Calgary Chemical Peels
Are you struggling with unwanted wrinkles, discloured skin, or acne scars? At Xthetics Face & Body Sculpt Calgary, we offer medical grade chemical peels customized for your specific skin concerns. Chemical peels can be used on the face, back, buttocks, arms, and legs! Learn how we can get rid of all your skin woes with the use of ALUMIERMD CHEMICAL PEELS. Chemical peels encourage exfoliation by sloughing off dead skin cells, forcing the body to quickly replenish them with new cells. When peels are performed regularly, the skin gets used to this process and begins to rejuvenate itself like younger skin.

Chemical Peels
Unlike mechanical exfoliation which physically smooths and lifts dead skin cells off the skin, chemical exfoliants found in chemical peels lower the pH of the skin towards acidic. This acid environment dissolves specific skin components depending on the peel depth. Chemical peels are the perfect addition to any cosmetic treatments, or even alone for any one looking to get dewy, clear, and glowing skin. Healthy, radiant skin doesn't happen overnight, and some treatments take time to show results. A single chemical peel can provide the immediate effect of bright, smooth, and radiant skin; however, more significant results in treating texural issues, discolouration, fine lines and inflamed acne could take longer. Therefore, usually a series of scheduled treatments is recommended.

The safety of chemical peels been well established. In fact, chemical peels are one of the most popular skin treatments in North America. The reason for this is due to the large safety profile of peels. When performed by a trained skin care expert, chemical peels are an excellent way to target your skin care concerns.
Patients with active coldsores, herpes complex or warts in the treated area
One week prior to your treatment you must not wax, use any depilatory creams or have any laser treatments or electrolysis performed. 3-5 days before your treatment stop using topical prescriptions, Retin-A, Tazorac, BHA’s & AHA’s or benzyl peroxide. Any cosmetic facial treatments including laser, fillers or surgery should be completely resolved and healed before having a chemical peel.
Most peels are performed in less than one hour, depending on size of the area being treated.
Procedures may vary depending on the type of peel. When the chemical solution is applied to the face, sensations include a mild stinging, warmth, or tingling are temporary and last 3-5 minutes until the peel self neutralizes, or can last up to 20 minutes if the peel allows.
There is no down time with chemical peels. However, special care and products are required after treatment to ensure your skin renews itself properly. After each peel, you will be sent home with a post-procedure kit to ensure you have everything you need to clean, nourish, and protect your skin. It is also important to stay out of the sun while peeling (not all chemical peels cause skin to peel) to avoid hyperpigmentation and picking/peeling the skin is prohibited as it can lead to scarring.
