Frequently Asked Questions

What is a chemical peel?

A chemical peel is a skin resurfacing treatment that uses chemical solutions to remove damaged outer layers of skin, revealing smoother, more youthful skin beneath. At Purefico MedSpa in Cornelius, NC, we offer light, medium, and deep chemical peels to treat wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, uneven pigmentation, and improve overall skin texture and tone.

What types of chemical peels do you offer?

We offer light peels (glycolic acid, salicylic acid) for mild concerns with no downtime, medium peels (TCA) for moderate sun damage and wrinkles with 3-7 days downtime, and deep peels (phenol) for severe aging and scars with 7-14 days downtime. Our Lake Norman area patients choose the peel depth based on their skin concerns, goals, and available recovery time.

How does a chemical peel work?

Chemical peels work by applying a chemical solution that causes controlled damage to the skin, triggering the body's healing response. The damaged skin peels away over several days, revealing fresh, regenerated skin with improved texture, tone, and fewer imperfections. The depth of the peel determines how many skin layers are removed and the dramatic nature of results.

Is a chemical peel painful?

Light chemical peels cause minimal discomfort, often described as mild tingling or stinging. Medium peels may cause moderate burning sensation during application, which subsides quickly. Deep peels are performed with sedation for comfort. At Purefico MedSpa, we use cooling techniques and appropriate anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure.

How many chemical peel treatments do I need?

Light chemical peels typically require 4-6 treatments spaced 2-4 weeks apart for optimal results. Medium peels often provide significant improvement with 1-2 treatments. Deep peels usually require only one treatment for dramatic results. Your personalized treatment plan at Purefico MedSpa depends on your skin concerns, goals, and desired downtime.

When will I see chemical peel results?

Light peel results appear within 1-7 days as skin brightens and texture improves. Medium peel results develop over 7-14 days as peeling completes and new skin emerges. Deep peel results are visible at 2-3 weeks with continued improvement over 3-6 months as collagen production increases. Optimal results require completing your recommended treatment series.

What is the downtime after a chemical peel?

Light peels have minimal to no downtime with possible mild flaking for 2-3 days. Medium peels require 3-7 days of peeling and redness. Deep peels need 7-14 days of significant peeling, redness, and social downtime. At Purefico MedSpa in Cornelius, we provide detailed aftercare instructions and recommend sun protection during healing to optimize results.
