Professional Facial Peels Oxford

See Real Changes After One Treatment

Your skin tells a story you might not want to share. Dark spots from old breakouts, fine lines that seem to appear overnight, uneven tone that makeup can’t quite cover. Chemical peels change that narrative by removing damaged surface layers and revealing the healthier skin underneath.

You’ll notice smoother texture within days. Those stubborn acne scars start fading. Sun damage becomes less obvious. Your complexion looks brighter, more even, younger. The confidence that comes with clear skin? That’s immediate.

This isn’t about perfection – it’s about giving you skin that feels like yours again. Skin that doesn’t require explanation or apology.

Chemical Peel Process Oxford

Your Path to Better Skin

First, we analyze your skin during a free consultation. Not a sales pitch – a real assessment of what your skin needs and what results you can expect. We discuss your concerns, examine problem areas, and determine which type of peel will work best for your skin type and goals.

Next, we prepare your skin with a gentle cleanse and apply the customized chemical solution. The peel works by removing damaged surface layers, allowing fresh, healthy skin to emerge. Depending on the peel depth, you might experience mild tingling – that’s the solution working.

After treatment, we provide specific aftercare instructions to optimize your results and protect your new skin. Most people see improvement within a week, with continued enhancement over the following months as collagen production increases.

VI Peel Glycolic Acid Oxford

Multiple Peel Options for Every Concern

We offer several types of chemical peels to address different skin concerns and sensitivity levels. Light peels using glycolic or salicylic acid work well for acne, mild sun damage, and overall skin refreshing with minimal downtime. These are perfect for Oxford residents with busy schedules who need results without disruption.

Medium-depth peels, including VI Peels, target deeper concerns like stubborn hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, and more significant sun damage. These require a few days of peeling but deliver more dramatic improvements in skin tone and texture.

For Oxford’s climate and lifestyle, we often recommend a series of lighter peels rather than one aggressive treatment. This approach gives you consistent improvement while fitting into your routine. North Carolina’s sun exposure makes ongoing professional care especially important for maintaining results.

How long does it take to see results from a chemical peel?

Most people notice smoother, brighter skin within 3-7 days after their chemical peel. The initial peeling process typically lasts 3-5 days, revealing fresh skin underneath. However, the full benefits continue developing for several weeks as your skin generates new collagen. For concerns like acne scars or deeper hyperpigmentation, you’ll see gradual improvement over 2-3 months. Many clients report that others start commenting on their improved skin within two weeks of treatment.

Are chemical peels safe for all skin types and tones?

Chemical peels can be safely performed on most skin types when done by an experienced professional. However, darker skin tones require special consideration to prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This is why choosing a qualified esthetician matters. At Wake Skincare, we assess your skin type, medical history, and specific concerns before recommending any treatment. We use different peel formulations and techniques based on your individual needs. Some clients with very sensitive skin or certain medical conditions may not be candidates for chemical peels.

What's the difference between a VI Peel and glycolic acid peel?

A glycolic acid peel is typically lighter and focuses on surface-level concerns like mild acne, dullness, and fine texture issues. It’s derived from sugar cane and provides gentle exfoliation with minimal downtime. Most people can return to normal activities immediately. VI Peels are medium-depth treatments that combine multiple acids to address deeper concerns like stubborn pigmentation, acne scarring, and sun damage. They require 5-7 days of visible peeling but deliver more dramatic results. VI Peels are particularly effective for treating melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

How should I prepare my skin before a chemical peel?

We typically recommend stopping certain skincare ingredients 3-7 days before your peel, including retinoids, exfoliating acids, and vitamin C serums. These can increase sensitivity and interfere with the peel’s effectiveness. We’ll provide specific pre-treatment instructions during your consultation. Avoid sun exposure and tanning for at least two weeks before treatment. If you have a history of cold sores, we may recommend antiviral medication as peels can trigger outbreaks. Don’t wax, use depilatory creams, or have other facial treatments for one week prior.

What can I expect during the recovery process?

Light peels typically cause mild redness and slight flaking for 2-3 days, similar to a sunburn. You can wear makeup the next day and continue most normal activities. Medium peels like VI Peels cause more noticeable peeling that lasts 5-7 days. During recovery, your skin will be more sensitive to sun exposure, so strict sunscreen use is essential. Avoid picking at peeling skin, as this can cause scarring or hyperpigmentation. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and products to ensure optimal healing and results.

How often should I get chemical peels for best results?

For maintenance and mild concerns, light peels can be done every 4-6 weeks. This schedule works well for ongoing acne management or general skin refreshing. Medium peels are typically spaced 3-4 months apart to allow complete healing and collagen remodeling. Many clients start with a series of 3-4 peels spaced 4-6 weeks apart to address specific concerns, then transition to maintenance treatments every 3-6 months. Your individual skin response and goals determine the optimal frequency. We’ll create a customized treatment plan during your consultation.
