Chemical Peels

Reveal fresh, glowing skin with our expert chemical peel treatments. Designed to exfoliate and rejuvenate, chemical peels help improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation. Achieve a smoother, brighter complexion with our personalized care.

Chemical Peels: Renew, refresh, reveal

Chemical peels use a custom blend of exfoliating solutions to gently remove dead skin cells and stimulate new cell growth. As the skin renews itself, texture and tone visibly improve, revealing a clearer, more youthful glow.

How it Works

About the Treatment

Our chemical peel includes lactic acid and salicylic acid, and is used to treat:

  • blackheads/comedones and blocked pores
  • improves irregular pigmentation of the skin
  • treats superficial signs of sun damage
  • improves skin smoothness and texture
  • improves skin tone and glow

The treatment cannot treat deep scarring, broken blood vessels, wrinkles, or age spots.

Possible Risks, Side Effects, and Complications

You may temporarily feel tingling or stinging when the solution is applied. It is also normal to have mild pinkness of the skin for up to 24 hours after the peel is applied.

Very rarely, blisters, crusting, scabbing, or increased skin sensitivity can occur.

Even more rarely, it may cause changes in your skin pigmentation (darker or lighter skin) or scarring.

Precautions and Warnings
  • For 1 week before and 1 week after treatment, STOP:
    • electrolysis, waxing, depilatories, masks, other peels, or dermabrasion
    • skin products with retinol, or prescription retinoid medications (tretinoin, adapalene, tazarotene, or trifarotene)
    • hair dyes, permanent wave/straightening treatments
    • use of a loofah or exfoliating sponges
  • Do not do a treatment if your skin is wounded, sunburned, or excessively sensitive.
  • Let your provider know if you have any allergies, especially salicylates (aspirin), sensitive skin, cold sores, sun sensitivity, eczema, lupus, or autoimmune diseases, inflammatory rosacea, or if you are pregnant or actively breastfeeding.
  • Protect your skin from the sun – use a sunscreen with a high SPF.
Aftercare
  • Immediately after treatment, your skin might be pink, red, swollen, or be slightly uncomfortable/sore. This will usually go away within 4 to 24 hours.
  • Do not pick, peel, scrape, scratch, or wax your skin. This can cause discoloration and scarring.

    • Avoid the use of tanning beds completely.

Your skin may feel slightly tight or warm for a few hours, followed by light peeling or flaking for several days. You’ll see noticeably smoother, brighter skin once the exfoliation is complete.
