Chemical Peels in Naples

A chemical peel is a treatment that removes the top layer of skin in the desired area. The use of a chemical solution reveals the brighter and younger skin that has always been there.

Chemical peels work by removing the older, top layers of the facial skin, to reveal the newer and younger layers below. They can also lessen dark pigments of the skin associated with age or sun spots. Patients usually undergo these treatments once or multiple times, depending on their specific needs and concerns.

Chemical peels are generally considered a comfortable treatment, although deeper peels may cause a more intense sensation. We offer a variety of chemical peels in Naples that vary in how deep and intense they are.

When you choose to have a light chemical peel treatment done, there is very minimal discomfort involved. Patients in the past have reported a mild tingling sensation while the peel is on their face. The tingling feeling may persist for a couple of minutes after the peel is removed. If you decide to opt for a deeper type of peel, you may need to take pain medication or put cool compresses on your face for a few hours after your treatment.

Single treatments help with minor improvements, but we recommend multiple light chemical peel sessions for significant change. Each time you peel, your skin will become more resilient and adjusted to the treatment. Some guests report less downtime for subsequent treatments.

Light peels and medium peelers require slightly different approaches to preparing your skin for treatment. Please ask one of our expert providers at Von & Co if you have any questions.

Light Peel

• Apply sunscreen regularly to protect your skin from damage.
• Do not tweeze, wax, or irritate the treatment area 1 week before treatment.
• Arrive at your appointment with a fully clean face clear of makeup or other products.

Medium Peel

• Follow the same steps as light peels, adding the following.
• No facial waxing, tweezing, or dermaplaning 7 days before treatment.
• Pause using products like Renova, Differin, Tazorac, Avage, or Ziana or any products that exfoliate or cause irritation.

Light peels only impact the epidermis, the topmost layer of skin. Medium peels extend further into the skin, requiring more time in recovery. Follow these steps to achieve quick and easy recovery.

Light Peels

• Wash your face with cool water. Hot water may feel uncomfortable
• To promote fast healing, drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
• Apply sunscreen to protect the layer of skin revealed by chemical peels

Medium Peels

• Allow scabs to flake off your skin naturally. Avoid preemptive picking.
• Apply petroleum jelly to elevate comfort and healing on peeling areas.
• Use a cold compress on inflamed areas to ease discomfort.

This depends entirely on the type and intensity of the peel you get.

• Light peels often result in mild irritation and dryness, taking the skin 1 to 7 days to heal.
• After medium peels, expect swelling, redness, and stinging. The recovery process lasts 7 to 14 days.
• Deep chemical peels require surgical dressing and ointments to help with the pain. Prepare to spend 14 days recovering.
