Frequently asked questions about the benefits of chemical peels
If you are considering getting a chemical peel, you might have a few questions and concerns. We have compiled a list of frequently asked questions about this popular skin treatment and its benefits. Let’s explore some information to help you decide if chemical peels are the right choice for you!
What is a chemical peel treatment?
A chemical peel is a cosmetic treatment that uses a tailored solution applied to the skin to exfoliate and improve its appearance. This solution, typically composed of a blend of acids and/or enzymes, helps remove dead skin cells and promotes natural skin cell turnover, resulting in smoother, brighter skin.
What are the benefits of chemical peels?
Chemical peels provide numerous benefits that make them a favorite among our patients at Cassie Lane Aesthetics. They effectively address a range of skin concerns, including acne, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone and texture. Additionally, chemical peels can enhance the overall appearance of your skin by reducing fine lines, improving firmness and elasticity, and promoting a more youthful glow.
What should I expect during a chemical peel skin treatment at Cassie Lane Aesthetics?
During a chemical peel treatment, your skilled aesthetician will carefully apply the chosen solution to your face or the targeted area. Depending on the type of peel you select, you may feel mild tingling or stinging as the solution exfoliates your skin. This sensation is normal and usually fades shortly after the treatment. Once the peel is complete, the solution is neutralized, and a soothing mask or moisturizer is applied to help calm your skin.

Is there downtime after a chemical peel?
Downtime after a chemical peel can vary based on the type and strength of the solution used. Some patients may experience slight redness, flaking, or peeling in the days following the treatment, but these effects usually resolve within a week. To protect your newly revealed skin, it’s essential to avoid direct sun exposure and apply a high-SPF sunscreen for at least a week after your chemical peel.
Are there any potential risks associated with chemical peels?
When performed by an experienced professional, like our team at Cassie Lane Aesthetics, and when patients adhere to post-treatment care instructions, the risk of complications from a chemical peel is minimal.
