DLK Acne Peels treat active papules, blackheads and whiteheads. The treatment uses vitamin A and a combination of natural acids. These acids are multifunctional and work to control acne and sebaceous glands. The DLK Acne Peel treats acne caused by many factors, including hormones (pregnancy or menopause), medications, cosmetics and stress.

DLK Brightening Peels improve tone, texture, and clarity and reduce the appearance of pores. This targeted treatment rejuvenates and improves the appearance of sun-damaged skin. DLK’s Brightening Peels are a new generation of multi-functional chemical peels that are more effective and heal faster than conventional peels.

To prepare for your chemical peel, you should not:

• Exfoliate your face for a week beforehand.

• Remove hair from the treatment area a week beforehand.

• Stand in direct sunlight for prolonged periods.

• Wear makeup to your appointment.
  

It is recommended you arrive with a clean face that is in its natural state for optimal peel results.

During your chemical peel, one of the talented doctors at DLK on Avenue will apply a chemical solution to your face, often containing a form of glycolic or salicylic acid. The treated area(s) will begin to light, and you will feel a mild stinging, similar to a sunburn. A neutralizing solution will then be used to remove the chemical peel, and a cold compress may be applied to the skin.

After a chemical peel, your face might be flaking or peeling for 4-6 days. A sunblock will be applied to the skin before leaving the clinic. You do not need peeling to experience results. Most patients notice an improvement in skin tone, texture and pigment. Instructions on how to use your post-procedure at-home products will be provided. DLK peels combine in-clinic treatments and at-home prescribed products.

Not only are there various depths of peels available, but the epidermal/chemical peels available at DLK on Avenue can treat various areas of the body. 

For those who want to put their best face forward, seek an acne peel to treat bacteria, enlarged pores, acne, whiteheads, blackheads, and scarring. You can also opt for a brightening peel to treat wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and texture.

It is typically first seen on our face and neck when we age. Treat sagging and fine lines in the neck area that can make you look older by using the brightening peel, which can also help the appearance of age spots and sun damage.

You may have age spots and sun spots on your chest, along with uneven tone and texture due to a lack of hydration and prolonged sun exposure. Treat these concerns with a brightening peel!

If you’re self-conscious about acne or sun spots that are prevalent on your back, worry no more with our acne peel or brightening peel to even out tone and get rid of any bacteria, whiteheads, blackheads, and scarring. 

Our brightening peel accurately and effectively treats signs of aging in the hands, such as fine lines, age spots, and uneven tone/texture.

DLK Epidermal Peels are a unique blend of naturally occurring acids formulated to improve skin conditions.

Most patients require 4-6 chemical peel sessions to achieve their desired results, but some can do less and still see glowing skin.

Chemical peels should be spaced 1-2 months apart. The time between sessions allows your skin cells to renew. You can have facials closer together.

Around two weeks after your chemical peel, you will see the treated areas of your skin develop a new, youthful appearance. Redness can last a bit longer.

The results of even the lightest chemical peels can last for up to six months. If you receive a deeper peel, your results can last forever. It’s up to you to decide which type of peel you receive, and our team will help you decide which option is right for your concerns and their severity.
