About This Treatment

How Chemical Peels Work

Chemical peels use controlled application of acid solutions to remove damaged outer layers of skin, stimulating cellular turnover and collagen production. By precisely dissolving the bonds between dead and damaged cells, these medical-grade formulations reveal the fresher, healthier skin beneath while triggering your body's natural renewal process.

Depth ranges from superficial “lunchtime peels” using gentle glycolic or lactic acid, to medium-depth treatments like the VI Peel and TCA peels that penetrate deeper for more dramatic results. At IRIS Aesthetics in Longmont, CO, Dr. Adrianna Jensen personally selects and applies each peel based on your unique skin type, tone, and goals — ensuring safe, effective treatment every time.

The result? Visibly brighter, smoother, more even-toned skin with refined texture and reduced imperfections that continues to improve in the weeks following treatment as fresh collagen forms and new skin cells surface.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

About chemical peels in Longmont, CO

Depth ranges from superficial to medium. Light peels (glycolic/lactic) gently exfoliate the outermost layer with no downtime. VI Peels penetrate the upper dermis for moderate renewal. TCA medium peels reach deeper to address scars, wrinkles, and melasma for more dramatic results.
Light peels feel like a mild tingling or warmth and are very well tolerated. VI Peels involve minimal discomfort since the solution is self-neutralizing. TCA peels produce a moderate stinging sensation during application, but discomfort is brief and manageable. We take every step to ensure your comfort.
The ideal peel depends on your skin type, concerns, and goals. Light glycolic peels are perfect for maintenance and mild brightening. The VI Peel is excellent for pigmentation, acne, and aging across all skin tones. TCA peels are recommended for deeper concerns like scars and significant wrinkles. Dr. Jensen will assess your skin and recommend the best option during your consultation.
Light glycolic peels can be performed monthly for ongoing maintenance. VI Peels are typically spaced 4–6 weeks apart, with a series of 3–4 treatments recommended. TCA peels are usually performed 2–3 times per year due to deeper penetration and longer recovery time.
Yes, chemical peels combine beautifully with other treatments. They pair well with microneedling for collagen stimulation, Botox and fillers for comprehensive rejuvenation, and IPL photofacials for pigmentation. Dr. Jensen can design a customized plan that combines therapies for your best results.
Certain peels are excellent for darker skin tones. The VI Peel was specifically formulated to be safe for all skin types, including Fitzpatrick IV–VI. Light glycolic peels at lower concentrations are also well-tolerated. Dr. Jensen carefully selects the appropriate peel type and strength to minimize any risk of hyperpigmentation.
Downtime varies by depth. Light glycolic peels have virtually no downtime — you may notice mild pinkness for a few hours. VI Peels involve 5–7 days of visible peeling as new skin emerges. TCA medium peels require 7–10 days with more noticeable peeling and redness. Most patients schedule deeper peels around social commitments.
Avoid sun exposure for 1–2 weeks prior and discontinue retinoids 3–5 days before treatment. For deeper peels, Dr. Jensen may prescribe a pre-peel conditioning regimen with specific skincare products to optimize results and minimize side effects. Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin on treatment day.
