Chemical Peels

Micro Peel

Micro Peel is a new, “no knives” technique that uses glycolic acid to remove the surface layer of dead skin cells to leave healthier, younger-looking skin. Micro Peel works on the principle of dermal infusion, where substances are absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream to nourish and rejuvenate the cells.

The technique uses a “vacuum” action to remove the outer skin layer, replaced by new cell growth. Micro Peel gives an immediate glow because it works on both the surface and deeper layers of the skin at the same time. It also stimulates collagen production, which makes the face appear smoother and more youthful over time.

Advanced Corrective Peel

Advanced Corrective Peel (ACP) is a unique brightening and skin smoothening treatment. ACP utilizes phenylethyl resorcinol to improve the skin’s overall appearance on your face and body. ACP offers an excellent solution for complexions that are dull, uneven, or rough in texture.

It removes dead surface cells, stimulates collagen growth, and lightens dark spots while refining pores and reducing superficial lines on the face and neck. ACP is useful in diminishing hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage, pregnancy masking, or chloasma due to hormonal changes.

Micro Peel with Sensitive Solution

Micro Peel with Sensitive Solution is a skin treatment that uses specialized chemical peels to achieve anti-aging, rejuvenation, and skin resurfacing results. This peel is perfect for addressing fine lines, wrinkles, large pores, uneven tone, and age spots.

What makes this skin treatment different is that it is suitable for all skin types, even sensitive ones. This works by gently exfoliating the outer layer of the skin while leaving it hydrated and radiant. Micropeel with Sensitive Solution is also an effective treatment for blackheads and whiteheads because it can remove dead skin cells clogging up pores.

PCA Peel

PCA peel, also known as superficial peel, is a chemical exfoliation process that targets the top layers of the skin. This aims to improve the appearance of the skin through exfoliation. This not only leaves your skin feeling fresh and healthy, but it will help reduce acne scarring and hyperpigmentation, leaving you with clear skin.

This type of deep chemical peel can help repair aging damage that has occurred over many years due to overexposure to the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays. The peeling takes just a few hours to complete, and usually, there are no scars after healing.

Before your treatment, we’ll go over your expectations, review your medical history to ensure your safety, and clean your face prior to your peel. During treatment, you may feel a mild stinging sensation while the chemical solution is applied to your skin. After a few minutes of letting the solution do its job, a cool compress will be applied to soothe the skin. Depending on how deep your treatment is, a neutralizing solution may also be applied. This process takes around 30 minutes to one hour from start to finish.

After your treatment, redness and swelling is completely normal and will settle over time. We’ll give you specialized instructions on how to care for your skin, which includes a careful selection of ointments and moisturizers to protect your skin while it heals. 

Now, the waiting period starts! Your skin will begin to peel and flake off over the next seven days, similar to a sunburn. You may have blisters that turn brown and crust away. Be diligent with sunscreen and avoid direct sunlight for several weeks after treatment. You should see your skin drastically improve over the next several weeks. A mild peel can be repeated at around four weeks until you get your desired results.

Am I a good candidate for a chemical peel?

One of the reasons we love chemical peels is because they are effective and safe for almost all skin types. While we tend to see the best results in our fairer-skinned patients, we also expect to see excellent results in a variety of skin tones, depending on skin concerns. 

We will not perform our chemical peels if you’re currently pregnant or using Accutane or similar skin medications. We also may need to postpone treating patients who have recently waxed, gotten a sunburn, had laser treatments, or facial plastic surgery. 

Our experienced staff at Modern MedSpa is here to provide you with a comfortable and enjoyable experience. While our patients do not need pain relief treatments with chemical peels, comfort levels do vary from patient to patient and will change based on the type and the strength of acids used. Deeper treatments may feel more of an intense burn with our glycolic acid and salicylic acid-based peels.

How many treatments you have total will depend on your skin, desired goals, and the type of chemical peels or other procedures in your treatment plan. Our Modern MedSpa professionals will design a treatment plan catered to your needs. Some patients are happy with results after their first treatment; however, the most typical treatment plan includes anywhere from three to six treatments spaced out by every four weeks.
