How it Works

On the day of your chemical peel in The Woodlands, we will first ensure you are comfortable, wash the skin with a facial cleanser and prep the skin with an alcohol/acetone. Then we will apply the chemical peel solution to the treatment area(s) and leave it to go to work exfoliating and brightening your skin. The amount of time the solution is left on your skin varies widely and depends on the type of peel we are performing.

After a light chemical peel, skin will be tingly, red, and irritated. Our experienced aestheticians will walk you through all the proper after care instructions to ensure risk-free healing. After we perform all chemical peels in The Woodlands, we will neutralize the chemical if necessary and apply sunscreen to help protect the skin afterwards.

Recently, at my annual appointment with the dermatologist, I was so very impressed and pleased. The Dr. commented on how great I was taking care of my skin. He had no idea that Allison and Kelli were taking care of my skin, I was just following their instructions with the regime they had advised! There are no professionals, or places, that I could more highly recommend than Allison and Kelli at Medical Aesthetics and Laser. My intent here is to pay it forward, just as my friend did, by her recommendation of Allison to me.
