When your skin needs an extra boost, our chemical peels in St. Louis can help. Chemical peels are filled with skin-loving ingredients that promote cellular turnover to give your complexion a fresh start.
A chemical peel works by shedding away old skin cells and pushing new, less damaged cells to the surface. Once the peeling process is complete, you’ll have ultra-smooth skin that hasn’t been tainted by the sun’s damaging effects.
The Lifestyle Center in St. Louis, MO, specializes in customized chemical peel treatments designed to rejuvenate and restore your skin’s natural beauty. Experience the transformation for yourself and unveil a brighter, more youthful complexion.
A chemical peel is an aesthetic procedure designed to enhance skin appearance. It involves the application of a specialized chemical solution that removes the outermost layer of the skin, revealing smoother, unmarked skin beneath. This treatment addresses various skin issues such as acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots.
Chemical peels work by shedding off dead skin cells, unclogging pores, and promoting the growth of fresh skin cells, leading to significant skin rejuvenation. Available in different intensities, these peels are tailored to reach varying levels of skin depth, achieving diverse outcomes.
A chemical peel usually takes about 15 minutes. First, your skin is thoroughly cleaned. Then, the chemical solution is applied to your face. Sometimes, it might also be used on your neck and chest.
This solution soaks into your skin for a while before it’s taken off. If needed, your skincare specialist might suggest having more than one chemical peel session to get the results you’re looking for.
Chemical peels treat a wide range of skin issues, offering advantages for acne-prone skin, scars, rosacea, and the visible effects of aging such as wrinkles and uneven skin tone. By exfoliating the outermost layer of the skin, these treatments encourage collagen production, diminish inflammation, and boost the performance of skin care products applied topically.
This leads to unclogging pores, reducing oil production, and eliminating bacteria that cause acne. Furthermore, chemical peels can ease symptoms of rosacea through their anti-inflammatory properties.
In addition to addressing specific concerns, chemical peels rejuvenate the skin by softening fine lines, enhancing texture and moisture levels, and creating a luminous, more uniform skin tone.
They also treat hyperpigmentation and lackluster skin, unveiling a healthier, glowing appearance. Chemical peels can also remove precancerous growths on the skin, potentially reducing the risk of skin cancer.
In contrast to procedures like microdermabrasion or laser therapy, which rely on physical exfoliation or light energy to promote skin renewal, chemical peels use a specialized chemical solution to peel away the skin’s top layers, unveiling a smoother, rejuvenated layer underneath.
This technique helps diminish the visibility of scars, wrinkles, and dark spots and improves the skin’s texture and overall complexion. Chemical peels offer a range of customizable treatments from gentle to more intensive peels, uniquely tailored to address various skin types and concerns.

Once we apply the peel, chemicals work as a controlled destruction of the skin’s epidermis and dermis, leading to total rejuvenation and skin replenishment. During the process, the peel’s ingredients target visual signs of aging, discoloration, and even acne to reveal new, more youthful-looking skin.
This process not only diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles but also helps to even out skin tone, improving overall texture. The result is a smoother, clearer complexion that radiates a healthy, youthful glow.
Our skilled team is dedicated to guiding you toward achieving your beauty aspirations, beginning with an evaluation to identify the best treatments for your distinctive skin needs. Before a chemical peel, your skin will be gently cleansed to prepare for treatment.
During a chemical peel, an aesthetician will clean your face and apply a chemical solution that can induce mild to intense sensations, ranging from stinging to burning, depending on the peel’s depth. Light peels may cause slight discomfort and require minimal downtime.
Medium peels can lead to redness, whitish-grey skin appearance, and flaking reminiscent of severe sunburn, with recovery beginning within 48 hours. Deep peels involve more intense preparation, including sedatives and anesthetics, with recovery involving redness, swelling, and peeling that can last several weeks but offer dramatic, long-lasting results up to 10 years.
Following a chemical peel treatment, patients may encounter varying degrees of skin reactions based on the intensity of the peel. Light peels can lead to mild redness, stinging, and flaking, without altering skin color. Direct sunlight should be avoided, and sunscreen should be worn post-treatment.
Medium peels may cause more pronounced redness and flaking, akin to severe sunburn effects. Deep peels require a recovery period of about two weeks before returning to daily activities, with possible peeling, crusting, and redness lasting up to three months, alongside discomfort managed by prescribed pain relief.
Despite these temporary side effects, the enduring results of a deep peel can be significant, lasting up to a decade.
You are a good candidate for a chemical peel if you have acne, scars, fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, or enlarged pores.
The adverse reactions to Chemical Peels vary based on their strength. Light peels can cause slight irritation, with the skin healing in about 1 to 7 days. More pronounced swelling and redness can result from medium peels, requiring 7 to 14 days to recover. For deep peels, significant redness and the development of crusts are common, with the healing process possibly extending up to two weeks.
After starting your chemical peel treatment, you can anticipate seeing a noticeable enhancement in your skin’s texture and overall tone as early as the first week. With each passing week, expect ongoing improvements such as lighter pigmentation, and a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles.
The longevity of these results will vary based on the intensity of your treatment and your commitment to aftercare and skin protection.
Chemical peels are considered safe when conducted by a skilled, qualified aesthetician using FDA-approved, medical-grade chemicals specifically chosen for your skin type.
The amount of chemical peel treatments needed to reach the intended results varies, contingent upon the skin condition and the intensity of the chemical peel applied. Typically, 1-3 sessions are required for optimal results.
