Chemical Peel
Facial chemical peels are a great option for those looking to address a variety of skin concerns, from fine lines and wrinkles, to reducing hyperpigmentation, to addressing acne scars or uneven skin tone. This process stimulates new skin growth, resulting in smoother, healthier looking skin.
You've likely seen alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) in numerous skincare products, touted for their exfoliating and anti-wrinkle properties. These compounds, found in cleansers, toners, and serums, work to unclog pores, diminish their appearance, and slough away dead skin cells. In a chemical peel treatment, these same AHAs and BHAs are present but in higher concentrations, facilitating more potent exfoliation and renewal of the skin. This intensified formula accelerates the process, resulting in healthier looking skin.
If you are looking for smoother, more radiant, and evenly toned skin, a chemical peel is an effective solution for addressing various skin concerns, and with little to no down time. Book a free consultation with us to determine if a chemical peel treatment is right for you!

During a chemical peel treatment, a solution is applied to the skin which contains either AHA/BHA (alpha and beta-hydroxy-acid), or salicylic, glycolic, or lactic acid, depending on the skin concern. This chemical solution causes controlled damage to the outer layers of the skin, stimulating the skin to exfoliate and shed off the dead or damaged skin cells. This peeling process begins a few days to a few weeks after treatment depending on the depth of the peel. Once this layer sheds, newer, healthier skin is revealed from underneath as new skin cells replace old ones. This process can also stimulate collagen production, improving skin texture and firmness over time.

Most chemical peel treatments are applied to the face, where patients may experience the most skin concerns such as hyperpigmentation, uneven texture, or wrinkles. However, it can also be applied to the neck, chest, hands, back, or bottocks to improve skin tone, texture, and firmness as well.

Chemical peels offer transformative results by improving skin tone, texture, and clarity. Depending on the peel type, you can expect brighter, smoother skin, reduced discoloration, minimized wrinkles, and improved acne scars. Deep peels can even address severe sun damage and deep wrinkles, delivering dramatic, long-lasting results.
Recovery varies based on the depth of the peel. Light peels require minimal downtime, with mild redness or flaking lasting 1-7 days. Medium peels may involve redness and peeling for up to two weeks, while deep peels require 2-3 weeks of healing, with redness potentially lasting longer. All peels necessitate proper aftercare, including hydration, avoiding harsh products, and diligent sun protection to ensure optimal results.

Chemical peels are well-suited for clients dealing with acne, sun damage, pigmentation, or uneven texture and tone. They’re also a helpful option when the goal is to support overall skin health and cell turnover. That said, not every skin type is appropriate for every peel, which is why we always start with a consultation to assess skin condition, lifestyle, and treatment history before recommending a plan.

Like any clinical treatment, chemical peels come with some risks and potential side effects. The most common include redness, dryness, mild peeling, or sensitivity in the days following treatment. These effects are temporary and expected. In some cases, especially with deeper peels or incorrect aftercare, there’s a risk of hyperpigmentation, prolonged irritation, or uneven healing. We assess each client’s skin carefully and take a conservative, customized approach to minimize these risks and ensure a safe outcome. Clear aftercare instructions are always provided.

Results from a chemical peel can last several weeks to a few months, depending on the type of peel, your skin concerns, and how well you care for your skin afterward. Lighter peels offer a more subtle refresh and may need to be repeated regularly, while deeper peels can produce longer-lasting results. We recommend ongoing maintenance and proper at-home care to preserve and extend your outcome.
