When the hot summer finally cools down, your skin often shows signs of the changing seasons. Long days of sun exposure, chlorine from summer pool days, and extensive outdoor activities can leave behind dryness, uneven tone, and lingering sun damage on your skin. Add in the crisp, drier autumn air, and your complexion may look dull or feel tight.
That’s why fall is considered one of the best times to invest in treatments that restore and rejuvenate your skin. One treatment that stands out this cozy season is a chemical peel, which can dramatically improve skin texture, brighten tone, and reduce the appearance of fine lines, all while fitting neatly into your seasonal skincare routine. Dr. Michael Elder and the teamat Advanced Aestheticsoffer this treatment and are prepared to answer all of your questions about chemical peels and how they’re the perfect glow-up option.
What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a professional skin therapythat uses a special solution to gently exfoliate and remove the outer layers of the skin. Depending on the depth of the peel, the treatment can target aesthetic issues like:
- Uneven pigmentation and sun damage
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Rough skin texture
- Acne scars or blemishes
- Dull, tired-looking skin
As the skin heals, new, healthier layers are revealed, giving your complexion a smoother, brighter, and more youthful appearance.
Chemical peels can be light, medium, or deep depending on your goals and how much downtime you’re comfortable with. At Advanced Aesthetics, our team creates customized plans to ensure your peel matches your skin type, lifestyle, and desired results.
Why Fall Is the Perfect Season for a Chemical Peel
While peel treatmentscan be done year-round, there are clear advantages to scheduling one in the fall:
Reduced Sun Exposure
After a peel, skin is more sensitive to UV rays. Shorter days and cooler weather naturally mean less time in strong sun, which helps protect your results.
Repairing Summer Damage
Even with diligent sunscreen use, summer activities can leave behind sunspots, dryness, or clogged pores. A peel helps repair this damage by encouraging fresh cell turnover.
Pre-Holiday Glow
A treatment in early fall gives your skin time to renew before the holiday season, so you show up to gatherings with a refreshed glow.
Boosted Skincare Absorption
Freshly exfoliated skin absorbs serums and moisturizers more effectively, so your daily routine works harder for you.
Long-Term Skin Health
By removing damaged outer layers and stimulating renewal, peels support skin health well beyond the fall season.
Chemical Peels at Advanced Aesthetics
The team at Advanced Aesthetics offers BioRePeel® C3, an innovative peel that combines exfoliation with revitalizing ingredients for smoother, healthier skin. With minimal downtime, it’s especially appealing for patients who want visible results without a lengthy recovery. Here are some of the benefits of getting one:
Your Skin Texture Improves
Your skin becomes smoother, reducing the appearance of fine lines and leaving you with a soft and even skin texture.
You Get a Collagen Boost
Chemical peels stimulate the synthesis of collagen, a chemical in your body that improves your skin’s hydration and elasticity levels, leaving you with a more youthful complexion.
It’s Easy and Quick
A chemical peel takes thirty minutes or less and typically requires little to no downtime, so your entire day won’t be held up by this quick procedure.
It’s (Relatively) Noninvasive
BioRePeel C3 has powerful results, but it’s formulated to be gentle on your skin. This makes it suitable even for the most sensitive skin, and leaves you with minimal to no irritation.
