Chemical Peel North Vancouver

Are you wondering how to choose the right peel for your skincare needs? Whether you’re dealing with acne, age spots, hyperpigmentation, or simply want to maintain a youthful appearance, it’s important to understand the different active ingredients in peels. Each ingredient has specific properties that target certain skin conditions or blemishes. By knowing what you want to achieve with your peel, you can find the best match. For instance, if you have oily or acne-prone skin, salicylic peels are your go-to. On the other hand, glycolic peels are more effective for combating age spots, wrinkles, and fine lines. Let’s find the perfect peel for you!

We always start our clients off with a lower strength, less aggressive peel. That way we can build up your tolerance, and avoid discomfort.

Superficial peels provide only a slight reduction in signs of aging and skin damage. To see noticeable results, it’s important to use them consistently in cycles. This approach is safer and allows for more peels in a shorter amount of time. After a few peels, you’ll start to see a difference in blemishes. Even after just one peel, you’ll notice improved texture and smoothness as your skin sheds old, dead cells. However, it’s important to be patient and not expect miracles from a single peel. It’s best to start with a lower strength peel and gradually increase frequency for optimal results. Keep in mind that results will vary for each person as everyone’s experience with peels is unique.

Experience a gentle tingle during chemical peels – nothing more! If you do feel a slight discomfort, a mild pain reliever can help, but it’s usually unnecessary. Especially if you’re using a beginner’s peel, there’s no need to worry. The tingling or burning sensation is simply a sign that the peel is doing its job, so don’t be alarmed – it’s not meant to be painful.
