Benefits of Chemical Peels
Acne Relief
Not only does a chemical peel target acne scarring, but it also kills off acne-causing bacteria and reduces inflammation.
Revitalized Texture
Your chemical peel in Oxnard can reduce the appearance of fine lines while improving skin texture—resulting in more youthful, glowing skin.
Consistent Tone
This treatment effectively creates a more consistent, even skin tone, minimizing discoloration and other unwanted marks.
Consultation
At Younique, we begin all of our new patient care with a consultation. At this appointment, you will meet your provider and discuss your medical history, goals for treatment, and any other concerns you may have.
Chemical peels in Oxnard can provide numerous benefits for your complexion. Should this treatment be the best fit for your needs, we can schedule you for treatment.
Procedure
The depth of peel will depend on the extent of concerns you have. For concerns such as fine lines and dryness, a light chemical peel may be sufficient. On the other hand, a medium or deep peel is better suited for scarring, more significant wrinkles, extensive sun damage, and other greater concerns. We’ll determine the appropriate peel depth during your consultation, as this dictates the amount of downtime you will need following treatment.
At your appointment, you’ll get comfortable in our treatment room, where your provider will cleanse the desired area. They’ll then apply the chosen chemical peel solution to your skin, where it will begin to take effect. You may feel a slight burning sensation for 1 to 2 minutes during the peel. The process will take around 15 minutes total.
Recovery
Chemical peel recovery time will vary based on your individual chemical peel and treatment needs. After chemical peels in Oxnard, patients should:
- Stay out of direct sunlight and avoid tanning beds for 7 days after treatment.
- Wear SPF 30 (or higher) sunscreen if you need to be in the sun.
- Avoid activities that cause heavy sweating for a few days.
- Do not scrub the treated area, as this can affect the healing process and irritate your skin.
- Only use gentle, hydrating cleansers on your skin for at least 7 days post-treatment.
- Apply moisturizer twice each day for 7 to 14 days, until your skin is no longer dry and tight.
If you decide to get follow up chemical peels, your skin will retain its youthful glow for longer and maintain its smooth texture.

Are chemical peels right for me?
Chemical peels are a versatile treatment option, as the varying depths and customization options allow us to cater treatment to a wide variety of skin types and concerns. The ideal candidate is a person who has realistic expectations for results, is in generally good health, and is able to follow treatment protocols for the best results. During your consultation, your Younique provider will asses your skin and medical history to better determine if a chemical peel is right for you.
Chemical peels in Oxnard can provide benefits for almost any skin type, but they tend to be more effective on fairer skin tones. A chemical peel can still provide many benefits for people with darker skin tones; however, a peel may not be able to address discoloration as effectively.
This treatment may not produce adequate results in people with advanced wrinkles, sagging skin, or facial “bulges.” Visit us for a consultation to get a better idea of whether a chemical peel is right for you. If not, we can help you find the best option for your needs.
How do chemical peels help improve my overall health?
If chemical peels in Oxnard are an effective tool for skin cleansing and exfoliating, then our providers at Younique are the craftsmen.
Our chemical peels contain only safe ingredients. These ingredients help remove excess oil and sebum, providing long-lasting results. Not only that, but chemical peels tighten your pores, diminishing the appearance and frequency of acne in teens and adults alike. Chemical peels can also reduce sun spots, also known as age spots or liver spots.
Is there anything I should know before getting treatment?
After we schedule you for your chemical peel treatment, our staff will give you pre- and post-care instructions that will enable you to get the most out of treatment. There are a few important things to be aware before your appointment:
- Avoid direct sunlight and tanning for at least 2 to 4 weeks prior to treatment.
- Do not wear makeup or lotion in the treatment area when you go to get your chemical peel.
- Pause any use of harsh skincare and other exfoliating treatments 2 to 4 weeks before and after your appointment.
- Stop using retinoids 2 to 4 weeks before your treatment.
When in your consultation, inform your provider if you have a history of cold sores. You may need to take an antiviral medication prior to treatment.
