At Aledo Empowered Wellness, we are passionate about offering customized skincare solutions that empower our patients to look and feel their best. One of the most effective treatments for a range of skin concerns is chemical peels. This non-surgical option can help rejuvenate your skin, targeting issues like acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and more. If you’re in or around Aledo, TX, this guide will introduce you to the world of chemical peels.
What Are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are a type of resurfacing treatment that uses special topical solutions to exfoliate the skin. Unlike traditional exfoliation methods that rely on manual techniques like scrubbing or microdermabrasion, chemical peels gently remove the top layers of skin through a chemical process. This approach makes them particularly beneficial for people with sensitive or acne-prone skin, which can sometimes react poorly to physical exfoliation.
Chemical peels work by applying an acidic solution to the skin that causes the outermost layer to peel off, revealing fresh, smoother skin underneath. The exfoliation process also promotes skin cell turnover, helping to clear clogged pores, smooth rough textures, and even out the skin tone. Depending on the strength and ingredients of the peel, this treatment can address everything from minor skin imperfections to deeper wrinkles and hyperpigmentation.
Why Choose Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are highly customizable, which means they can be tailored to your specific skin care needs. Whether you’re looking for a gentle glow or a more intensive treatment to target deeper skin concerns, chemical peels provide an effective and non-surgical way to rejuvenate your skin. Patients often report noticeable improvements in their skin’s appearance, texture, and overall radiance after just one session.
At Aledo Empowered Wellness, we offer a range of chemical peels suitable for various skin types and concerns.
What Types of Chemical Peels Are Available at Aledo Empowered Wellness?
The Illuminize Peel
Ideal for those new to chemical peels or people with mild skin imperfections, the Illuminize Peel is our gentlest option. Often referred to as the “Red Carpet Peel,” this treatment delivers immediate radiance, leaving your skin glowing, refreshed, and hydrated. One of the major benefits of this peel is that it involves no downtime, so you can walk out of our clinic looking your best, without worrying about visible peeling or redness.
The Illuminize Peel is also suitable for those with sensitive skin, making it an excellent option for individuals prone to irritation. It can be administered as often as every two weeks by our licensed aesthetician or medical provider. To ensure the best results, it’s important to follow up with appropriate sun protection.

The Vitalize Peel
For individuals dealing with more significant skin concerns like fine lines, acne scarring, or hyperpigmentation, the Vitalize Peel offers a more intensive solution. This peel includes powerful ingredients such as salicylic acid, lactic acid, resorcinol, panthenol, saponins, and retinol. It works on a deeper level to address issues like sun damage, uneven skin tone, and melasma.
Unlike the Illuminize Peel, the Vitalize Peel may involve some peeling in the days following the treatment, but the results are well worth it. When performed in a series of 3 to 6 treatments spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart, this peel delivers significant skin improvements, helping to reverse the signs of aging and improve overall skin clarity. For those seeking a more powerful transformation, the Vitalize Peel is a game-changer.
What Can Chemical Peels Treat?
Chemical peels are an incredibly versatile treatment option, offering solutions for a variety of skin concerns:
Acne Scarring
One of the most common uses for chemical peels is the treatment of acne scars. The exfoliation process helps to remove damaged skin cells and stimulate collagen production, which can reduce the appearance of acne scars over time.
Hyperpigmentation
Chemical peels are highly effective in treating hyperpigmentation and melasma. The treatment works by sloughing off the outer layer of skin, which can help lighten dark spots and even out the skin tone.
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
For those looking to address signs of aging, chemical peels can minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the eyes and mouth. The skin that emerges after a peel is often smoother and more youthful in appearance.
Sun Damage
Exposure to UV rays can cause uneven pigmentation, sunspots, and a rough skin texture. Chemical peels help remove sun-damaged skin, promoting a more even complexion and smoother texture.
Enlarged Pores
Chemical peels can reduce the size of pores by exfoliating dead skin cells and unclogging the pores. This helps to create a smoother, more refined skin surface.

What to Expect from a Chemical Peel at Aledo Empowered Wellness
When you schedule a chemical peel at Aledo Empowered Wellness, you can expect the following:
Consultation
Your licensed aesthetician or medical provider will assess your skin type and discuss your concerns to determine which type of peel is best suited for you.
Application
The chemical solution will be carefully applied to your skin. You may feel a slight tingling or warm sensation as the peel works to exfoliate the outer layer.
Post-Treatment Care
Following your peel, your provider will guide you through aftercare, which may include moisturizing and sun protection to ensure optimal results.
Most patients experience minimal downtime, especially with our gentle Illuminize Peel. However, for more intensive treatments like the Vitalize Peel, you may notice some peeling over the next few days. This is a normal part of the process and leads to beautiful, rejuvenated skin.
