24 Mar Prepare Your Skin for Summer with Chemical Peels at RefinedMD
As summer approaches, achieving radiant and healthy skin becomes a priority for many. At RefinedMD, we offer a variety of chemical peels designed to rejuvenate your complexion and prepare your skin for the sunny season. Understanding the benefits of each peel can help you select the most suitable treatment to achieve a summer-ready glow.
Chemical peels are non-invasive treatments that exfoliate the skin by removing its outermost layers, revealing fresher, smoother skin beneath. They address various skin concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and uneven texture. By promoting new cell growth, chemical peels enhance skin clarity and brightness, making them an excellent option for seasonal skin rejuvenation.
Chemical Peels Offered at RefinedMD
At RefinedMD, we provide a range of chemical peels tailored to different skin types and concerns. Here are some of our featured treatments:
- Cosmelan Peel. This peel is a leading depigmentation treatment designed to reduce brown spots and hyperpigmentation. This peel is effective for conditions such as melasma, acne scarring, and signs of aging. The procedure involves a 30-minute in-office application of a specialized mask, which remains on the skin for 8 to 12 hours. Post-treatment, some redness may occur for 1 to 2 weeks, so it’s advisable to plan accordingly. Most clients can resume wearing makeup 72 hours after the peel, and noticeable improvements continue in the weeks following treatment. For optimal results, adherence to the recommended at-home care regimen is essential.
- The Perfect Peel. This is an excellent choice for individuals familiar with lighter peels and those actively engaged in a skin care regimen. This medium-depth peel addresses concerns such as acne, hyperpigmentation, and melasma. Its formulation includes salicylic acid, vitamin C, phenol, TCA, retinoic acid, glutathione, and kojic acid. The treatment results in lighter, brighter skin with reduced pore size and enhanced collagen production.
- Glycolic Acid Peel. Glycolic acid peels are superficial peels that utilize alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) to exfoliate the skin gently. They are suitable for first-time peel users and can improve skin texture and tone with minimal downtime. These peels are effective in addressing fine lines, mild hyperpigmentation, and acne.
Many people associate chemical peels with the old-school deep peels that required weeks of recovery and made sun exposure nearly impossible. However, the modern chemical peels at RefinedMD are customizable, more gentle, and designed for year-round use—including in the summer. Unlike traditional deep peels that aggressively remove multiple layers of skin, today’s formulations—such as the Cosmelan Peel, The Perfect Peel, and glycolic acid peels—work at varying depths to resurface and refresh the skin without excessive peeling or prolonged downtime.
Our peels focus on gradual, controlled exfoliation, which means you can achieve brighter, smoother skin while maintaining your daily routine. With proper post-treatment care, including sunscreen and hydration, these peels can safely prepare your skin for summer without the risks that older, harsher peels once carried.
Preparing Your Skin for Summer with Chemical Peels
Undergoing a chemical peel in the spring can effectively prepare your skin for summer by addressing issues such as dullness, uneven tone, and hyperpigmentation. By removing dead skin cells and promoting new cell growth, chemical peels enhance the skin’s natural radiance. It’s essential to follow post-peel care instructions diligently, including the regular application of broad-spectrum sunscreen, to protect the newly revealed skin from sun exposure.
The results of a professional chemical peel don’t end when you leave the treatment room—at-home medical-grade skin care plays a crucial role in extending and enhancing the benefits of your peel. After exfoliating away dead skin cells and stimulating cell turnover, the skin is in an optimal state to absorb high-quality active ingredients from products like antioxidants, hydrating serums, and retinoids. Using medical-grade skin care tailored to your skin type can help prolong brightness, maintain even tone, and strengthen the skin barrier to prevent irritation or breakouts.
Ingredients like hyaluronic acid and ceramides help restore hydration, while vitamin C and peptides support collagen production and protect against environmental stressors. A broad-spectrum sunscreen is especially important post-peel, as new skin is more susceptible to UV damage. By combining in-office treatments with a customized at-home regimen, you ensure longer-lasting, more effective results, keeping your skin smooth, clear, and glowing for weeks after your peel.
At RefinedMD, our team of experienced professionals is dedicated to providing personalized skin care solutions. We assess your skin type and concerns to recommend the most suitable chemical peel, ensuring optimal results.
