Reveal Radiant Skin
When skin becomes dull or loses some of its vibrancy, it can be hard to put a finger on what exactly is different. But you know it when you see it. At Scout Aesthetics in Louisville Chemical Peels can restore that luster and fade lines and improve hyperpigmentation. Led by Jennifer Fick, DNP, our team is passionate about tailored patient care and world-class results.
Level Up Your Skincare
Removing damaged skin cells and providing collagen stimulation are the key goals of chemical peels, but there are a variety of types.
Chemical peels offer a range of exfoliation levels from light to medium to deep peels, depending on factors like aesthetic goals, the kinds of issues to be addressed, and skin sensitivity. These treatments typically contain a medical-grade combination of exfoliants and acids along with nutrients to stimulate the skin and provide a boost in skin health.
With main ingredients lactic acid, salicylic acid, and resorcinol, the Glow Peel is a medium-depth peel that can address an incredible variety of skin concerns. Patients can see improvement in fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, discoloration, and much more.
The VI Peel is a specialized blend of TCA (trichloroacetic acid), salicylic acid, retinoic acid, and other ingredients that gives patients a way to see significant improvement in skin appearance with a gentle formulation. This peel is a great option for patients seeking to reduce acne, achieve a more balanced complexion, or want a generally more youthful, brighter skin look.
Refreshment Anyone?
Through specially formulated, medical-grade ingredients, chemical peels can help improve both the appearance and the health of the skin. With reduced signs of aging, fewer acne breakouts, and more even skin tone, patients enjoy rejuvenated skin and increased confidence. Louisville chemical peel patients can see outstanding benefits that include:
Supple, Smooth Skin
Ideal candidates for chemical peels are both men and women who want to address specific concerns like aging signs, acne, or hyperpigmentation, as well as those who simply want to rejuvenate dull skin for overall radiance.
Patients who are prone to cold sores, keloid scarring, or who have a history of frequent Accutane use may not be good candidates, and it’s important to discuss your full medical history with your provider.
Pick Your Perfect Peel
At your exclusive consultation, our team will expertly evaluate your skin and help you determine which peel is ideal for you.
We will then create a tailored treatment plan that may include a chemical peel along with other treatments that can help you achieve your aesthetic goals. Prior to your chemical peel, we will ask that you stay hydrated, avoid sun exposure, and stop using any exfoliation products for about one week.
Your Chemical Peel Procedure
Your provider will begin by thoroughly cleansing your skin to create a clean, fresh surface. Depending on the type of peel selected for your needs, the solution may be applied in-office and left on, applied and removed during the visit, or applied with instructions for at-home removal. Most appointments are completed within 30 to 60 minutes, and many patients find the process soothing and simple, with little to no discomfort during the session.
Results, Recovery, and Aftercare
Patients may experience mild redness immediately after treatment, but there is no required downtime. Depending on the type of peel, the skin may begin to flake and peel within a day or two, and peeling may last for a few days to a week. While the skin may be itchy and slightly uncomfortable, it’s crucial to avoid picking at the skin or peeling it with your fingers since this can cause scarring or infection. As the skin heals and collagen continues to be rebuilt, patients will see gradual results over the course of weeks and months.
