A chemical peel in Renton, WA is one of the most effective professional skincare treatments for improving skin tone, texture, and clarity. At Blue Door Skin Studio, we offer expert chemical peel Renton WA services. Our peels are a non-invasive way to revitalize skin and address a variety of concerns. A chemical solution is applied to the skin. This causes it to exfoliate and peel off over time. There are three basic types of chemical peels, ranging from superficial to deep. Each type treats different skincare concerns.
Superficial or lunchtime peel:
Alpha-hydroxy acid, salicylic acid, or another mild acid is used to penetrate only the outer layer of skin to gently exfoliate. The treatment is used to improve the appearance of mild skin discoloration, acne, rough skin, smooth fine lines, as well as to refresh the face, neck, chest or hands.
Medium peel:
Typically trichloroacetic acid in addition to glycol acid penetrates the outer and middle layers of the skin. The treatment is used to treat visible scars, deep wrinkles, and moderate skin discoloration. It will also smooth rough skin and treat certain skin conditions.
Deep peel:
Typically these peels use phenol, a stronger chemical that penetrates deeply into the skin. This treatment removes the deepest of lines and wrinkles, age spots, and scars. Deep chemical peels often require specialized skincare in the weeks leading up to the peel. While deep chemical peels deliver the deepest, longest-lasting results, they often require some downtime as your skin heels from this more extensive type of exfoliation.
