Chemical Peel Facial

Facial Chemical Peels are high-quality skin peeling treatment designed to exfoliate and even out the texture of your skin.  The chemicals stimulate regeneration of new tissue growth by inducing a controlled injury to the epidermis so that dead skin eventually sloughs off.

This technique is known for reducing facial scarring, minimizing sun damage, pigmentation, and smoothing imperfections such as acne scars. These facial peels have other benefits include minimizing wrinkles, lifting skin, and reducing pore size.

We recommend multiple chemical peeling treatments for best results, but typical clients will see immediate improvement after their first treatment. There are several types of chemical peels that we offer at BOHO Med Spa and our experienced estheticians will recommend the best one for your skin type. If you have any questions, please call.

My face is itchy, swelling, or burning, what do I do?

  1. Itching can occur due to new skin cells forming. NO NOT SCRATCH! Scratching will irritate your skin even more.  Pat the itching area instead with something clean that is soft or cool. 
  2. Burning can happen due to having no barrier on your brand new skin. It is common for sensitivity to occur at this time. Keep your skin protected and out of direct sunlight.
  3. Applying more post peel balm will soothe itching and burning sensation. 

Swelling- Swelling can occur.  Cooling your skin with a cold compress will decrease swelling. If that does not provide you relief, take a Benadryl or similar and contact us at spa so we can help you as you might be experiencing some type of reaction.

Is it normal for my pigmentation to turn darker?

Yes!  Deeper pigmentation can rise to the surface of skin causing current pigmentation to get darker. Fear not! The pigmentation will peel away leaving your skin pigmentation free!
