What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel uses precisely formulated acids to exfoliate the outermost skin layers, removing dull, damaged cells and triggering a self-healing cascade that produces fresh collagen and elastin. By dissolving the “glue” that binds dead cells and pigment clusters, a peel clears clogged follicles, lifts discoloration, and unveils healthier tissue beneath.

At Southern Surgical Arts' medspa in Ooltewah, peel depths range from gentle lactic-acid refreshers to corrective trichloroacetic-acid (TCA) blends powerful enough to fade acne scars and tighten texture. Because each formula is chosen for your exact concerns—tone, sensitivity, oil level—results look bright and feel silky without the blanket approach of spa facials or drug-store scrubs.

Benefits of a Chemical Peel

Just one expertly calibrated session can spark a remarkable complexion comeback:

Restores youthful glow by removing the keratinized, light-scattering surface layer.
Minimizes fine lines etched by the sun and expression.
Fades discoloration such as sunspots, melasma, and post-acne marks.
Clears congestion to reduce breakouts and refine visible pores.
Pairs with injectables or laser sessions for head-to-toe rejuvenation.
Softens acne scars through collagen stimulation and surface re-texturing.
Balances overall tone so makeup applies smoothly—or becomes optional.
Speeds skincare efficacy by creating a fresh canvas that better absorbs serums.
Custom strengths, custom downtime—from no-peel “lunchtime” acids to deeper five-day resurfacers.
Confidence catalyst that often leads to lighter foundation and brighter selfies.

Ideal Candidates for Chemical Peels in Ooltewah

Great candidates include healthy adults troubled by rough texture, dry patches, age spots, mild scars, acne activity, or dull appearance. Good skin care at home helps maintain results, but you'll get an extra boost if you've plateaued with over-the-counter acids. A history of hypertrophic scarring, recent isotretinoin use, or active cold sores may postpone treatment. Pregnant patients should wait until postpartum for any chemical peel in Ooltewah.

“I had an incredible experience with Caitlyn at Southern Surgical Arts. She was not only warm and welcoming but also extremely knowledgeable. She took the time to walk me through the different options for Botox and lip filler, explained what would work best for my face, and gave honest, expert recommendations. I jokingly told her to “just make me look like you”—because she's absolutely stunning—and honestly, she worked her magic! My results are flawless. Totally worth the drive from out of town. Caitlyn is truly an artist with a syringe and has the kind of bedside manner that makes you feel instantly at ease. I now know why a lot of people I know drive the distance to see her!! Highly recommended!!”

Types of Chemical Peels We Offer

Glow-Boosting Lactic Peel

A no-downtime blend of lactic and mandelic acids sweeps off dull cells and infuses hydration, perfect before weddings or photo shoots.

Jessner's Clarifying Peel

A medium-depth trio of salicylic, lactic, and resorcinol targets acne, oil, and early sun damage, loosening blackheads and shrinking pores.

TCA Refinement Peel

Custom concentrations of trichloroacetic acid tackle pigment mottling, fine lines, and rough patches with three to five days of manageable peeling.

Custom Cocktail Peel

For multifaceted concerns—think scars and melasma—we mix glycolic, kojic, and salicylic acids plus brighteners like hydroquinone for a bespoke solution.

What to Expect After Treatment

Immediately post-peel your skin may look pink, feel tight, or display a light “frost.” Flaking typically starts by day two for medium peels and wraps by day five; milder peels may only produce microscopic shedding. Stick to gentle cleanser, hydrating serum, and broad-spectrum sunscreen; avoid heavy sweating, hot tubs, and picking to prevent pigment issues.

Outstanding Results

Most clients notice a glass-skin sheen once flaking lifts, with ongoing collagen remodeling that refines pores and smooths texture for weeks.

For cumulative improvement, we recommend a series of three to six peels spaced three to six weeks apart—timed to work with injectables or laser packages for full-face revitalization.

How much does a chemical peel cost at the medspa in Ooltewah?

Pricing depends on peel depth and number of sessions; your aesthetician provides a detailed quote plus financing options at consultation.

Can darker skin tones safely receive peels?

Yes—pigment-safe acids and pre-treatment brighteners allow Fitzpatrick IV-V patients to enjoy brightening benefits under experienced care.

How soon can I exercise?

Gentle walks are fine, but skip intense cardio, hot yoga, and saunas for 48 hours to minimize inflammation.

Is a peel painful?

Most clients feel tingling or mild heat for a few minutes; a handheld fan and neutralizing spray keep the experience comfortable.

Can I combine a peel with BOTOX or fillers?

Yes—space injectables two weeks before or after your peel series, or ask about same-day sequencing for mild acids.
