Chemical Peel

A chemical peel is an aesthetic treatment that enhances skin appearance by applying a chemical solution to remove the outer skin layer, unveiling smoother, rejuvenated skin underneath. It effectively addresses concerns like acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots by shedding dead skin cells, unclogging pores, and encouraging fresh skin cell growth. Available in varying intensities, chemical peels are tailored to different skin depths to achieve specific results.

Dermaplaning

Dermaplaning is a gentle, non-invasive exfoliation treatment that revitalizes the skin by carefully removing dead skin cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz) from the surface. Using a sterile, medical-grade blade, this technique unveils smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin instantly. Dermaplaning helps minimize the appearance of dullness, rough texture, and mild discoloration while enhancing the absorption and effectiveness of skincare products.

Perfect for all skin types, this treatment delivers a fresh, polished glow with no downtime—making it an ideal choice before events or as part of your routine skincare regimen.

Exfoliation Overview

Exfoliation is essential for healthier, brighter skin. By removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores, it improves tone, texture, and clarity while enhancing the effectiveness of other skincare treatments. Using expert techniques and advanced tools, we help reveal your skin’s natural glow and support long-term skin health.

How Exfoliation Works

Exfoliation gently resurfaces the skin by removing the outermost layer of dead cells, improving texture, unclogging pores, and promoting a radiant, youthful glow. This process not only refreshes your skin but also enhances the absorption of skincare products for better results.

What Exfoliation Treats

Our exfoliation treatments target a variety of skin concerns, including uneven skin tone, fine lines, acne, sun damage, and dullness, helping you achieve a brighter, refreshed look.

Before, During, and After

What to Expect Before Exfoliation

Our experienced team in St. Louis is here to help you achieve your beauty goals, starting with a personalized evaluation to determine the ideal exfoliation treatment for your unique skin needs. Before the treatment begins, your skin will be gently cleansed to ensure it’s perfectly prepared for the exfoliation process.

What to Expect During Exfoliation

Depending on the method, your session involves removing dead skin cells through a chemical solution, hydration, or mechanical exfoliation.

What to Expect After Exfoliation

After an exfoliation treatment, results typically include smoother, brighter skin. What to expect following the procedure varies by treatment type.

Chemical peels can cause mild reactions like redness, stinging, or flaking for light peels, while medium peels might result in redness and flaking similar to sunburn. Deep peels require about two weeks of recovery, with peeling, crusting, redness, and mild discomfort lasting up to three months.

DiamondGlow® treatments are gentler, usually causing no significant downtime or peeling, though mild flaking may occur for those with sensitive skin.

VI Peels may lead to peeling between days 3-5 post-treatment, and HydraFacials typically leave skin brighter and smoother but may cause slight flaking or redness that subsides within hours.

Sunscreen is recommended following all treatments, and direct sunlight should be avoided.

Frequently Asked Questions About Exfoliation

What are the benefits of regular exfoliation?

Regular exfoliation offers numerous benefits for your skin. It helps improve skin texture and tone, giving you a smoother, more even complexion. You’ll also notice your skin looking brighter as exfoliation removes dead cells that can dull your skin’s natural glow.

Beyond the surface, exfoliation enhances the effectiveness of your skincare products by allowing them to penetrate more deeply. It also increases cell turnover and boosts collagen synthesis, which can help maintain youthful, healthy-looking skin.

Can over-exfoliation damage my skin?

Yes, over-exfoliating your skin can cause damage. It may lead to irritation, dryness, or increased sensitivity. To keep your skin healthy, it’s best to follow guidelines from trusted skincare professionals, like the experts in St. Louis at Aestheticare STL.

Does exfoliation help with hyperpigmentation and dark spots?

Yes, exfoliation accelerates cell turnover and can reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation and dark spots over time.

How does exfoliation improve the absorption of skincare products?

By removing the barrier of dead skin cells, exfoliation allows active ingredients in skincare products to penetrate more effectively.

What is the difference between chemical and physical exfoliation?

Chemical exfoliation uses acids to break down and remove dead skin cells, while physical exfoliation involves using a scrub or tool to physically buff them away. Treatments like DiamondGlow® focus on physical exfoliation, utilizing a diamond-tipped wand for precise, mechanical removal.
