Chemical Peels
What Are Chemical Peels?
For the highest quality results from chemical peel treatments, Creating Beautiful Smiles provides you with several options. Your professional chemical peel with exfoliating solutions (such as salicylic, glycolic, trichloroacetic, and lactic acids) will give you smoother, healthier skin. At our Racine, WI office, our team offers chemical peel treatments that resolve skin flaws such as scars, fine lines, wrinkles, rough patches, hyperpigmentation issues, and more. Chemical peels work by removing dead, damaged skin cells by applying a special treatment on the skin that causes the visible layer to slough off. When your skin recovers and begins to repair and rejuvenate itself, you should see a smoother, clearer complexion. A chemical peel treatment is a nonsurgical option to make your complexion bright and may be used for the face, neck, and décollatage.
How Are Chemical Peels Performed?
During your procedure at Creating Beautiful Smiles, we will have you lying in a comfortable position to administer your peel. A team member will ensure the skin is cleaned before applying the personalized solution to your face and/or neck. We will spread the solution onto your face and let it set for an appropriate amount of time, which will be discussed in your chemical peel planning session. Next, we will wash the solution off your skin and put on a neutralizing agent. You should bring light sunscreen or a hat to wear outside after the treatment to avoid UV exposure.

Chemical peels at Creating Beautiful Smiles in Racine, WI help reveal smoother, clearer, and more youthful-looking skin by gently removing the damaged outer layers. This non-surgical treatment improves skin tone, texture, and radiance while addressing common concerns like wrinkles, discoloration, and blemishes.

You may begin to see improvement within a few days as your skin starts to shed and regenerate. Full results typically become more visible after 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the depth of the peel. Your skin will continue to improve over the next few weeks as collagen production increases and the complexion becomes more even and radiant.
Downtime varies depending on the strength of the peel. Light peels may cause mild redness and flaking for a day or two, while deeper peels can involve more noticeable peeling, redness, and sensitivity lasting about a week. During recovery, it's important to follow aftercare instructions and protect your skin from sun exposure to support proper healing.
Chemical peels can be safe and effective for most skin types when administered by a trained professional. However, individuals with very sensitive skin, certain skin conditions, or darker skin tones may require a gentler approach to minimize the risk of irritation or pigmentation issues. A consultation helps determine the most suitable type of peel for your skin.
The frequency of chemical peels depends on your skin concerns, goals, and the type of peel used. Light peels can be repeated every 4 to 6 weeks, while medium or deep peels may only be needed a few times per year. Your skincare provider will recommend a schedule tailored to your individual needs for optimal results.
