Chemical Peels | Calgary | Remington Laser

Renew Your Skin with Deeper Exfoliation

Chemical peels are designed to deeply exfoliate to restore your skin’s natural glow. This revitalizing treatment is formulated to remove dead skin cells and encourage quick replenishment of new cells. The skin underneath can be brighter and smoother, untouched by daily elements that compromise our skin’s barrier, such as the sun, makeup, and pollution.

By stimulating new tissue growth, we can enhance your skin’s texture and tone. Over time, you can also notice a gradual reduction in acne breakouts, hyperpigmentation, or scarring.

Types of Chemical Peels

There are different types and strengths of peels, including:

Superficial (Light) Peels: These use mild acids like alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) to gently exfoliate and help reduce fine lines, acne, uneven skin tone, and dryness.
Medium Peels: Glycolic or trichloroacetic acid is used to penetrate deeper into the skin. This peel can help treat early signs of aging, such as fine lines, uneven skin tone or texture, and sun damage.

The depth of the peel directly impacts the required recovery time and intervals between treatments. Your provider will assess your skincare goals and recommend an appropriate option.

Chemical Peel Guidelines: Do’s & Don’ts

When it comes to chemical peels, following appropriate guidelines can help you improve your treatment experience and results. During your pre-treatment consultation, we’ll discuss your medical and skincare history to personalize our preparation and treatment recommendations.

These guidelines aren’t just about enhancing your results—it’s also about helping your skin stay healthy and complication-free. Your skin’s safety is our top priority, so don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about pre-peel preparation.

Here are a few guidelines you should keep in mind.

Start Pepping Early: About a week before your treatment, start using a mild cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen. This routine will help prime your skin for the peel.

Avoid Skin Irritants: Products with retinol, benzoyl peroxide, AHA, BHA, or other exfoliating agents should be avoided 5–7 days before your treatment. These products can irritate your skin prior to the peel.

Keep Hydrated: Drink plenty of water leading up to your treatment. Hydrated skin can respond better to chemical peels.

Skip Sunscreen: Avoid sun exposure and tanning beds at least 2 weeks prior to your treatment. Sunburned or tanned skin can react negatively to the peel.

Schedule Other Treatments: Avoid hair removal, microdermabrasion, injectables, and laser treatments. These can increase skin sensitivity and should be avoided the week before your treatment.

Forget to Share Your History: Before treatment, we’ll review your medical and skincare history so we can take precautions to protect your skin. If you are lactating, pregnant, or may be pregnant, consult your physician before undergoing any treatment.

What to Expect After Your Chemical Peel

After your treatment, you might notice redness, which usually fades within 1–12 hours. While your skin won’t “peel” deeply, you might experience light to moderate flaking in localized areas, which typically lasts 3–7 days.

The night of your treatment, you may feel a slight tightening sensation and dryness. We recommend skipping applying makeup. However, if necessary, you may use mineral makeup.

Let your skin stabilize and rest overnight. Avoid washing your face and any activites where your face may become wet, as this could re-active that chemical peel and cause a chemical burn.

Remember to keep your skin hydrated, as this facilitates healing and helps control any flaking.

How Often Can You Repeat Chemical Peel Treatments?

Light peels can be repeated every 1–4 weeks until you get the look you want.
Medium-depth peels can be done again every 6–12 months if needed.

What Our Patients Say

My experience with Remington Laser has been nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I was referred by my family doctor, I knew I was in good hands. My initial apprehension about my daughter’s ear damage was quickly dispelled when we met Dr. Remington and his team. Dr. Remington’s transparency and honest approach stood out to me as a leader and innovator. Thanks to his laser techniques, my daughter’s ear damage was repaired painlessly, and she can now wear earrings without any issue. No one would ever know that at one stage she had a tear and I worried she would never be able to wear earrings again.

Nicole

I first met Dr. Kent Remington after several other doctors were unable to resolve my medical issue. When I arrived at Remington Laser, Dr. R and Pam took their time to understand the problem and my health history. Dr. R never gave up and, with constant kindness and expertise, he resolved the issue that others could not. That was 7 years ago. Since that time, I have had cosmetic procedures with Dr. R and Pam. They provide excellent advice and solutions and only use the best quality “tools and equipment” in their practice. Combined with their unparalleled skills and ability to find the right solution for me, they keep me feeling my very best. There is always a warm welcome from the entire team from the moment I arrive at the front desk. My heartfelt thanks to all at Remington Laser from your grateful and happy patient.

Dr. Kent Remington and Nurse Pam have been so positive with their guidance in my dermatological cosmetic journey so far. My last visit was life-changing, and I feel blessed to have these wonderful professionals in my life. I am over the moon with how I look. Thank you both for your expertise and personable approach!!!
