What Are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are a range of cosmetic treatments designed to improve and smooth the appearance of the facial skin using a chemical solution that can contain a variety of acids such as glycolic acid, lactic acid, or carbolic acid. The solution is applied to the face to reduce the depth of fine lines and wrinkles that are caused by sun exposure and unhealthy lifestyle habits like smoking. At Balikian Facial Plastic Surgery, we offer options like the Perfect Derma Peel for patients interested in a chemical in Murrieta.
The Perfect Derma Peel
We also offer the Perfect Derma Peel, which utilizes a powerful antioxidant known as glutathione, which lightens and brightens the skin, slows down the aging process, and helps prevent wrinkles. This type of chemical peel can improve the overall clarity, tone, and texture of the skin while boosting one’s collagen production, resulting in firmer, more youthful skin.
The Benefits of Using Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are effective at evening out the skin’s imperfections and helping to fade brown spots. They can also be used in other areas of the body to help assist in reducing acne and other unsightly blemishes. This cosmetic treatment is extremely versatile and can be fully customized to accommodate the needs of each individual.
The chemical solution can help loosen dead skin cells from the skin’s surface while providing a smoother texture and glow. Balikian Facial Plastic Surgery offers light to superficial-depth chemical peels along with the option for a deeper, more advanced peel for more significant skin corrections. A chemical peel can be used to:
- Reduce acne scarring
- Smooth skin
- Remove dead or damaged skin
- Treat discoloration
- Minimize pores
- Reduce the appearance of fine lines
The Chemical Peel Process
Our Aesthetic injectors will begin the procedure by cleansing the skin to make sure that it’s free from impurities. The chemical solution will then be carefully applied with a brush to the specific treatment areas. It will penetrate into the skin layers slowly to remove the top layer of dead and damaged skin cells. The chemical solution will then be removed, and patients can safely return to their normal daily activities.
What to Expect After Your Chemical Peel
Chemical peels may leave your skin feeling tingly and tender, but this is a common side effect and will subside quickly. Patients are advised to keep their skin protected by avoiding excessive sun exposure and makeup while applying sunscreen on a daily basis. The peeling process can last 2 days to up to 10 days depending on the strength of the chemical peel. Our team will go over how to care for your skin following your chemical peel in Murrieta.
How Much Does Chemical Peel Cost?
The price of chemical peel varies widely depending on multiple factors, like how depth the fine lines and wrinkles are, and the technique required to achieve optimal results and the cosmetic or medical concerns you want to address. Contact us today and find out what’s best for you.

I highly recommend the team at Dr. Balikian’s. The whole staff is amazing.
I had a vampire facial done with JoAnn at Dr. Balikian’s office about 5 months ago. […] I also got the perfect peel a month after my vampire facial, I feel like the peel definitely intensified the process. After the peel, I felt like my skin was visibly smoother, tighter, and plumper. The before and after were amazing. I can’t wait for my appointment in June for my Botox. I highly recommend the team at Dr. Balikian’s. The whole staff is amazing.
