Because your skin type plays an important role in determining the right option, understanding how each peel works can help you make the best choice for healthier, smoother skin.
Light Peel
If you have normal, oily, or acne-prone skin, a light peel can help reduce breakouts, minimize enlarged pores, and even out surface discoloration. Using gentle alpha-hydroxy or beta-hydroxy acids, this treatment focuses on exfoliating the outer layer of the skin.
It’s also a good option for dry or sensitive skin, but the specific acid used may vary. For example, alpha-hydroxy acids such as lactic or mandelic acid are very gentle and may be right for someone with dry skin.
A light peel provides a subtle refresh, resulting in a brighter, smoother appearance. Results can build if you schedule regular light peels (generally safe every 2-5 weeks).
Medium Peel
Medium peels penetrate a bit deeper, reaching the upper dermis with agents such as glycolic acid, TCA, or Jessner’s solution. This type of peel may be ideal for normal, oily, aging, sun-damaged, and acne-prone skin.
A medium peel can effectively help blur wrinkles, improve skin tone, reduce age spots, and smooth texture, resulting in a more noticeable effect than a light peel. It can also soften acne scars, making it a versatile choice for patients wanting more noticeable improvement without committing to the longer downtime of a deeper peel.
A medium peel usually requires 7-14 days of healing time.
Deep Peel
For significant signs of aging, such as deep wrinkles, blotchy pigmentation, or dramatically sun-damaged skin, a deep peel could be the right choice.
Using phenol, this peel penetrates the deeper dermis and can provide a dramatic transformation. Since it requires a longer recovery time (14-21 days), it’s typically best suited for those who are ready for a one-time treatment with lasting results.
A careful evaluation of your skin type and a discussion of your concerns help you find the perfect peel to achieve your goals while fitting your lifestyle.
