Chemical Peels in Houston, TX

Chemical peels help improve the appearance of dull, uneven, congested, or rough skin by exfoliating damaged surface cells and encouraging healthy skin renewal. Depending on the type and depth of peel, treatment may improve acne, clogged pores, discoloration, sun damage, fine lines, uneven texture, and mild acne scarring.

By removing buildup from the surface of the skin, chemical peels can reveal a smoother, brighter, more even-looking complexion. Many professional peels also include active ingredients selected to target specific concerns, such as excess oil, breakouts, pigmentation, or visible signs of aging.

With a customized treatment plan, chemical peels can help support clearer, healthier-looking skin and maintain a refreshed glow over time.

At Glamour Plastic Surgery and Med Spa, we use a variety of chemical peels to treat different skin conditions and provide personalized treatments for each of our patients.  Chemical peels are recommended for you based on your skin type and condition, as well as your unique concerns.  We use only top-name products developed in the world’s most advanced and reputable skincare laboratories, such as VI® Peels, Glytone®, SkinBetter®, and ZO® Skin Care.

VI Peel®

VI Peel® provides a variety of formulas to treat aging skin, more advanced aging skin, acneic skin, acne scars, age spots, hyper-pigmentation, and surface skin damage.  Developed by one of the world’s leading cosmetic scientists, VI Peels are among the most respected skincare treatments in the field.

Glytone® Pyruvic Peel

The Glytone Pyruvic Acid Peel is a revitalizing peel that is ideal for acne-prone skin while also diminishing the appearance of lines, wrinkles, and photodamage, along with other premature signs of aging. It also encourages cell turnover, tightens pores, brightens the skin, and enhances skin clarity, while clearing away minor surface flaws and imperfections.

Glycolic Peels

Glycolic peels are the mildest, most superficial chemical peels. Glycolic peels provide gentle exfoliation of the skin’s outermost layer to cleanse, detoxify, and awaken a new layer of fresh, healthy skin cells. These gentle peels are effective for treating minor skin problems, such as fine lines, as well as hydrating thirsty skin and restoring a luminous glow.  Glycolic peels take about 15 minutes to apply and provide immediately noticeable improvements.  These peels are great for ongoing regular use to keep your skin bright and healthy.

Salicylic Acid Peels

Salicylic Acid peels are similar to Glycolic acid peels and provide a gentle exfoliation of the skin, removing surface impurities and imperfections. Salicylic acid peels are effective for treating mild discoloration and sunspots, freckles, blemishes, and acne scars.

ZO® Controlled Depth Peel

The ZO® Skin Health Controlled Depth Peel is known as the Non-Surgical Facelift Chemical Peel.  An intensive Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) peel, the ZO® Controlled Depth Peel rejuvenates and improves skin conditions such as irregular pigmentation, lines and wrinkles, acne scars, and enlarged pores while boosting hydration and improving elasticity through increased collagen production.

Trichloroacetic Acid Peels

TCA peels are effective for treating lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone, age and sun spots, acne blemishes and scars, and are useful for treating enlarged pores and even removing pre-cancerous skin lesions.

Phenol and Croton Oil Peel

Phenol and croton oil peels are deep chemical peels, performed under mild anesthesia, which represent the gold standard in chemical skin rejuvenation. These peels remove wrinkles, age, and sunspots, restore an even tone to sun-damaged skin and improve mild scarring while triggering the production of collagen to help heal and nourish the skin. Deep peels may produce as much as 25-30 % tightening of the facial skin as a consequence of collagen production. These deeper peels may take as long as 8-14 days to completely peel away damaged skin and reveal a new layer of smooth, clear skin

After a chemical peel, the skin may feel warm, tight, dry, or mildly sensitive. Depending on the type and strength of the peel, you may experience light flaking or more visible peeling over the next several days as older surface skin sheds and fresher-looking skin is revealed.

It is important not to pick, scrub, or pull at peeling skin, as this can cause irritation and interfere with healing. Instead, allow the skin to shed naturally and follow your recommended post-treatment skincare instructions.

Use gentle, hydrating products and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to protect the newly refreshed skin from sun exposure. Avoid exfoliants, retinoids, harsh active ingredients, and direct sun until your provider advises that it is safe to resume them.

Downtime and peeling vary by peel type, skin sensitivity, and treatment depth. Your provider will explain what to expect and recommend the appropriate aftercare for your specific chemical peel.
