Medical Grade Chemical Peels

An AlumierMD chemical peel works by exfoliating the top layers of the skin to reveal fresher, healthier skin beneath. These peels contain a blend of acids that target specific skin concerns such as acne, hyperpigmentation, and uneven texture. By removing dead skin cells and stimulating cellular turnover, the treatment helps to unclog pores, smooth the skin’s surface, and reduce the appearance of blemishes and fine lines.

The process is safe and effective, with minimal downtime. AlumierMD’s carefully formulated peels are designed for different skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone skin, making them customisable for each individual’s needs. After the peel, you can expect brighter, clearer skin, and continued improvements over time as the skin heals and rejuvenates.

Regular chemical peels offer numerous long-term benefits for maintaining healthy, radiant skin. By consistently exfoliating the top layers of the skin, regular peels help improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and fade hyperpigmentation. They also stimulate collagen production, which promotes firmer, more youthful-looking skin over time.

For those with acne-prone or congested skin, regular peels can prevent breakouts by keeping pores clear and reducing inflammation. Additionally, they enhance the effectiveness of your at-home skincare products by allowing active ingredients to penetrate deeper into the skin. With ongoing treatments, you’ll notice clearer, smoother, and more even-toned skin, giving you a fresh, revitalized complexion year-round.

Facial Treatments FAQs

Will I need to take time off work after having a chemical peel?

The downtime after an AlumierMD chemical peel can vary depending on the type and strength of the peel, as well as individual skin sensitivity. AlumierMD offers a range of chemical peels, and your skincare professional will customize the peel based on your skin type, concerns, and desired outcomes. In general, the downtime for lighter or superficial peels is typically minimal, and you may not need to take time off work. You might experience some redness, mild flaking, or peeling in the days following the treatment, but these effects are usually manageable and can be concealed with makeup.

Will I be bright red for days after my chemical peel?

For lighter or superficial peels, the redness is typically mild, and many individuals do not experience significant downtime. You might notice some redness immediately after the peel, but it often subsides within a few hours to a day. Makeup can usually be applied to conceal any residual redness. It’s worth noting that any redness or peeling is often temporary, and the skin usually undergoes a rejuvenation process, resulting in a refreshed and improved appearance once the healing is complete.

How many chemical peel treatments will I need?

The number of AlumierMD chemical peel treatments you may need can vary based on your specific skin concerns, goals, and the type of peel recommended by your skincare professional. Some individuals may see improvements in their skin after just one treatment, while others may benefit from a series of peels for more significant and lasting results.

Here are the contraindications for an AlumierMD chemical peel:
  1. Active Cold Sores or Herpes Simplex: If you have an active outbreak, chemical peels may aggravate the condition.
  2. Recent Sunburn or Sun Exposure: Peels should not be performed on sunburned or overly tanned skin, as this can increase the risk of irritation and damage.
  3. Pregnancy or Breastfeeding: Some chemical peel ingredients may not be safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding, so it’s advisable to avoid peels during this time.
  4. Recent Use of Accutane (Isotretinoin): You should avoid chemical peels if you’ve used Accutane in the last 6 to 12 months, as it can make the skin more sensitive and prone to adverse reactions.
  5. Open Wounds, Cuts, or Infections on the Treatment Area: Chemical peels should not be applied to skin with open wounds or infections, as this can lead to further irritation or complications.
  6. Recent Chemical Peel or Laser Treatment: If you’ve had a peel or laser treatment within the last two to four weeks, it’s best to wait before having another peel to avoid over-exfoliation.
  7. Allergies to Peel Ingredients: If you have known allergies to any of the ingredients in the AlumierMD peel, the treatment should be avoided.
  8. Active Acne Breakouts (Cystic Acne): Severe or cystic acne may require a different approach before chemical peels can be considered safe.
  9. Autoimmune Disorders Affecting the Skin: Conditions such as lupus or psoriasis can make the skin more reactive to peels, so a consultation is necessary to determine if it’s safe.
  10. Use of Retinol or Retinoids: If you’ve been using retinol or prescription retinoids, you should discontinue use 5 to 7 days before the peel, as these products increase skin sensitivity.

Always discuss your medical history with your practitioner to ensure a peel is safe for you.
