AlumierMD® “Glow Peel” is a medium depth medical grade peel. It is a combination of lactic acid, salicylic acid & resorcinol, creating a multipurpose resurfacing solution for pigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, post pregnancy mask, discolouration, and uneven skin tone. Redness can be visible immediately post procedure; mild peeling can be expected 3-5 days post treatment.

1. What is a chemical peel?
A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure that uses a chemical solution to exfoliate and remove the outer layers of skin. This process can help improve skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.
2. What types of chemical peels are available?
There are three main types of chemical peels:
- Light (or superficial) peels target only the outer layer of skin and are usually made with alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs).
- Medium peels penetrate deeper into the skin, often using trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or glycolic acid.
- Deep peels reach the lower layers of the skin and typically use phenol. Deep peels are more invasive and require longer recovery times.
3. What conditions can chemical peels treat?
Chemical peels can address a variety of skin issues, including acne and acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage and hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone and texture.
4. Who is a good candidate for a chemical peel?
Most people can benefit from chemical peels, but those with certain skin conditions, such as active acne, eczema, or rosacea, should consult with a dermatologist before undergoing the procedure.
5. What should I expect during the procedure?
During a chemical peel, the skin is cleansed, and the chemical solution is applied. You may feel a tingling or burning sensation. The procedure typically lasts from 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the type of peel.
6. What is the recovery time?
Recovery time varies by peel type:
- Light peels have minimal downtime, with redness and peeling for a few days.
- Medium peels require about a week for recovery, with swelling and peeling.
- Deep peels may take several weeks for full recovery.
7. Are there any side effects?
Possible side effects include redness, swelling, peeling, and, in some cases, scarring or changes in skin pigmentation. Following post-procedure care instructions can help minimize risks.
8. How often can I get a chemical peel?
The frequency of chemical peels depends on the type and your skin’s response. Light peels can be done every few weeks, while medium and deep peels are usually spaced out more, often several months apart.
9. What aftercare is needed?
After a chemical peel, it’s essential to protect your skin from sun exposure, keep it moisturized, and follow any specific aftercare instructions provided by your dermatologist.
10. Can I combine chemical peels with other treatments?
Yes, chemical peels can often be combined with other treatments like microdermabrasion or laser therapy, but it's important to consult with a us to determine the best approach for your skin type and concerns.
