A chemical peel works by removing the outer layers of the skin on your face to uncover the unblemished layer below and encourage the growth of new cells. A peel can help brighten up dull, tired-looking skin, reduce acne breakouts, minimize large pores, and reduce or eliminate the appearance of other cosmetic concerns related to your complexion.
Arcadia Live Oak Med Spa, offers professional chemical peels performed by trained experts that will leave your skin looking brighter, smoother, healthier, and more radiant.
What Are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are facial treatments that use a special chemical solution to gently remove the outer layers of your skin. Eliminating this top layer uncovers the smoother, healthier skin underneath and can reduce or eliminate fine lines, acne, sun damage, uneven skin tone, or rough texture.
There are different types of chemical peels that vary in strength and how deeply they can penetrate.
Your Arcadia Live Oak Med Spa Specialist can create a treatment plan that will deliver the results you want and will recommend the chemical peel that best fits your needs and goals.
How Do Chemical Peels Work?
A chemical peel contains a blend of ingredients like glycolic, lactic, or citric acid to brighten and smooth your skin; salicylic acid to clean out your pores and reduce breakouts; and TCA or retinoic acid to reduce wrinkles, uneven tone, and texture. Some chemical peels also include ingredients that brighten your skin, like kojic acid or vitamin C, and they can also contain antioxidants like glutathione to help reduce many of the visible signs of aging.
The peel solution is applied to your skin, and the chemical blend begins to go to work, which will start the exfoliation process, and eventually all the skin on this layer will peel away. When the top layer of skin is damaged, it stimulates your body’s natural healing process, and new cells begin to form to repair the damage. Over the next several days, all the old, damaged skin will peel off and uncover the fresher, smoother, clearer, more even-toned skin underneath.

Chemical Peels At Arcadia Live Oak Medical Spa
One of our most requested chemical peels is called “The Perfect Derma Peel” and is a medical-grade, medium-depth chemical peel that works for all skin types and can help improve many cosmetic concerns.
One thing that makes it a client favorite is that it is the only peel available today that contains glutathione, which is a strong antioxidant that your skin naturally makes, but as you get older, its production slows down. Glutathione helps to brighten your skin and helps your skin recover from damage caused by free radicals, which slows down the appearance of visible signs of aging.
The Perfect Dermal Peel also contains ingredients like TCA (trichloroacetic acid), retinoic acid, salicylic acid, kojic acid, phenol, and vitamin C that all work together to improve your skin’s tone by targeting hyperpigmentation, melasma, sun damage, fine lines, and acne scars, improving pore size, and helping naturally tighten your skin by boosting collagen production.
