Goodbye Dull Skin, Hello Glow!

What are chemical peels?

A chemical peel is a non-invasive procedure that uses a chemical solution to exfoliate and peel off the top layer of skin. The strength of the peel depends on the desired outcome, whether to improve skin texture and tone or address specific concerns such as acne or wrinkles.

The treatment helps to reveal smoother, more youthful skin by stimulating cellular turnover and collagen production. It is important to consult with a qualified medical professional to determine the most suitable peel for your individual skin needs and desired results.

At Kontour, we offer multiple chemical peel options to address your skincare needs, including the VI Peel - a revolutionary series of peels that offer superb results for fine line reduction, repairing sun damage, and treating acne and scarring.

Exfoliate & Brighten

What is the chemical peel procedure like?

During your consultation for your chemical peel Duluth aesthetic professionals will discuss your goals and recommend the appropriate peel strength for you. Chemical peels come in three main categories:

Light Peels

These gentle peels target the outermost layer of skin (epidermis) and are ideal for addressing concerns like uneven skin tone, sun damage, and mild roughness.

Recovery time is minimal, with slight redness and flaking subsiding within a few days.

Medium Peels

Medium chemical peels penetrate deeper into the epidermis, reaching the upper layer of the dermis. They are effective for treating fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin tone.

You may experience some redness, peeling, and swelling for 3-7 days following treatment.

Deep Peels

These are the most intensive peels and reach the deeper layers of the dermis. They are used to address significant wrinkles, sun damage, and precancerous lesions.

Deep peels require extensive downtime (several weeks) and involve more potential risks.
