Chemical Peels

Chemical Peels at Grove and Kane are an easy way to achieve and maintain optimal skin health.

What are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are specialized solutions containing acids, antioxidants and brighteners which are designed to gently peel away the upper layers of skin. These targeted ingredients and deep exfoliation drive results which start to be revealed starting one week after treatment.

What kinds of skin benefit from Chemical Peels?

Every single chemical peel treatment at Grove and Kane is customized by your esthetician. This means that we can cater your treatment to match your skin’s needs exactly. All skin and skin conditions can benefit from a chemical peel including the following: 

• Hyperpigmented/sundamaged skin

• Melasma

• Aging/wrinkling

• Rosacea and redness concerns

• Acne and acne scarring

• Sensitive skin

What are the Benefits of Chemical Peels?

We use clinically-tested chemical peels from PCA Skin and Face Reality Skincare to drive results! Some of the benefits of peels include: 

• Fading and reducing all kinds of hyperpigmentation

• Stimulating collagen production to plump fine lines and wrinkles

• Strengthening skin barrier to reduce redness 

• Preventing and reducing acne breakouts

• Smoothing skin texture to reduce dullness and reveal brighter skin

• Removing dead skin cells to allow the better absorption of skincare products at home

What to Expect During Treatment

Our chemical peels are applied at the end of your treatment. You will feel some slight tingling and warmth, which is expected. You will communicate with your esthetician about the level of sensation you are feeling, which will guide the treatment. You may notice some heat and sensation for up to 30 minutes after your treatment, and redness is also expected.

Chemical Peel Aftercare

Your esthetician will give you instructions for taking care of your skin post-treatment. You will be using a basic cleanser, moisturizer and SPF for 5 days. Redness and slight sensitivity is expected post-treatment as your skin heals and regenerates. Sometimes aftercare products can sting a little bit, and itchiness is also a common side effect as skin cells start to shed 1-2 days after treatment. 

You may or you may not see peeling and flaking: either way, it doesn’t matter! Flaking and visible peeling is more of a side effect rather than the goal. You are still shedding millions of skin cells on a cellular level that is invisible to the naked eye. 

Keeping your skin topically hydrated with moisturizers is the most important aspect to a successful chemical peel.  Using your common-sense sun precautions (reapply SPF and wear hats) is important as well to make sure you’re not back-tracking on your skin goals.
