Benefits of Chemical Peels

Our expert team at Hawkins Aesthetics is dedicated to providing exceptional services to enhance your skin’s natural beauty. Here’s how our chemical peel in Frederick, MD can benefit you:

Improves Skin Texture and Tone

Our chemical peels gently exfoliate the skin, removing layers of dead cells and impurities to reveal a smoother, more radiant complexion. They help refine the skin’s surface, reducing roughness and uneven texture while promoting healthy skin regeneration.

Enhances Skincare Product Absorption

By eliminating the outer layer of dead skin cells, our peels create a clean, receptive surface for your skincare products. This allows serums, moisturizers, and treatments to penetrate deeper into the skin, maximizing their effectiveness and delivering long-lasting benefits.

Treats Acne and Acne Scars

Our advanced peels help to unclog pores, reduce excess oil production, and eliminate acne-causing bacteria, leading to fewer breakouts. They also accelerate skin cell turnover, fading post-acne marks and scars while promoting a clearer, healthier complexion.

Minimizes Hyperpigmentation

Whether caused by sun damage, hormonal changes, or aging, uneven skin tone and dark spots can be visibly reduced with our targeted peel treatments. These peels break down excess melanin, lightening discoloration, and promoting a balanced, more uniform complexion over time.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Before the procedure, your skin specialist will thoroughly cleanse your skin to remove any dirt, oil, or makeup. The chemical peel solution will then be applied to your skin, targeting specific concerns such as fine lines, acne, or discoloration.

The number of sessions depends on your skin type, concerns, and goals. While some individuals notice improvements after just one treatment, most achieve the best results with a series of 3-6 treatments spaced a few weeks apart. Regular maintenance peels may also be recommended to sustain long-term benefits.

Recovery time varies depending on the depth of the peel:

  • Light Peels (Superficial Peels): Minimal to no downtime. You may experience slight redness and mild flaking for a few days.
  • Medium Peels: Expect redness, sensitivity, and peeling that lasts around 3-7 days as the outer layer of skin sheds.
  • Deep Peels: Require a longer recovery period of 7-14 days with more intense peeling, redness, and potential swelling.

Most clients experience temporary side effects, such as:

  • Mild redness and sensitivity similar to a mild sunburn.
  • Peeling or flaking of the skin, typically lasting a few days to a week, depending on the peel’s strength.
  • Temporary dryness or tightness, which can be managed with proper hydration and moisturization.
