Chemical Peels

The Skinbetter AlphaRet Chemical Peel is a professional-grade exfoliating treatment that combines the benefits of alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), and retinoid technology. It is designed to improve the texture, tone, and appearance of the skin by removing dead skin cells, stimulating collagen production, and revealing smoother, more radiant skin.

The AlphaRet peel works by exfoliating the outer layer of the skin and encouraging cellular turnover. The combination of AHAs and BHAs dissolves dead skin cells, while retinoid technology helps to stimulate collagen and elastin production in the deeper layers of the skin. The result is brighter, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.

The Skinbetter AlphaRet Chemical Peel is highly effective for treating a variety of skin concerns, including:

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Uneven skin tone and texture

• Hyperpigmentation (age spots, sun spots, melasma)

• Acne and clogged pores

• Dull or rough skin

• Sun damage and discoloration

Yes, the Skinbetter AlphaRet Chemical Peel is designed to be suitable for a wide range of skin types and tones. It is gentle enough for sensitive skin yet effective enough to provide noticeable improvements. However, a consultation with our Nurse Practitioner is recommended to ensure it’s the right treatment for your individual skin concerns.

A typical Skinbetter AlphaRet Chemical Peel takes about 20-30 minutes, depending on the specific needs of your skin. It is a quick procedure with minimal downtime, making it ideal for individuals with busy schedules.

During the treatment, you may feel a mild tingling or warmth, which is normal. Some clients may experience slight discomfort during the peel, but it is generally well-tolerated. After the treatment, you may experience mild redness or a sensation of tightness in the skin, but these effects usually subside within a few hours.

Most clients notice an immediate improvement in skin texture, tone, and radiance after just one treatment. For optimal results, a series of 3-5 peels is typically recommended, spaced about 4-6 weeks apart. Over time, you will notice more even skin tone, reduced fine lines, and an overall rejuvenated appearance.

There is minimal downtime associated with the Skinbetter AlphaRet Chemical Peel. You may experience some dryness, or mild flaking in the days following the treatment. This is a natural part of the exfoliation process and typically resolves within a few days. Most people are able to resume their normal activities immediately after the procedure.

Yes, the Skinbetter AlphaRet Chemical Peel can be used with other treatments in a curated treatment plan such as HydraFacial, Botox, dermal fillers, or microneedling for enhanced results. However, we would not want to combine a chemical peel treatment the same day as these other treatments. Using other treatments can address multiple skin concerns and provide more comprehensive rejuvenation. Our Nurse Practitioner, Hannah, can recommend the best treatment plan for your needs.

For optimal results, a series of 3-5 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart is typically recommended. After completing your initial series, maintenance treatments every 2-3 months can help maintain your results and continue improving your skin over time.

The Skinbetter AlphaRet Chemical Peel is suitable for individuals who want to improve skin texture, reduce signs of aging, treat hyperpigmentation, or address acne and clogged pores. It is appropriate for most skin types, but a consultation with our Nurse Practitioner is necessary to determine if this treatment is right for you.

Side effects are typically minimal but may include slight redness, peeling, or dryness in the days following the treatment. These effects are temporary and should resolve within a few days. It’s important to follow your provider’s aftercare instructions to ensure the best results and avoid potential irritation.

The Skinbetter AlphaRet 30 Chemical Peel is the introductory chemical peel to ensure that your skin is conditioned for a more intensive treatment and costs $150. The Skinbetter AlphaRet 50 Chemical Peel is a more intensive treatment to amplify your results and costs $175. During a consultation, your provider will give you an accurate pricing estimate based on your treatment plan and specific needs.

Before your treatment, you should avoid using products with strong exfoliants (like retinoids or exfoliating acids) for 5 days leading up to your peel.
