Chemical peels are non-invasive cosmetic treatments that exfoliate the surface of your skin to reduce blemishes as well as fine lines and wrinkles, smooth skin texture, improve radiance, and restore your skin’s overall health. Because chemical peels come in different formulations, from superficial to highly penetrating, they can treat a wide range of skin concerns and are appropriate for most skin types and tones. The best type of chemical peel for you depends on multiple factors, including the type and severity of your skincare issues.
A micropeel is a superficial peel using a milder form of chemical exfoliant and can be customized to suit your skin’s needs. SkinCeuticals branded peels come in various strengths and utilize unbuffered acids derived from organic, natural sources.

What To Expect During Your SkinCeuticals Micropeel
Your SkinCeuticals micropeel session in Richmond starts with our highly skilled esthetic technician thoroughly cleansing your skin before dermaplaning the area. Dermaplaning is an exfoliation method that uses a small handheld tool to glide a sterile blade across the skin. This removes the upper-most layer of dead skin cells as well as the fine hairs from the surface of your face to allow the peel solution to penetrate your skin more effectively.
After this, your esthetician applies the SkinCeuticals solution or gel that best suits your skin’s needs. It is normal to experience some mild itching or burning during treatment. The solution is left on the area for a pre-determined amount of time. While some chemical peels are self-neutralizing, most need a buffering solution or water applied upon completion of the treatment.
How Many Micropeel Sessions Will I Need?
While every patient’s skincare needs are different, we typically recommend six SkinCeuticals micropeel treatments spaced two weeks apart. Additionally, following up with maintenance sessions every one to three months helps protect your skin health as well as your newly achieved soft, smooth appearance. Our team can help you choose from a variety of at-home medical-grade skincare products to further preserve and prolong your glowing complexion.
Skin Care After a SkinCeuticals Micropeel
One of the most significant benefits of our SkinCeuticals micropeels in Richmond is that they typically do not require any downtime, and you may resume your normal daily activities immediately after treatment. You may experience mild redness similar to a light sunburn for a day or two, depending on the fairness of your complexion. It is vital to protect your skin from UV rays at all times, especially following micropeels or other treatments that compromise the skin’s barrier. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily post-treatment, and keep sun exposure to a minimum.
