How Chemical Peels Works
Comprehensive Skin Consultation
Your chemical peel journey at Aloha Med Spa begins with an in-depth skin consultation. During this initial assessment, we review your medical history, discuss your skincare goals, and identify any contraindications. This personalized approach ensures that the chemical peel selected is perfectly suited to your skin’s needs and your aesthetic objectives.
Tailored Chemical Peel Application
Depending on the specific requirements of your skin and the goals set during your consultation, the chemical peel procedure can last anywhere from 20 to 60 minutes. Our skilled professionals carefully apply the peel, which is formulated to penetrate the deeper layers of your skin effectively while ensuring minimal discomfort. We monitor the treatment closely to manage any skin responses and to maximize your comfort throughout the process.
Post-Treatment Care and Follow-Up
After the peel, we provide detailed post-treatment care instructions to ensure a smooth and successful recovery. To achieve the best results, we generally recommend a series of three treatments, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. Each session promotes increased cell turnover, leading to significant improvements in skin tone, texture, and overall appearance.
