Chemical Peels in Marina del Rey

Uncover Radiant Skin With Gentle Chemical Peels

What is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel involves applying a specially formulated solution to the skin for deep exfoliation and to remove dead or imperfect skin cells. This process promotes new, healthier skin regeneration, resulting in a smoother, more radiant complexion. Chemical peels come in different strengths — light, medium, and deep — depending on the desired results and the patient's skin type. This non-invasive procedure is popular for rejuvenating the skin with minimal downtime.

What Does a Chemical Peel Help?

A chemical peel initiates controlled exfoliation and removes the outermost layers of skin. This stimulates the skin's natural healing processes, promoting the growth of new, healthier skin cells.

By smoothing the skin's surface and improving skin texture, a chemical peel effectively reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

What to Expect During a Chemical Peel in Marina del Rey

Before getting a chemical peel at Clear Medical, you’ll meet with Dr. Shawn to discuss your aesthetic goals and develop a personalized peel for your specific skin type. Dr. Shawn will also discuss preparing your skin with a specific skincare routine before treatment.

During the treatment, a chemical solution expertly formulated by Dr. Shawn will be applied to your skin. You may experience a light tingling or mild burning sensation during treatment, usually lasting 10 to 15 minutes.

After the peel, you can expect mild irritation and sensitivity as your skin heals and regenerates. You’ll also experience skin peeling, similar to when healing from a sunburn. Dr. Shawn will explain specific post-treatment care instructions, including moisturizing and protecting your new skin from sun exposure.
