Oxygen Facial or Chemical Peel for Sensitive Skin
Is a Chemical Peel Better Than a Facial?
Kentucky winters are tough on skin—between the biting wind outside and the dry heat indoors, your complexion can easily feel dull and stripped. Many Kentuckians avoid aesthetic skin treatments due to concerns about downtime. This leads some to debate between which solutions are best for their skin.
At Modern Dermatology of Kentucky and Cosmetic Specialists, we prioritize safety and results. If you’re still unsure which treatment is right for you, visit us for a quick skin analysis and we can help you decide if a Glo2Facial with Oxfoliation™ or a gentle medical-grade peel is the right option for you.
Choosing Your Treatment: What is Oxygen Facial vs. Peel for Your Concerns?
Choosing between an oxygen-powered facial and a chemical peel depends on your goal: instant glow or lasting improvement?
To help you find your goal, we’ve outlined how each treatment solves specific problems.
If your skin feels tight or looks a little dull, start with a facial. Instead of scrubbing, a Glo2Facial with Oxfoliation™ goes straight to the core and releases bubbles that drive oxygen-rich blood to the surface of your skin. Oxygenation creates a CO2-rich skin environment, triggering the Bohr Effect, which sends oxygen-rich blood to the area. Hemoglobin then releases oxygen into the tissue. The result is oxygenated skin, boosted appearance, and a radiant glow. It’s basically a 'reset button' for those days when you need to look well-rested and glowing—and improves absorption of your treatments and overall rejuvenation. This treatment causes no irritation and provides immediate plumping and glow, making it a top cosmetic choice. Want an instant glow? Book your Glo2Facial in today.
For rough texture, fine lines, or acne, a chemical peel goes a bit deeper. It actually gets into your danaged skin to promote cellular growth by treating and exfoliating, unclogging pores, and smoothing fine lines—helping clear out and improve your texture for weeks.
The Benefits of a Chemical Peel for Sensitive Skin
Forget the old-school idea that chemical peels are too intense for sensitive skin. Our team specializes in refining, not stripping your complexion with peels perfect for any sensitivity. When done correctly, a peel is one of the best ways to build long-term skin health without the irritation you might expect.
We’ve hand-selected ingredients from PCA Skin that proves peels don't have to hurt. We drench dry skin in moisture while polishing the surface for a slow, steady, deep clean. These treatments are designed without causing redness, leaving you with smooth skin the moment you walk out the door. Let our specialists tailor your exfoliation treatment to show how gentle results can be.
How to Alternate a Chemical Peel for Sensitive Skin During the Winter
To get your glow back, we recommend a "reset and restore" approach. Start with a Chemical Peel to clear away buildup, then follow up later with an oxygen-powered facial to drench your skin in moisture and boost your skincare. End by layering skincare products afterward to keep that fresh skin shielded and active ingredients working.
