What Is the SkinCeuticals Advanced Corrective Peel?
The SkinCeuticals Advanced Corrective Peel treatment in Richmond is a deeply penetrating and highly advanced chemical peel that works in the lowest layer of the epidermis. This basal layer is comprised of live tissue and pigment.
The peel contains a mixture of natural beta-hydroxy acids (BHA) and alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA) that exfoliate, unclog pores, regulate oil production, and hydrate and disinfect the skin. It also contains phenylethyl resorcinol which is an antioxidant derived from scotch pine bark that helps lighten areas of hyperpigmentation.
The benefits of this advanced chemical peel are immediate and long-lasting, and the treatment itself requires little to no downtime. Additionally, the SkinCeuticals Advanced Corrective Peel is a wonderful option for those who experience acne, as it helps minimize breakouts and heals post-blemish scarring.
Applying SkinCeuticals Advanced Corrective Peel
During your SkinCeuticals Advanced Corrective Peel treatment at our Richmond office, our highly trained esthetician will apply one to four layers of the peel solution at regular intervals, depending on your needs and your skin’s reaction to each layer. We will closely monitor your skin during the entire process. Some tingling, itching, or mild burning is normal.
The solution is self-neutralizing, which means it is safe, predictable, and requires no further steps once applied. The peel solution will continue to work on your skin over the next four hours in a time-released manner. It is crucial that you do not apply anything containing water to your skin for the duration of these four hours, including liquid makeup.
After Your Advanced Corrective Peel Treatment
You should refrain from exercise and exposure to extreme heat for the first 24 hours following your Richmond SkinCeuticals Advanced Corrective Peel to avoid irritation.
You will begin to notice flaking and peeling between 24-36 hours post-treatment, typically lasting for three to ten days. Do not touch your face during this process, although you may apply moisturizer and sunscreen. When the peeling stops, you will be able to see healthy, clear, fresh skin.
Our team may recommend different post-treatment skincare regimens depending on your skin type and needs to help prolong and protect your results.
