Chemical Peel

Skin resurfacing to improve tone, texture, and clarity

A chemical peel is a professional resurfacing treatment that exfoliates the outer layers of the skin to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion. Peels can be customized in strength and formula to address acne, discoloration, texture, fine lines, and dullness.

Common Treatment Areas

Acne and congestion

Hyperpigmentation and uneven tone

Rough texture and dullness

Fine lines and early aging

Post-inflammatory discoloration (select cases)

How It Works

A controlled chemical solution is applied to the skin to loosen and lift damaged outer layers. As the skin sheds, new skin appears more even and refined. The depth of the peel and downtime vary by formula and skin type.

What to Expect

  • Appointment time: 30-45 minutes
  • Sensation: tingling, warmth, or stinging during treatment is common
  • Downtime: varies; light flaking to visible peeling for 7-14 days depending on peel depth
  • Results: improved clarity and smoothness as peeling resolves
  • Series: often recommended for acne, pigment, and texture goals

Consultation and Treatment Planning

We’ll select the right peel based on your skin type, goals, and history of pigment sensitivity. Because sun exposure and active products affect outcomes, we’ll plan timing carefully and create a supportive pre- and post-care routine.

Pre-Treatment Recommendations

  •  Avoid retinoids/exfoliants for the period recommended by your provider
  • Avoid significant sun exposure and tanning
  • Disclose history of cold sores; antiviral prophylaxis may be recommended
  • Skin Cleanliness: Arrive with clean, makeup-free skin for proper assessment.
  • Eligibility: Clients who are pregnant or breastfeeding are not eligible for treatment.

Aftercare Guidelines

To support optimal results, we typically recommend:

  • Do not pick or peel skin manually
  • Avoid heat, sweating, and strenuous exercise for several days as directed
  • Strict sun avoidance and daily broad-spectrum SPF are required
  • Avoid retinoids/acids/benzoyl peroxide for at least 2 weeks or as directed



  •  Use gentle cleanser and moisturizer; avoid active ingredients as directed

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions and helpful information about this treatment.

  • Will I peel?

    Not always. Some peels cause light flaking; others cause more visible peeling. We’ll set expectations based on the formula used.

  • Is it safe for darker skin tones?

    It can be, with careful product selection and aftercare. We tailor protocols to reduce hyperpigmentation risk.

  • How often can I get a peel?

    Frequency depends on peel type and your skin. Many patients do a series, then maintenance.

  • Can I combine peels with other treatments?

    Yes. We can sequence peels with injectables, microneedling, or lasers depending on timing and goals.
