✨ CHEMICAL PEEL DEPTHS EXPLAINED ✨
Questions and Consultations Available..
Results Vary..Everyone's Skin is different.
I offer customized professional high quality skin care regimens.
As a Aesthetician it's my responsibility to help educate clients about chemical peels and many don't know or understand there's different level of treatments available and ONE of the BIGGEST mistakes people make with chemical peels is... 👇
Thinking stronger = better ❌
The truth is:
Different peel depths target DIFFERENT skin layers and concerns 💗
Choosing the RIGHT peel matters WAY more than trying to go as deep as possible ✨
✨ SUPERFICIAL PEELS (SURFACE LEVEL)
These work mostly in the epidermis (top layer) 💧
Common acids:
✔️ Glycolic Acid
✔️ Lactic Acid
✔️ Mandelic Acid
✔️ Salicylic Acid
✔️ Mild Jessner’s
✨ Great for:
✔️ dull skin
✔️ uneven tone
✔️ mild acne
✔️ texture
✔️ fine lines
💡 Usually minimal downtime:
light dryness, flaking or redness
This is where MANY people should start 👏
✨ MEDIUM PEELS (MID-LEVEL)
These pe*****te deeper into the upper dermis 💉
Common peels:
✔️ TCA 20–35%
✔️ Strong Jessner’s
✔️ Higher-strength Salicylic Acid
✨ Often used for:
✔️ pigmentation
✔️ acne scars
✔️ sun damage
✔️ wrinkles
✔️ uneven texture
⚠️ More downtime:
redness, peeling + recovery
✨ DEEP PEELS (DEEP IMPACT)
These reach much deeper skin layers and are MUCH more aggressive ⚠️
Examples:
✔️ High-strength TCA
✔️ Phenol peels
✔️ Combination deep peels
✨ Used for:
✔️ severe wrinkles
✔️ deep acne scars
✔️ severe sun damage
✔️ advanced pigmentation concerns
⚠️ Higher risk:
❌ irritation
❌ scarring
❌ prolonged redness
❌ PIH if done improperly
These are NOT beginner treatments 👏
💡 IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER:
✔️ Depth determines downtime
✔️ More aggressive ≠ better results
✔️ Pre + post care matter A LOT
✔️ Barrier health affects healing
✔️ Healthy skin heals better
Sometimes consistent superficial treatments outperform aggressive treatments over time 💯
✨ BIGGEST ADVICE:
Start shallow.
Learn your skin.
Focus on healing + consistency first 💗
