“Every time I come in I’m treated like a queen. It is definitely a luxury place. I love coming here they make you feel like royalty. I use to have really bad scar acne and now they are gone. I love Dr. Awada she takes good care of you and takes her time.” -Linda S.
A chemical peel is a non-invasive skincare treatment that can reveal radiant skin and diminish the appearance of acne scars, aging, sun-damage, and more, and requires little to no downtime. This treatment can be done once or repeated for optimal results.
Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is the active agent in the chemical peel solution that is then applied to the skin, and causes the top layer to peel off. The new layer of skin that is revealed, allows you to enjoy improved texture and tone. Your desired results and your skin tone will determine the amount of acid used:
Those with lighter skin tones can benefit from both superficial and medium depth peels, however, those with darker tones must use caution: deeper peels can cause scarring and problems with pigmentation.
Chemical peels are a common treatment option that has been used since 1882. Most patients experience temporary discomfort after their treatment, such as:
These side effects usually resolve within days or weeks of treatment as your face peels. If you pull unready-to-peel skin off your face or a deep peel is applied incorrectly, you may experience scarring, hypopigmentation or hyperpigmentation, especially in clients with darker skin.

A chemical peel allows you the opportunity to unveil radiant skin and say goodbye to acne scars, dark spots, sun damage, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and more. Learn more about this effective treatment that can address your complexion concerns.
This non-invasive skincare treatment is safe to use for most people and has been utilized to achieve a renewed complexion since 1882. What first began as an offering by a German dermatologist, has now become a common cosmetic treatment that allows you to achieve radiant skin.
There are many types of acid used in skin care products and treatments, however, for our chemical peels, Dr. Beauty utilizes the powers of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and a solution of water, 10 to 35 percent, and sometimes, up to 50 percent TCA is applied.
Both types of peels utilize the powers of acids such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and alpha hydroxyl acid, but offer different levels of results.
The best place to start when explaining the difference between at-home treatments and those offered at our med spa is the strength of the peel. At home peels are less powerful; they will only affect the most superficial layers of skin. At-home peels can address minor skin issues.
Professional peels are composed of prescription-strength peeling solutions. Because of these high concentrations, peels offered at your local med spa can target deeper complexion issues and offer more dramatic results than at home peels.
A chemical peel at our med spa, also provides the chance for customizing your peel formula. Due to skin type, skin sensitivity, as well as the desired results, a customized peel can provide you so much more than one found at your local beauty store. Also, when you opt for over-the-counter formulas, there is a greater chance to choose the wrong peel that may ultimately, irritate your skin.
For most people, our answer is a resounding yes! A chemical peel offers many advantages, however, your skin tone can affect the type of peel used and your results. Those with lighter skin tones have the optimal complexion for superficial to deeper treatments; those with dark skin tones, benefit from less deep treatments as a solution with higher acidity can negatively affect pigmentation.
A variety of acids can be used to achieve desired results: glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and alpha hydroxyl acid, however, our med spa utilizes the power of trichloroacetic acid (TCA). We dilute TCA in a solution of water with 10 to 35 percent, and up to 50 percent acid.
Chemical peels are extremely safe, however, like any cosmetic treatment, to get the best results, you must follow all pre- and post-treatment instructions and have your peel applied by a trusted med spa professional. Using the right proportions of water to acid during your treatment is crucial for your procedure’s success, the health of your skin, and your safety.
