How Do Chemical Face Peels at Lushful Aesthetics Work?


A chemical peel utilizes a solution of actives (mainly acids) to induce a controlled injury to the outermost layers of the skin. The body removes the damaged skin via “peeling,” and the new skin that is revealed underneath has improved texture and more even pigment. Facial chemical peels also work beautifully to improve acne/blemishes by increasing the cell turnover rate of the skin and may help to reduce acne scars. Depending on the concern being targeted, as well as the area being treated, multiple sessions may be required for optimal results if you want to utilize facial chemical peels for hyperpigmentation or dark spots. Patients of our men’s med spa who receive this service are provided with medical-grade skincare to optimize and maintain their results.

FAQs

Do chemical peels help with pigmentation?

Absolutely! Chemical peels for hyperpigmentation is a fantastic treatment option. The Reve Enlighten Peel is the gold standard chemical peel for hyperpigmentation and melasma. Proper medical grade skincare and strong sun protection is critical to maintain your results. 


Do chemical peels for your face hurt?

This varies depending on the chemical peel itself and the patient's pain tolerance. The Reve Peel Fresh and Reve Peel Enlighten Plus are not particularly "spicy". However, the Reve Peel Classic is a  strong chemical peel that will address several skin conditions. This peel can be more intense for many. We utilize a medical grade cooling device to help with the initial stinging sensation. Once the peel has dried, the stinging sensation is very mild and tolerable. It will remain like this until it is washed off. Upon washing the peel off the skin will feel like you experienced a sunburn. Utilizing the post-care medical grade skincare provided will help soothe your skin and improve your results from the peel.


How long does it take to see results from a chemical face peel?

Patients will start peeling usually starting on the third day after the chemical peel treatment at our NYC MedSpa. It will take a full week for the patient to stop peeling (there may be some residual peeling one to two days after). Once the patient has stopped peeling they can fully appreciate their results, such as reduced acne scars, from the chemical peel.
