What Are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are cosmetic treatments offered at The Warner Institute, involving the application of a chemical solution to the skin to exfoliate and eventually peel off. This controlled exfoliation removes damaged outer layers of the skin, prompting the regeneration of new, smoother skin. Chemical peels in Chicago have various strengths, addressing many skin situations such as fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, acne scars, and sun damage. The result is a refreshed, more radiant complexion.

Are Chemical Peels Right for Me?

Determining whether chemical peels suit you depends on various factors, but they are often an excellent option for individuals seeking to address multiple skin concerns. If you experience issues such as uneven skin tone, fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, or acne scars, chemical peels could suit your needs. A chemical peel may be a beneficial solution if you desire a smoother texture, improved skin tone, and a rejuvenated complexion. However, individual skin types and conditions vary, so a personalized consultation with The Warner Institute is essential to assess your unique needs and determine the appropriateness of chemical peels in Chicago. Our expert team, led by facial expert Dr. Jeremy Warner, will provide tailored recommendations based on a thorough evaluation, ensuring the best possible outcomes for your skin goals.

The Chemical Peels Procedure –
What To Expect

The chemical peels procedure at The Warner Institute involves several vital steps to enhance your skin's texture and appearance. Firstly, your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to eliminate makeup, oils, or impurities. Once prepared, a customized chemical solution tailored to your specific skin concerns is applied to the treatment area. The solution works by exfoliating the outermost layer of skin, prompting the removal of damaged or dead skin cells. The application process is relatively quick, typically taking 15 to 30 minutes. While you may experience a tingling or warming sensation during the application, the discomfort should be minimal. The choice of chemical peel — superficial, medium, or deep — will determine the depth of skin penetration and the extent of the peeling process. This targeted approach ensures that the treatment addresses your unique skin needs. The science behind chemical peels is their ability to induce medically controlled skin damage, prompting the skin to regenerate and reveal a smoother, more youthful complexion. During your consultation at The Warner Institute, we will provide detailed information on the specific type of chemical peel recommended for your skin concerns.

Chemical Peels Recovery

Following a chemical peel at The Warner Institute, the depth of the peel administered influences the recovery process. You may experience some redness and mild peeling for superficial and medium peels in the days following the treatment. This phase generally lasts for a week or two. Deeper peels may involve a more extended recovery period, with potential swelling and a more noticeable peeling process lasting up to two weeks. It's important to avoid direct sun exposure during the initial healing phase and to follow the skincare regimen as recommended by our team. While you may resume most daily activities shortly after a superficial peel, deeper peels can require more downtime. We will provide detailed post-treatment instructions and schedule follow-ups as needed to monitor your progress. It's essential to adhere to these guidelines to ensure optimal healing and achieve the desired results from your chemical peel in Chicago.
