Unlock Radiant Skin with Chemical Peel Treatment
If you’re looking for a skin rejuvenation method that delivers real, noticeable results, chemical peel treatment might be the perfect solution. At Smooth Kitty, we offer advanced chemical peels, including our signature Pico-Peel, to address various skin concerns like pigmentation, dullness, and acne scars. Whether you’re considering a superficial peel, TCA peel, or our innovative Pico-Peel, we ensure personalized care for your unique needs.
What is a Chemical Peel Treatment?
A chemical peel involves applying a solution to the skin to exfoliate damaged layers, stimulating the growth of new skin cells. This process enhances skin tone, texture, and overall appearance.
Types of Chemical Peels
Superficial Peels
- What They Do: Superficial peels use mild acids like glycolic, mandelic, salicylic, azelaic, or lactic acid to gently exfoliate the top layer of the skin. These peels act as Metabolic Acid Agents, breaking down the bonds between dead and damaged skin cells for a refined, polished look.
- Best For: Light exfoliation, addressing dullness, and mild pigmentation.
- Downtime: Minimal, making it ideal for those with a busy schedule.
TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) Peels
- What They Do: Address deeper concerns like pigmentation, acne scars, and fine lines. These Caustic Acid Agents work by breaking down proteins in the surface skin cells, forming a protective barrier that eventually sloughs off to reveal fresh, rejuvenated skin.
They penetrate deeper layers of the skin to address moderate pigmentation, acne scars, and fine lines.
- Best For: More significant skin issues requiring deeper rejuvenation.
- Downtime: Moderate; peeling may last 3–7 days.
At Smooth Kitty, we evaluate your skin type and concerns to recommend the most suitable peel, ensuring both safety and effectiveness.
Why Choose Smooth Kitty’s Pico-Peel?
Our Pico-Peel combines the power of pico laser technology with a light chemical peel for unparalleled results. While chemical peels alone can exfoliate and rejuvenate, adding a pico laser treatment boosts effectiveness by:
- Creating Microchannels: The laser creates tiny holes in the skin via a photoacoustic effect, enhancing absorption of the chemical peel.
- Reducing Melanin: Pico lasers break down pigmentation at deeper levels, allowing the peel to work more efficiently on the skin’s surface.
- Stimulating Collagen: The acoustic shockwaves from the laser stimulate collagen production, promoting elasticity and reducing fine lines.
Compared to traditional chemical peels or pico laser alone, Pico-Peel provides faster, more visible results with minimal downtime.
Benefits of Chemical Peel Treatment
1. Enhances Skin Tone and Brightness
Chemical peels effectively reduce hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and uneven skin tone, revealing a radiant complexion.
2. Targets Acne and Scars
By unclogging pores and promoting cell renewal, peels help reduce acne breakouts and fade scars.
3. Softens Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Chemical peels stimulate collagen production, improving skin elasticity and minimizing wrinkles.
4. Boosts Skin Texture
They smooth rough patches, leaving the skin soft and supple.
5. Improves Product Absorption
Exfoliated skin absorbs serums and moisturizers more effectively, enhancing their efficacy.
Comparing Superficial Peels, TCA Peels, and Pico-Peel
| Feature | Superficial Peels | TCA Peels | Pico-Peel |
| Effectiveness | Mild results for surface issues | Moderate results for deeper issues | Superior results for pigmentation and texture |
| Downtime | Minimal (1–2 days) | Moderate (3–7 days) | Minimal to moderate (1–2 days) |
| Skin Concerns | Dullness, mild pigmentation | Acne scars, fine lines | Pigmentation, scars, elasticity |
| Additional Benefits | Gentle exfoliation | Deeper exfoliation | Collagen stimulation, enhanced absorption |
Why Pico-Peel is Better: While superficial and TCA peels focus on surface-level improvements, the Pico-Peel addresses both surface and deeper issues by combining laser technology with a peel for a multi-faceted approach to skin rejuvenation.
Potential Side Effects of Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are safe when performed by professionals, but minor side effects can occur:
- Redness: Temporary redness is common post-treatment.
- Peeling: Skin shedding is expected as part of the renewal process.
- Sensitivity: The skin may feel tender or sensitive to sun exposure.
- Irritation: Improper care post-treatment can cause dryness or itchiness.
With the expert care at Smooth Kitty, these effects are minimized, and proper aftercare instructions are provided to ensure optimal results.

- Hydration: Apply a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated.
- Sunscreen: Use SPF 50 sunscreen daily to protect your skin.
- Avoid Harsh Products: Refrain from using exfoliants or retinoids for at least a week.
- Follow Professional Advice: Adhere to the aftercare plan provided by your technician.
