What Are Chemical Peels?
A chemical peel is a powerful skin rejuvenation treatment that helps improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone. At Skin Script in Grapevine, TX, Yvonne Melnick uses professional-grade MTS US Peeling System products. These formulas are developed with advanced biotechnology and cutting-edge ingredients designed for safety, efficacy, and customizable results. The treatment gently exfoliates the outer layer of skin, promoting a smoother, more youthful complexion with minimal downtime. Whether you're seeking a light refresh or deeper resurfacing, Yvonne offers noninvasive treatments suited to your skin type and concerns using proven, high-performance solutions.
How Do Chemical Peels Work?
During your chemical peel session at Skin Script, you'll relax while your skin is carefully cleansed and prepared for treatment. Yvonne Melnick applies a customized solution from the MTS US Peeling System, using professional formulas that address specific skin concerns with ingredients like glycolic, salicylic, lactic, or trichloroacetic acid. These exfoliants work to dissolve damaged surface layers and stimulate healthy cell renewal below. Once the solution has taken effect, it is neutralized and gently removed to reveal smoother, more radiant skin. After your peel, wearing daily sunscreen is essential, as your skin will be more sensitive to sun exposure during the healing process.
What Are the Benefits of Chemical Peels?
Depending on the strength and type of chemical peel you choose, you can experience a variety of skin-enhancing benefits, such as:
- Reduction of fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage
- Improvement in skin tone and texture
- Minimized pores and fewer blemishes
- Brighter, more hydrated, and youthful-looking skin

Chemical Peel Aftercare
After a professional skin peel, proper care is essential to support healing and protect your results:
Gentle Cleansing
Use cool water and a fragrance-free, non-foaming cleanser. Avoid scrubbing or using washcloths on the treated area.
Hydration is Key
Apply a hydrating, fragrance-free moisturizer several times a day to maintain comfort and prevent dryness.
Sun Protection
Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily. Avoid direct sun exposure during the healing period.
Avoid Harsh Ingredients
Do not use exfoliants, retinoids, or strong acids for at least one week to prevent irritation.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water to support internal and external healing.
Avoid Over-Exfoliation
Let your skin peel naturally. Do not use scrubs or exfoliating tools until peeling is complete.
Avoid Heat and Sweat
Postpone workouts, saunas, hot tubs, and steam rooms until peeling subsides.
Stick to Provider Instructions
Always follow any additional care instructions given to you by your provider.
Soothing Options
Cool compresses and aloe vera gel may help relieve temporary irritation.
Pain Relief
Use over-the-counter pain relief if needed, but avoid medications that may thin the blood unless advised.
Do Not Pick or Peel
Let the skin slough off on its own. Picking can lead to scarring or pigmentation issues.
Delay Other Services
Avoid facials, lasers, or other treatments until your skin has fully healed and been evaluated by your provider.
