How Chemical Peels Transform Skin

Uneven skin texture, fine lines, and discoloration can make skin appear dull and aged. Chemical peels have become one of the most effective treatments for addressing these concerns, providing noticeable improvements in smoothness, clarity, and overall skin tone. At Soul Aesthetics in Tulsa, we offer customized chemical peels designed to rejuvenate the face, neck, and hands, helping clients achieve radiant, youthful skin without invasive procedures.

What Are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels use specialized acid solutions to exfoliate the skin’s top layers, encouraging cell turnover and revealing a smoother, more even surface. By removing dead skin and stimulating collagen production, these treatments help reduce wrinkles, improve texture, and lighten hyperpigmentation.

Key Ingredients in Chemical Peels:

• Glycolic Acid – Targets fine lines and dullness
• Salicylic Acid – Ideal for acne-prone skin and clogged pores
• Lactic Acid – Hydrates while exfoliating for a radiant glow
• Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) – Used in deeper peels for more dramatic results

Types of Chemical Peels for Skin Texture

Not all chemical peels are the same. The right peel depends on your skin type, concerns, and desired results.

1. Light Peels

• Targets mild texture issues, discoloration, and dullness
• Uses mild acids like lactic or glycolic acid
• Little to no downtime, making it perfect for busy lifestyles

2. Medium Peels

• Addresses wrinkles, acne scars, and deeper pigmentation issues
• Typically includes TCA or a combination of acids
• Requires a few days of recovery, with peeling and flaking expected

3. Deep Peels

• Treats severe wrinkles, sun damage, and deep scars
• Uses stronger acids like phenol or high-strength TCA
• Requires longer recovery time but delivers dramatic skin rejuvenation

How Chemical Peels Improve the Face, Neck, and Hands

Chemical peels aren’t just for the face—they can effectively treat the neck and hands, two areas that often show early signs of aging.

Face: A Brighter, More Even Complexion

Regular facial peels help with:

• Smoothing rough skin texture
• Reducing wrinkles and fine lines
• Fading hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and sun damage
• Controlling breakouts and excess oil production

Neck: Targeting Wrinkles and Sun Damage

The delicate skin on the neck is prone to fine lines, sagging, and sunspots. Chemical peels can:

• Improve skin elasticity and firmness
• Reduce visible signs of aging
• Brighten uneven skin tone

Hands: Restoring Youthful Skin

• Since hands are constantly exposed to the elements, they tend to age faster than other areas. Chemical peels help by:
• Reducing age spots and discoloration
• Smoothing rough or crepey skin
• Improving hydration and softness

The Chemical Peel Process: What to Expect

A professional chemical peel follows a carefully controlled process to ensure safe, effective results.

1. Consultation and Skin Assessment

At Soul Aesthetics in Tulsa, we assess your skin type and concerns to determine the best peel for you.

2. Application of the Chemical Solution

• The skin is cleansed and prepped
• The peel solution is applied and left on for a specific time
• A neutralizer may be used, depending on the type of peel

3. Post-Peel Recovery and Aftercare

• Mild redness and peeling are expected in the days following treatment
• Sun exposure should be minimized
• Hydrating serums and SPF are essential for healing and maintenance

Chemical Peels Before and After: Real Results

• Patients who undergo regular chemical peels often experience:
• Smoother skin texture and fewer rough patches
• Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Brighter, more even skin tone with less discoloration
• Minimized pores and a clearer complexion

Are Chemical Peels Safe?

• When performed by a licensed aesthetic professional, chemical peels are generally safe and effective. However, some risks include:
• Redness or sensitivity post-treatment
• Temporary skin darkening (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation)
• Peeling and mild discomfort, especially with deeper peels

Enhancing Results: Combining Chemical Peels with Other Treatments

For even better results, chemical peels can be paired with treatments like:
🌿 Microneedling – Boosts collagen production and accelerates skin renewal
💧 Hydrating Facials – Helps replenish moisture post-peel
🧴 Medical-Grade Skincare – Supports long-term skin health and glow
