Chemical Peel

Chemical peels use a chemical solution with active ingredients like salicylic acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, or TCA. The solution works to cause your skin to exfoliate and peel, helping remove the outer layer of damaged skin cells and revealing new skin underneath. Superficial peels target the outermost layer, while deeper peel options penetrate further. Over time, peels may also stimulate collagen production for firmer, smoother skin.

At Boujee Nurse, we offer the Prodigy Peel Pro System in two formulations. The P2 is a medium depth peel with a salicylic acid booster, ideal for fine lines, uneven skin tone, and blemish-prone skin. It works well for all skin types. The P3 uses resorcinol, lactic acid, and salicylic acid for a deeper peel that addresses acne, hyperpigmentation, and wrinkles. An alpha hydroxy acid peel like glycolic acid is also commonly used for lighter concerns. During your consultation, your provider will recommend the peel that fits your skin care needs.

Peels help smooth rough skin texture, reduce fine lines, fade acne scars and age spots, and improve overall skin tone. They also remove dead skin, unclog pores, and stimulate the growth of healthy skin cells. With regular treatments, patients typically notice brighter, more even skin.

Yes, but you will need to stop using tretinoin and similar retinoids at least one week before your peel. Patients with a history of cold sores should take antiviral medication beforehand. During your consultation, your provider will review your skincare routine and medical history to confirm a chemical peel is safe for you.

Chemical peels can soften fine lines by removing the surface layer of skin and encouraging collagen production. Medium and deep peels deliver more visible results for deeper lines. Your provider may suggest combining peels with dermal fillers or neurotoxins for a complete rejuvenation plan.

Chemical peels are clinically shown to improve the appearance of actinic keratosis, rough patches, and other surface-level concerns. A medium or deeper peel can remove the outer layer of thickened skin and encourage healthy cell turnover. Some forms of keratosis require medical evaluation, so your provider will let you know the right approach.

Many patients see a noticeable difference after one treatment, especially with medium depth peels. The Prodigy Peel Pro System is recommended in a series of three treatments spaced four to eight weeks apart for the best long-term results. Your provider will create a customized treatment plan based on your skin type and goals.

Chemical peels are safe when performed by a trained provider. Superficial peels come with little to no downtime and mild redness that fades quickly. Medium and deep peels involve more recovery time, and your skin may feel tight with peeling that lasts several days. It is important to protect your skin with SPF and avoid sun exposure during healing. At Boujee Nurse, safety is always our top priority.
