Reveal Clearer, Healthier Skin with Chemical Peels in Toronto
Want more even, glowing skin? A Power Peel at Toronto’s Avebelle Cosmetic Clinic is a skin rejuvenation option that helps patients restore a more vibrant, smoother, and clearer complexion. Skin cell turnover is a process that happens continuously without us being aware of it, in which new skin cells are created to replace the dead, older skin on the surface. As we get older, collagen production decreases and the rate of skin cell turnover slows dramatically. Sometimes, the skin cells don’t shed completely, so we get a buildup of dead skin that causes blocked pores, dry areas, flakiness, discoloration, uneven texture, and more frequent acne breakouts. Stress from the external environment, such as sun damage and harsh weather changes, also affects the skin’s appearance.

What is Power Peel?
Power Peel from Avebelle Cosmetic Clinic is a type of chemical peel that enhances the overall appearance of the skin. This treatment involves the application of a chemical solution to dissolve and remove the outer layers of the skin. The Power Peel solution stimulates the growth of new skin cells. After the chemical peel is applied, the dead skin exfoliates and peels off.
The new skin that takes its place is smoother and less wrinkled compared to the older, damaged skin. Chemical peels also create a more even skin tone by addressing cosmetic concerns such as hyperpigmentation and acne flare-ups. Power Peel can be applied to the face, neck, and hands. These chemical peels are safe for the delicate, thinner skin around the eyes and mouth. There are three types of Power Peel treatments: light, medium, and deep.

How Can You Prepare for Power Peel?
The first step is to set up a consultation so that skilled nurse practitioners can help you find the most effective chemical peel for your concerns. Prior to having Power Peel, patients should avoid using retinol and other retinoids for at least forty-eight hours. Let the nurse know about any medications you currently are taking and whether you scar easily. They may also advise that you avoid hair removal methods or products, facial scrubs, and exfoliants for one week prior to the chemical peel treatment.
Power Peels may not be recommended for those who are pregnant, have frequent or severe outbreaks of cold sores, have taken certain oral acne medications within the last six months, or have a personal or family history of keloid scars.
Power Peel Procedure Details
A Power Peel session typically can last between thirty to ninety minutes on average. A chemical peel is an in-office treatment and after the skin has been cleaned, eye protection will be provided, then the area may be numbed with a topical anesthetic.
Results and Recovery from Power Peel
It is normal for mild, temporary side effects such as redness, dryness, stinging, burning, flaking, peeling, and mild swelling to occur. A Power Peel chemical peel treatment is non-invasive and there is not much downtime – it takes around four to seven days to recover from a light peel. However, it will be important to follow your provider’s aftercare instructions carefully.
The skin will be more sensitive to sunlight for a while, so patients should apply a physical, broad-spectrum sunscreen that is above SPF 30 every day, reduce the time they spend exposed to sunlight, wear sunglasses and wide-brimmed hats to protect their skin, and avoid exposure during peak hours. Medium and deep chemical peels require a longer recovery time.
