Chemical Peels in Canton

In Canton, Vital Balance 10 uses chemical peels to restore your complexion. The Perfect Derma Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel. The powerful ingredients work hard to penetrate the skin, removing targeted areas of the upper layers of skin (epidermis) and the middle layer of skin (dermis).

The controlled chemical application makes your body believe it has experienced injury, which triggers your natural healing response. Your skin will begin to shed dead skin cells and produce new, healthier cells. In addition, your skin increases natural collagen and elastin production to promote stronger, smoother skin.

At Vital Balance 10, we use the Perfect Derma chemical peel. It is a special formulation of medical-grade ingredients that provides benefits to your complexion and renews your glow. The Perfect Derma chemical peel comprises:

• Trichloroacetic acid (TCA): Exfoliates, removes dead skin cells, and encourages new cell growth
• Retinoic acid: Exfoliates and stimulates cellular renewal
• Salicylic acid: Exfoliates and reduces bacteria from acne
• Kojic acid: Exfoliates and brightens the skin
• Phenol: Exfoliates and serves as a numbing agent
• Vitamin C: Stimulates collagen production
• Glutathione: Stimulates collagen production and provides anti-aging benefits

The Perfect Derma chemical peel is the only peel on the market that contains glutathione, which is known as a primary antioxidant. Glutathione penetrates the deep layers of the skin to promote brightness, slow down the aging process, and eliminate toxins.

The Perfect Derma chemical peel works by removing damaged layers of skin. When you come to Vital Balance 10 for chemical peels in Canton, you can experience benefits, such as:

• Improved skin tone and texture: The exfoliating chemicals shed layers of skin, resulting in a softer, brighter skin surface.
• Reduced hyperpigmentation: Removing layers of dead skin can reduce the appearance of dark spots, sunspots, or age spots.
• Softened fine lines and wrinkles: Increased collagen and elastin production reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
• Controlled acne and reduced acne scars: Glutathione stimulates cell turnover to help clear acne and improve the appearance of acne scars.
• Smaller pores: The exfoliants clean up excess oils and dead skin cells that clog pores.
• Overall healthier, younger-looking skin: The curated ingredients help your skin remove dead skin cells and increase collagen and elastin production for a rejuvenated look! 

Those who are looking for a more radiant complexion are great candidates for chemical peels. In Canton, at VB10, we prioritize understanding your skin health to confirm that a chemical peel is the right treatment for you. We ask questions during your consultation to understand your skin health and medical history, including medication use.

To receive a chemical peel, you must have a healthy skin barrier. This means you do not have any active infections, open wounds, or compromised skin. We also ensure you do not have hypersensitive skin and are not at risk of keloid scarring.

If you have had any recent facial procedures or are on certain medications, you may need to wait until the appropriate time has passed to receive a chemical peel.

• Wait 1 week after Botox or filler
• Wait 4 to 6 weeks after a microneedling or laser treatment
• Wait 6 months after taking Accutane

If you are currently using retinoids, tretinoin, or strong exfoliants, speak with our team, and we will tell you when to discontinue use.

Preparing yourself for the treatment includes understanding the healing process. Know that you may experience skin peeling and some minor discomfort.

If a chemical peel is not the right treatment to address your skin concerns, our talented nurses will guide you towards a more suitable option!

Our team of experts will explain how to properly care for your skin after your chemical peel. When we provide chemical peels in Canton, we send you home with a curated skincare kit to enhance your results and boost the healing process. After your peel, follow these instructions:

• Refrain from touching or removing any leftover product from the face for 6 hours. The chemicals need time to work into your skin for maximum effect. During this time, avoid any rubbing or scratching of the face, and do not apply makeup.
• Use the towelettes we send home with you to cleanse the skin the day after your treatment. Gently wash (no scrubbing!) the face and use the Post Peel towelettes morning and night. Let the towlette solution absorb into the skin for at least 50 minutes before applying SPF or moisturizer.
• Apply moisturizer if you feel irritation or if your skin is dry and tight. Your skincare kit will include the appropriate moisturizer to use.
• Stay out of the sun and avoid going outdoors for a few weeks. Your skin is delicate after the chemical peel, so keeping it out of the sun reduces the risk of sunburn and other irritants. If you need to step outside, apply an SPF of 30 or higher to protect your skin.
• Avoid heat and sweating, which can affect your skin’s healing process by irritating it. This means no intense workouts, saunas, hot tubs, or baths.
• Avoid intentionally picking at the skin. Your skin is going to peel; that’s the whole point! The peeling process should happen naturally, though, not by force. Picking or peeling the shedding skin can cause scarring and interrupt the healing process.

In order to see and feel all the benefits from our chemical peels in Canton, follow the instructions our team provides you. They are not just precautionary. They ensure that your chemical peel is effective and renews your complexion.

The peeling process for a chemical peel happens over a 7-day period, from initial treatment to seeing results. Over the course of 1 week, patients experience peeling and some tenderness of the skin. Here is what to expect:

• Day 1: The day you receive your chemical peel is day 1. You may experience redness, mild swelling, and tight skin as your skin reacts to the chemicals.
• Day 2: You should begin the recommended skincare routine and apply SPF if you need to go outside.
• Days 3 to 6: The third day is generally when peeling begins. Continue with the recommended skincare regimen and apply moisturizer to eliminate tightness and control the peeling.
• Day 7: Peeling should subside as you begin to see the results of the chemical peel.

By following all instructions given to you by your provider, your skin can have a renewed, youthful appearance. And as a reminder, allow the peeling to happen naturally.

You can apply makeup the day after your treatment! We recommend waiting at least 24 hours to allow your skin to heal properly without irritation. The chemical peel needs to sit on your skin for the first day, but after that, you are in the clear to wear makeup.

To see the results of a chemical peel, you only need 1 treatment. However, natural aging, the sun, and other irritants can continue to affect the skin. We recommend scheduling an appointment every 3 to 6 months to keep up with the toll life can take on the skin.
