What Are Chemical Peels?
Aesthetic Med Studio provides different options for the highest quality results from chemical peel aesthetic treatments. Your individualized chemical peel with exfoliating solutions (such as salicylic, glycolic, trichloroacetic, and lactic acids) may give you healthier, smoother skin. At our Springfield, MO office, our experienced team offers chemical peel treatments that decrease skin irregularities, like scars, wrinkles, fine lines, uneven patches, hyperpigmentation issues, and more. Chemical peels eliminate damaged, dead skin cells using an individualized solution on your skin, which causes the top layer to slough off. As your skin heals and starts to repair and rejuvenate, you may see a smoother, clearer complexion. A chemical peel treatment is a noninvasive option to brighten your complexion and may be used for the neck and face.
How Do Chemical Peels Work?
During your procedure at Aesthetic Med Studio, we will have you lying comfortably to administer your treatment. A team member will make sure the skin is cleaned before applying the personalized solution to your face and/or neck. We will massage the solution onto your face and let it work for an appropriate length of time, which will be discussed in your chemical peel planning session. Then, we will clean the peel off your face and put on a neutralizing agent. Patients should bring sunscreen and/or a hat to wear outside after the treatment to avoid UV exposure.
What Can I Expect After a Chemical Peel?
Depending on the type of chemical peel treatment you choose, you can expect your skin to feel tight, dry, and mildly itchy as post-chemical peel peeling begins, typically lasting a few days to a couple of weeks. During your visit, Karlene or a member of her team will review detailed aftercare instructions for chemical peels, including how to support skin renewal, protect your skin barrier, and use gentle, medical-grade skincare to promote a smooth complexion rejuvenation process. While flaking and visible peeling are a normal part of chemical peel recovery, it is important not to pick or manually remove shedding skin. Pulling at delicate, exfoliating areas can increase the risk of irritation, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and even scarring, which may interfere with your overall skin resurfacing results.
What Are the Benefits of Chemical Peels?
Depending on the intensity of your chemical peel, you may expect a mixture of these perks from your treatment at Aesthetic Med Studio:
- Decrease in fine lines and age signs
- Hydrated, improved skin
- Shrinkage of pores and other skin abnormalities
- Even, smoother skin tone

Such a wonderful team and so professional! They are so friendly as soon as you walk in, they answered all of my questions and walked me through the best plan for my skin. They even have a texting system which was so great for any of my questions. I didn’t have to call and ask I was able to just text them. I had this one little red dot on my face that’s been there my whole life. Erina took one look at it knew how to fix it and now it’s gone, and she was so nice and personable. I am very pleased with the service

Am I A Candidate for a Chemical Peel?
Receiving the advice of a cosmetic professional is the first step toward healthier, more radiant skin. A team member at Aesthetic Med Studio can assess your skin during a skin analysis consultation at our Springfield, MO office before recommending the most appropriate chemical peel treatment for your needs and goals. During this visit, our team evaluates concerns related to skin rejuvenation, skin texture improvement, and overall nonsurgical skin resurfacing so the treatment plan supports clearer and smoother skin. Chemical peel candidates include both women and men who want to address visible skin concerns, such as:
- Acne scars and uneven skin texture
- Hyperpigmentation and sun spots from sun exposure
- Fine lines and wrinkles associated with aging skin
- Rough patches, dull tone, or flaky skin
Based on these findings, our team may recommend light, medium, or deeper medical-grade chemical peels designed to support collagen stimulation, skin renewal, and more even-looking skin
Frequently Asked Questions
What level should I choose for my chemical peel?
Which level of chemical peel is best for you will vary based on your unique skin concerns and cosmetic goals. During your initial consultation, our skin care specialists can help you choose which peel is right for your skin. A few factors you might want to consider are your general health, the type of skin you have, the depth of your skin concerns, the time you can commit to recovery, and what you want the peel to accomplish. For your first peel, it is better to start with a lighter chemical peel and decide what you think of the results. After this, we may tweak your treatment plan to decide the best chemical peel level for your needs.
Should I get a chemical peel or dermabrasion treatment?
Dermabrasion and chemical peels are both facial treatments that correct surface blemishes to make your skin a smoother appearance. The difference is that dermabrasion requires special tools (a rotating brush or shaving instrument) to remove the surface skin layer through a careful scraping process. A chemical peel applies a caustic solution to your skin to dissolve dead and damaged skin cells. In your consultation, our team will explain the pros and cons of both options and help you choose whether a chemical peel or dermabrasion is best for your skin goals.
Will my face hurt after a chemical peel?
Depending on the peel used, you might have some discomfort when it is on your skin. If you choose a lighter peel, you may feel some stinging, but it can be alleviated with a small fan. Deep or medium peels are good for deeper blemishes and give you longer-lasting results, but they typically are more uncomfortable. Numbing cream, medications, and ointments may be used to help you feel more comfortable during the treatment. Our skin care professionals will give you tips on skin care after your chemical peel to help your skin heal.
