A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure used to improve the appearance and texture of the skin. It involves applying a chemical solution to the skin, which helps to remove the dead skin from the top layers of the skin, revealing smoother, more even-toned skin underneath.
Chemical peels can be performed on the face, neck, hands, and other body areas. They can help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, age spots, and uneven skin tone while shrinking the pores.
This is a medical-grade facial peel customized to your skin. The type of peel used will depend on the individual's skin type and the specific concerns they want to address.
Before jumping into any in-clinic treatment, our expert providers always conduct a full 360-degree consultation.
Since the Zest Peel is all about customization, we'll look at your skin and suggest the best chemical peel that matches your skin type and unique concerns.
Before your first treatment, we kick off by snapping your medical photos. Your treatment journey starts with a good cleanse to remove debris and makeup. Then, we prep the skin with an alcohol-based solution.
During the treatment, we apply the chemical solution to your skin; you might feel a bit of tingling or even a slight burning sensation. Don't worry; it's all part of the process. The next step is applying your very own custom mask.
We'll gently remove the mask using a chilled or hot towel and then get your custom skincare program rolling. We're here to ensure you feel fresh, fully hydrated, and glowing like a superstar.
This treatment does a great job of exfoliating but can leave your skin a tad sensitive. So, it's best to stay away from Mr. Sunshine and too much exercise for a while. And as much as you might want to, don't pick or peel your skin. Just let your body do its thing and heal on its own.
Proper pre-care and post-care for a chemical peel are crucial to get the best results and minimize any possible side effects or complications.
Steer clear of sun exposure and tanning beds at least two weeks before and two weeks after the treatment, as they could up your risk of skin damage.
There are certain skincare products you should take a break from, too. Things like retinoids, glycolic acid, and salicylic acid should be put on pause one week before and one week after the treatment. And if you're thinking about hair removal, like waxing or threading, make sure to avoid that two weeks before and two weeks after the treatment.
Post-chemical peel, your skin might feel a bit dry and tight, so it's key to moisturize regularly to help soothe and hydrate your skin. And no matter how much you want to, avoid picking or scratching at any peeling skin or scabs that might form after the treatment.
The Zest Peel can be that magical addition to most of our treatments, working wonders to give you the glowing skin you've always dreamed of.
Our exfoliating duo is the perfect tag team to get your skin glowing!
Pairing a microdermabrasion treatment with a Zest Peel really kicks things up a notch. This combo helps clear away superficial dead skin and boosts the peel's effectiveness.
Microdermabrasion sweeps away the top layers of dead skin, allowing the peel's exfoliating acids to delve deeper into your skin for a truly transformative glow-up.
You'll end up with super-smooth, soft, and radiant skin that'll make you feel totally refreshed and renewed. Give this dynamic duo a whirl today and spot the difference for yourself.
Pairing a Zest Peel with Laser Resurfacing, that uses laser energy causing greater damage to the upper layer of your skin increasing your cell regeneration in the healing process, can make for even more jaw-dropping results. This combo works particularly well for treating scars or deep wrinkles.
Another fab match for the Zest Peel are wrinkle relaxers that we inject into the skin to put the brakes on those muscles that cause wrinkles. Teaming up wrinkle relaxers with a chemical peel can help to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles even more, especially around the eyes and forehead.
When you get a Zest Peel, you can address your skin tone and texture with no pain. Depending on your skin concerns and goals the treatment provider will determine which method is best for you. With the Zest Peel, you may feel a warm and prickly sensation during the treatment, but it is overall very comfortable.
For each facial peel, there is no downtime! You can resume your daily activities with a more hydrated, brightened and refreshed look.
You must disclose and share your complete medical history, including supplements, prescribed medication and lifestyle, to ensure we know which Zest Peel will be suitable for you. Most people can safely undergo chemical peels, but there are some exceptions. If you are currently pregnant or breastfeeding, have certain health conditions, experience slow wound healing, have certain skin conditions, or have had recent exposure to intense sunlight (within the past month), you may not be eligible for this treatment. Additionally, some medications may also prevent you from undergoing a chemical peel.
