What are Facials and Chemical Peels?

Facials and chemical peels are specialized skin treatments designed to rejuvenate and enhance the complexion. Facials typically involve cleansing, exfoliation, hydration, and targeted treatments to nourish the skin, promoting a healthy and refreshed appearance. They help maintain skin balance, improve texture, and support overall skin health.

Chemical peels, on the other hand, use exfoliating acids to remove dead or damaged skin cells, stimulating cellular turnover and encouraging the regeneration of new, healthy skin. This process enhances the absorption of skincare products while leaving the skin smoother and more radiant. A chemical peel can effectively address concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and uneven skin tone, making it a powerful option for skin renewal.

Incorporating both facials and chemical peels into your skincare routine can help maintain a youthful, vibrant complexion while targeting specific skin concerns for long-term skin health.

Benefits of Facials and Peels

Embracing the transformative power of facials and chemical peels can lead to significant improvements in your skin's health and appearance. Whether you're struggling with signs of aging, uneven tone, or persistent breakouts, our expertly crafted facials and peels provide a comprehensive solution to these common skin concerns. At Youthful You Aesthetics, we harness the natural rejuvenating capabilities of facials and peels to help you achieve a radiant, youthfully glowing complexion.

Improves Skin Texture

Facials and peels gently exfoliate the surface layers of the skin, removing rough patches and dead cells. This process unveils a newer, softer layer of skin beneath and results in a smoother texture that feels velvety to the touch.
Reduces Signs of Aging

Our facials and peels are designed to penetrate the skin and stimulate collagen production, an essential protein that maintains skin elasticity and firmness. By promoting collagen synthesis, these treatments help diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, giving you a more youthful and rejuvenated look.
Evens Skin Tone

Regular facials and peels target areas of discoloration by breaking down excess melanin, the pigment responsible for dark spots and uneven tone. As the skin regenerates, you'll notice a more even and harmonious complexion free from the shadows of age spots or sun damage.
Boosts Radiance

The increased cellular turnover facilitated by facials and peels not only renews your skin but also unveils its inner radiance. By removing dull, tired skin cells and facilitating the growth of fresh ones, facials and peels help you achieve a clearer, more vibrant glow that reflects your inner beauty.
Prevents Breakouts

By deeply cleansing the pores and removing impurities that cause acne, our facials and peel treatments help to maintain clear and blemish-free skin. Consistent use can reduce the frequency of breakouts, keeping your complexion flawless and your confidence high.

FAQs About Facials and Peels

Curious about facials and chemical peels? Here are answers to some of the most common questions to help you understand their benefits, how they work, and which treatment may be best for your skin.

What should I expect during and after a facial or chemical peel treatment?

During a facial or chemical peel treatment at Youthful You Aesthetics, you will receive a thorough consultation with one of our experienced aestheticians, who will assess your skin type and discuss your specific concerns. A facial typically includes deep cleansing, gentle exfoliation, extractions (if needed), and hydration to nourish and revitalize your skin, leaving it refreshed and glowing. For a chemical peel, a specialized acidic solution is applied to exfoliate the surface layers of the skin, stimulating cell turnover. You may experience a mild tingling sensation during the peel, which is normal and indicates the treatment is working. Afterward, your skin may feel sensitive or appear slightly red for a few days. As it heals, you may notice light peeling or flaking, revealing a smoother, more radiant complexion. Regardless of the treatment, proper post-care is essential—hydrating the skin, avoiding direct sun exposure, and applying SPF regularly will help maintain your results and protect your skin’s health.
Are chemical peels safe for all skin types?

Yes, chemical peels at Youthful You Aesthetics are designed to be safe for all skin types. Our skilled aestheticians tailor each facial peel treatment to accommodate a variety of skin conditions and tones. Before proceeding with a face peel, a comprehensive skin assessment is conducted to identify your skin type and any specific issues you may have, such as sensitivity, acne, or pigmentation. This ensures that the peel formula and its strength are precisely adjusted to your individual needs. While chemical peels are generally safe, some individuals may experience minor irritation or sensitivity, especially after their first treatment. To minimize these effects, we recommend following the pre- and post-care guidelines provided by our specialists. By choosing the right type of peel and adhering to the recommended skincare regimen, clients of all skin types can achieve beautiful, revitalizing results.
How often should I get a facial or a chemical peel?

The frequency of facials and chemical peels depends on various factors, including your skin type, specific concerns, and the type of facial or peel used. At Youthful You Aesthetics, our aestheticians will assess your skin and recommend a personalized facial or peel schedule. For mild facials, such as our Glow or Brighten & Restore Facial, you can generally receive treatments every 4 to 6 weeks. These facials gently exfoliate the skin and are safe for more frequent application to maintain a radiant complexion. Medium-depth peels, like the Professional Peel, may be spaced 6 to 8 weeks apart, depending on your skin’s sensitivity and recovery rate. Deep peels or more intensive facial treatments are conducted less frequently, perhaps every few months, to allow ample time for the skin to fully heal and renew. Adapting the frequency of facials or peels to your unique skincare needs ensures that you achieve the best possible results without compromising your skin’s health and integrity.
How do I prepare for a facial or chemical peel session?

Proper preparation is key to maximizing the benefits of a facial or chemical peel. At Youthful You Aesthetics, we provide clients with detailed pre-treatment guidelines to ensure optimal results. In the week leading up to your appointment, it’s advisable to avoid exfoliating products, retinoids, and treatments that might increase skin sensitivity, such as waxing or laser procedures. Maintaining a gentle skincare routine with hydrating cleansers and moisturizers will help in balancing your skin’s hydration levels. On the day of your facial or peel, arrive with a fresh, clean face and avoid applying makeup or sunscreen. If you’re on any specific medications or undergoing any treatments, communicate this to your aesthetician during the initial consultation. By following these preparation steps, you help ensure that your skin is in the best possible condition to receive the facial or peel, allowing for a successful treatment with optimal exfoliation and rejuvenation results.

Pre & Post-Care

Pre-Care Facials and Peels
To ensure your skin is optimally prepared for a facial or chemical peel, follow these essential pre-care steps:

Proper post-care is crucial for protecting your newly rejuvenated skin and enhancing the results of your facial or chemical peel:

Apply a gentle, hydrating moisturizer regularly to soothe your skin and maintain hydration.
Avoid direct sunlight and consistently use a broad-spectrum SPF to protect new skin layers.
Refrain from using active skincare products such as retinoids and avoid further exfoliation until full recovery, typically about a week.
