Our Press
Our Approach
A body or buttocks chemical peel is a procedure that utilizes a solution of active ingredients (mainly acids) to induce a controlled injury to the outermost layers of the skin. Common areas for people to get chemical peels on their body include the back and butt. These areas are prone to acne related to hormones, hair growth, and sweat. Body chemical peels from an aesthetic clinic work beautifully to improve acne/blemishes by increasing the turnover rate of skin cells. Depending on the concern (such as treating sunspots, acne, hyperpigmentation, or acne scars) and the area being treated, multiple body chemical peel sessions may be required for optimal results. Do not wear makeup to your body chemical peel appointment.
Avoid shaving, waxing, or chemical hair removal for at least 24 hours prior to your body and buttocks chemical peel appointment.
If you’re prone to herpes outbreaks, take your medication at least 3 days before your appointment.
FAQs
Do chemical peels hurt?
On the body, chemical peels feel very mild. This is because the skin on the body is less sensitive than the skin on the face, so the results of body and back chemical peels are milder than chemical peels on the face. Med spa patients usually only feel a warm sensation.
How long does it take to see results?
The skin on your body is thicker than the skin on your face. In addition, the cellular turnover rate is slower. Therefore it takes longer to fully appreciate the results of chemical peels on the back, body, and buttocks. Patients should expect to wait 3-4 weeks to enjoy the results.
How long does a chemical peel take to heal?
The “downtime” is just a week. Meaning, this is when the skin is the driest and most sensitive. However because the body takes longer to heal, patients should expect dryness for 3-4 weeks. Sun exposure should be avoided completely for at least 2 weeks, and very limited for up to a month. Proper SPF must be utilized when exposed during those limited exposure periods.
Is it safe to get Body and Buttocks Chemical Peels during the Summer?
It depends. Chemical peels on the back and body can be safe in the Summer if the patient is completely out of the sun during the designated recovery period for the chemical peel treatment. Many patients find this challenging during the Summer, but if they want to proceed with a chemical peel it is possible with the appropriate safety parameters in place. The expert staff at our medspa for men will help you make sure you understand the options that work best for you.
Do chemical peels help with acne scars?
Yes, chemical peels are fantastic for body acne scars. Body chemical peels are great for improving body acne scars and texture. It can take multiple peels in combination with body microneedling with exosomes to address significant scarring. But chemical peel patients can expect an improvement with every treatment, especially when combined with medical-grade skincare.
Do chemical peels help with pigmentation?
Yes! Chemical peels on the back and body in combination with medical-grade skincare will drastically improve hyperpigmentation. Depending on the level of hyperpigmentation and discoloration, various hyperpigmentation treatments may be required with body chemical peels. Combining this with treatments of microneedling with exosomes can provide optimal results. Patients must be patient with the healing process when treating the body, as it does not heal as fast as the face for these corrective procedures.
How long do I have to wait between treatments?
Patients can be treated with full-body chemical peels from our NYC med spa as early as every 4 weeks when specifically targeting concerns such as body acne and hyperpigmentation on the body. Patients will receive the best results when treating the root cause of the issue, which is often hair growth since many body acne breakouts stem from folliculitis. Laser hair removal is recommended to treat the root cause of the problem first, then patients should proceed with body chemical peels to receive optimal results.
How much is a chemical peel?
The cost of a chemical peel can vary depending on the area being treated and the number of sessions required. At Lushful Aesthetics, a body chemical peel starts at $700. If you're interested in treating two areas, such as combining a back chemical peel with another area, the cost is $1000.
How long does a chemical peel last?
The results of a chemical peel can last several months, but this can vary based on the individual and the specific concerns being treated. For issues like hyperpigmentation and acne scars, multiple sessions of chemical peels for the body may be needed for optimal results.
Can you wear makeup after a chemical peel?
It is recommended to avoid wearing makeup immediately after a chemical peel, especially for the first 24 hours. This helps ensure the treated area can heal properly and reduces the risk of irritation.
How many chemical peels do I need for hyperpigmentation?
The number of chemical peels needed for hyperpigmentation varies depending on the severity of the discoloration and your skin type. Typically, several sessions spaced a few weeks apart are recommended for best results. Our staff will work with you to determine the best plan for you.
Can you workout after a chemical peel?
It is advised to avoid working out for at least 24 hours after a chemical peel. Sweating can irritate the treated area and may affect the healing process.
How to prepare for a chemical peel?
Preparation for a chemical peel includes avoiding shaving, waxing, or chemical hair removal for at least 24 hours before your appointment. If you're prone to herpes outbreaks, take your medication at least three days prior. On the day of your appointment, ensure your skin is clean and free of makeup or other skincare products.
