Customized to Your Complexion
Dullness
Removes accumulated surface cells and encourages skin renewal to reveal a fresher, more luminous-looking complexion.
Uneven Tone
Targeted treatments can improve areas of discoloration and help create a clearer, more uniform appearance.
Sun Damage
Helps address visible signs of accumulated sun exposure, including uneven pigmentation and changes in skin texture.
Fine Lines
Skin renewal can soften the appearance of superficial lines while improving the overall texture and quality of the skin.
Acne + Congestion
Select peel formulations can help clear surface buildup, reduce congestion, and improve the appearance of blemish-prone skin.
Acne Scarring
More corrective treatment options may help improve certain types of post-acne discoloration and superficial textural changes.
Rough Texture
Exfoliation removes accumulated surface cells to create a smoother, more refined skin surface.
Hyperpigmentation
Targeted peel options can address areas of excess pigment and uneven discoloration for greater clarity and a more balanced complexion.
The Treatment Process
Chemical peels use carefully selected acids and active ingredients to create controlled exfoliation at specific depths within the skin. As damaged surface cells shed and the skin renews, concerns such as discoloration, rough texture, congestion, and fine lines can become less visible.
Consultation
Your provider evaluates your skin, concerns, and goals to select the peel best suited to your needs.
Preparation
The skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepared before the selected peel solution is applied.
Peel Application
Your peel is carefully applied according to its specific protocol, with treatment time and intensity determined by the formulation being used.
Renewal + Recovery
In the days following treatment, the skin begins its renewal process. Depending on your peel, this may range from minimal flaking to more noticeable shedding before fresher-looking skin is revealed.
Introducing PRX: The "No-Peel, Peel"
PRX takes a different approach to skin renewal. This topical biorevitalization treatment works beneath the surface to stimulate the skin without the needles, significant peeling, or extended downtime associated with more intensive treatments.
With PRX Derm Perfexion and PRX PLUS, treatment can be tailored to improve skin quality, texture, firmness, and visible signs of aging while leaving the surface of the skin largely intact.
Common Questions
What is a chemical peel?
A chemical peel is a professional exfoliation treatment that uses a carefully selected solution to remove damaged surface cells and encourage skin renewal. Different formulations can address concerns including discoloration, acne, rough texture, dullness, and visible signs of aging.
Which chemical peel is right for me?
The right peel depends on your skin type, primary concerns, desired level of correction, and tolerance for downtime. Your Elara provider will evaluate your skin and recommend the most appropriate treatment.
Will my face peel?
It depends on the treatment selected. Some lighter peels may result in little more than mild dryness or flaking, while more corrective peels can cause several days of visible shedding.
When will I see results?
Improvements become more visible as the skin completes its post-treatment renewal process. Depending on the peel, skin may appear brighter, smoother, and more even once initial flaking or peeling has resolved.
How should I care for my skin after a chemical peel?
Gentle skincare, hydration, and consistent sun protection are especially important following a peel. Avoid picking or manually removing peeling skin, and follow the specific aftercare instructions provided by your Elara provider.
