Chemical Peels for Everyone

Fall is in the air and the leaves are changing, but with the changing weather comes changes of our bodies, specifically our skin. Many people experience dryness, dulling and stress breakouts as winter looms nearer. Obviously we all want to maintain our at home skincare regimens and hydration levels but what do you do when the dryness is still creeping in and you miss the glow of summer?

Regular treatments at GLAM are always going to be a recommendation from us, obviously we love just hanging out with you and making you feel your very best. But, there is one specific treatment that can tackle all these problems in one go, and when combined with other services like Dermaplaning or our Celluma Red Light Therapy you can see significant differences. We’re talking smoother, less textured skin. Brightness and reduced undereye circles as well as acne scar repair and other benefits of higher cell turnover.

The secret sauce is a deep exfoliation and skincare infusion that comes with a Chemical Peel. Here at GLAM we offer 3 different treatments which means we can work with you to pick the product that is going to help target everything you’re hoping to improve at your treatment. Chemical peels are where we apply a chemical solution to your skin that removes dead skin cells and reveals the fresher, smoother skin underneath. There is a range of intensity with varying levels of results depending on your skin's needs.

The biggest benefit of chemical peels is improved tone and texture. When you choose this treatment it can help reduce visible fine lines and wrinkles, minimize acne scare and tackle hyperpigmentation. When you exfoliate regularly you stimulate collagen production, and those effects are simply magnified with deeper treatments like this.

Before and after peel care is crucial. You want to taper off retinol products 5-7 days before your treatment to avoid excess sensitivity and decrease risk of irritation. Waxing, laser and honestly, any other treatments should be skipped for at least a week before you come in. As always hydration is going to be your best friend, drink water, eat whole foods and maintain your normal moisturizer regimen. Post peel makes sure you follow our instructions as the aftercare varies depending on the product we used on you. If you can, avoid sun exposure and wear a broad-spectrum SPF, at least 30, like you do any other day, right?

In the end, this is a specialty treatment that is only truly available and beneficial when done by a professional, think of it as a little extra treat, one that benefits all your other skincare maintenance. We exclusively use IMAGE Skincare which is a trusted, professional, physician-formulated brand that ensures you can maintain your healthy complexion for years to come.
