Chemical Peels
Am I a candidate?Over time, dead skin cells build up on your skin, causing dullness, flaking, and texture. You may be prone to dry skin, or you may find that your skin doesn’t quite look like it used to as you age. One of the best ways to give your skin a refresh is with a professional chemical peel.
For more radiant, glowing skin, it’s important to exfoliate and encourage skin cell turnover. There are two forms of exfoliation: chemical and physical. While physical exfoliation has its place, it is oftentimes too abrasive for inflamed or sensitive skin. Chemical peels in Oklahoma City are a more gentle approach.
They use professional-grade ingredients to exfoliate away dead skin cells for restored, beautiful skin. Renew Wellness & Aesthetics is proud to offer the ZO® Stimulator Peel, ZO® 3 Step Peel, and The Perfect Derma® Peel to treat all skin types, ethnicities, and skin depths.

The Chemical Peel Process
What to Expect
Consultation
Before your chemical peel in Oklahoma City, you'll meet with our licensed esthetician for a skin consultation. We will discuss your skin concerns, goals, and sensitivities to find the best chemical peel technique for you. Based on this consultation, we will create a personalized treatment plan for your needs, which will include at-home skin preparation for deeper peels.
Chemical Peel Treatment
Your provider will make sure you are comfortable and will begin by cleaning the treatment area. This is followed by degreasing the skin and applying the peel solution. After the peel, a soothing masque is applied to calm and cool the skin.
Results
Some peels, like our ZO® Glow & Go peel, reveal beautiful and radiant skin immediately after the treatment. Deeper peels may take 2 to 4 days to complete peeling and reveal your glow.
