Chemical Peel at Rivière Med Spa Portland Oregon is a treatment that is time tested recipe for revealing new skin. We have a custom-made peel that we use for this treatment which helps peel your skin and start the process of skin-rejuvenation. To improve results, we also combine Chemical peel with other treatments such as microneedling.
For starters, a chemical peel is a technique used to improve the appearance of the skin on the face, neck or hands. In this treatment a chemical solution is applied to the skin that causes it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. The new, rejuvenated skin is usually smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin. The new skin is also temporarily more sensitive to the sun so sun-protection is required as a post-care for this treatment. There are three basic types of chemical peels:
CHEMICAL PEEL TYPES
Superficial or lunchtime peel: Alpha-hydroxy acid or another mild acid is used to penetrate only the outer layer of skin to gently exfoliate it. The treatment is used to improve the appearance of mild skin discoloration and rough skin as well as to refresh the face, neck, chest or hands. This is a great option for busy people who are always on the go and cannot take social down time. That is the reason why this is also referred to as a “lunchtime peel”.
Medium peel: Glycolic or trichloroacetic acid is applied to penetrate the out and middle layers of skin to remove damaged skin cells. The treatment is used to improve age spots, fine lines and wrinkles, freckles and moderate skin discoloration. It also can be used to smooth rough skin and treat some precancerous skin growths, i.e. actinic keratosis. Rivière Med Spa mostly focuses on these types of peel
Deep peel: Trichloroacetic acid or phenol is applied to deeply penetrate the middle layer of skin to remove damaged skin cells. The treatment removes moderate lines, age spots, freckles and shallow scars. Clients will see a dramatic improvement in skin appearance. The procedure is used on the face and only can be performed once. We usually do not use Deep peel at Rivière Med Spa as it is very disruptive and requires significant social down time.
The following picture shows how the skin peels off in a few days after the application of the peel. Our clients can see in this picture also how the new skin is revealed from behind. Sun protection is essential as the new skin is very sensitive to the sun.

Chemical Peels are a great option for people with skin of color. There is an outstanding myth that peels do not work for people with darker skin tone. We are adding a link from American Society for Dermologic Surgery on darker skin and Chemical Peel efficacy.
QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE
A chemicalpeel is when a chemical solution is applied to the skin for a period of time to do a deep chemical exfoliation of the surface of the skin. Chemicalpeels can help with fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne, texture, and pore size.
Chemical is suitable for any client. A chemical peel cannot be applied if there are pre-existing skin conditions that need to be rectified first.
A chemical peel removes the old skin and starts the process of regeneration of new skin layer
Your skin is going to feel tight and dry, similar to a sunburn. For 24 hours after your peel it is important to not take any hot showers, do any intensive workouts to avoid inducing more heat to the area. On day three, your skin may start peeling. It is very important to not pick at the peeling and to let it slough off on its own. Keeping your skin hydrated will help the peeling be less apparent. It is also very important to avoid sun exposure and to wear SPF.
Most peel treatments are between $100-$200.

Great experience! The spa looked very clean and sanitary. They offered me a sparkling water when I arrived and a clean mask to wear on my freshly injected face as I left. This was my first time getting injections and Rachael was really great about listening to my goals and letting me know what I need to achieve them. I love the results and looking forward to my next appointment.

My initial laser hair removal treatment used a machine with a cryo blast for cooling. I had a reaction to the cryo and talked to Riviére about it afterward. They could not have been more kind and sincere. I expressed my hesitancy to come back for follow-up treatments but they were very reassuring based on new equipment that did not use cryo. Not only that but they said this new machine was pain-free. They offered a test area to prove their words so I returned. I am so glad that I did. The new machine truly is painless hair removal. Unbelievable ! It has me referring everyone I know as well as considering other areas for hair removal. Not only is the machine pain-free but the staff is professional and understanding. They have experience with the tools and services they offer so they can speak openly and honestly from a client’s perspective. And they treat you like a VIP which is always nice.

I’ve been looking for a HydraFacial spot near me and was so happy my friend suggested Riviére. They are quick, efficient and so friendly. I was way overdue for a facial and felt so refreshed afterward. Highly recommend!

I went to Rivière Med Spa for fillers to just even out my lips. Not only did the team and Tina listen to my concerns and wants, but completely exceeded my expectations. With simple, natural changes, there was a huge impact on my face! Not only will I be going back for filler, but other services as well now! Thank you Rivière for a wonderful experience!
