What are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels with trichloroacetic acid dissolve damaged skin cells, revealing a smoother complexion as your skin heals and rejuvenates.
A TCA peel treatment is a noninvasive option to make your complexion luminous and can be used for the neck and face. A Beauty by Blume professional TCA peel will give you healthier, more radiant skin. At our Fishers, IN office, Dr. Kristen Blume offers chemical peel treatments that help to minimize skin abnormalities, such as wrinkles, fine lines, scars, rough patches, hyperpigmentation issues, and more.
How are Chemical Peels Performed?
At your appointment at Beauty by Blume, we will have you lie down in a relaxed position to administer your treatment. We will ensure your skin is cleaned prior to applying the personalized solution to your face or neck. We will spread the solution onto the skin and allow it to work for an appropriate amount of time. Finally, we will clean the peel off your face and apply a neutralizing agent. You are encouraged to bring light sunscreen or a hat to wear outside following the treatment to protect from UV exposure.
What Should I Expect after Having A Chemical Peel?
Depending on the type of chemical peel you receive, your skin should peel and itch for several days to two or more weeks. Dr. Blume will discuss ways to treat your face during your appointment. Remember that no matter how badly your skin itches throughout recovery, it's not a good idea to pull the skin off. You could create scarring on your cause skin!

Dr.Blume is so nice, professional and knowledgeable. She is one of the doctors who know what they are doing! I would give her 10 stars not only 5. She is highly skilled in BOTOX, hair restoration, acne scar treatment, Dysport, chemical peels, and plasma skin resurfacing.
Dr. Blume is great!
I am so happy to have chosen Dr. Blume for my procedure. I was very nervous about attempting to remedy a beauty issue that has affected my self confidence for years. Dr. Blume was very professional, careful to address any questions, and genuinely both concerned *and* excited about my journey and the results achieved. She has a super upbeat, fun personality and was great at putting my mind at ease before, during, and post treatment …My experience was all I hoped for! Thank you Dr. Blume!

Am I a Candidate for a Chemical Peel?
Because chemical peels can be completely customized in terms of strength, active ingredients, and other factors, almost anyone can be considered a candidate for at least some types of chemical peels. However, there are certain conditions or skin issues – like active infections, pregnancy, and some skin types – that may not be suitable for treatment. Following a comprehensive skin assessment and consultation, our aesthetic specialists can recommend the safest and most appropriate chemical peel choice for you or, if necessary, and alternative.

Chemical Peel FAQs
What level should I choose for my chemical peel?
Which level of chemical peel is best for you will vary based on your specific skin issues and aesthetic goals. During your consultation with Dr. Blume, she can help you choose which chemical peel is best for your skin. Some things you may consider are your general health, your skin type, the depth of your skin concerns, how long you can spend in recovery, and what you want the peel to accomplish. For your first peel, it is recommended you select a lighter peel and see what you think of the results. From there, you and Dr. Blume might adjust your plan to discover the best type of peel for your needs.
Will my face hurt after a chemical peel?
Based on the formula selected, you might feel mild discomfort throughout the treatment and shortly after. If you choose a light peel, you may notice a little discomfort; however, it can be alleviated with a handheld fan. Deep or medium peels are good for deeper damage and give you longer-lasting results; however, they typically are more uncomfortable. Numbing cream, medications, and ointments can be applied to help you feel more comfortable during your chemical peel. Dr. Blume will explain post-treatment skin care to extend your results.
Can I combine a chemical peel with other treatments?
A chemical peel may be combined with another nonsurgical skin treatment at Beauty by Blume. In your consultation, feel free to be open with Dr. Blume when describing your skin problems so she can develop a comprehensive treatment plan that delivers your best results. Your plan might include an injectable treatment for wrinkles (such as BOTOX® or JUVÉDERM®) plus a chemical peel to rejuvenate your entire face.
How much does a chemical peel cost?
Once Dr. Blume has created your personalized treatment plan, she can discuss your costs during your consultation. The cost of a chemical peel can vary depending on the level you choose. Beauty by Blume accepts many payment methods, and we often run specials on skin treatments like chemical peels. You may also consider buying a package of several chemical peel treatments.
How does a chemical peel differ from a facial?
While chemical peels and facials aim to improve the skin's appearance, they differ in approach and intensity. A facial is a more general skin care treatment that includes cleansing, exfoliation, extraction, and hydration, providing a temporary boost to the skin's health and radiance. On the other hand, a chemical peel uses acids to deeply exfoliate and renew the skin, offering more significant and longer-lasting results. Chemical peels are particularly effective for treating specific skin concerns like wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and scars.
Can I wear makeup after a chemical peel?
It's generally recommended to avoid wearing makeup for at least 24 to 48 hours after a chemical peel, especially after medium or deep peels. This allows your skin to heal properly without irritation. Once the initial healing phase is complete, you can gradually resume using makeup. Opt for non-comedogenic and fragrance-free products to minimize the risk of irritation. Your provider at Beauty by Blume will give you specific guidelines based on the type of peel you receive.
