Let’s dive into the world of medical-grade chemical peels, shall we?
The Process and Treatment—
The treatment involves applying a solution (to the face, neck, chest, or back) to remove damaged skin cells and stimulate a fresher, younger looking complexion. When the dull, damaged surface layer of your skin is removed, new healthier cells grow in its place.
There are different types of chemical peels that use different types of acids. Some acids are stronger than others, our provider will help you understand the differences and suggest the peel that works best for your skin type and concerns.
On average, chemical peels can take between 30 to 90 mins depending on the type of peel and the number of layers being applied. Depending on the strength of your peel, you may feel a tiny warming sensation throughout the application. You can expect little to no downtime for our peels. You should avoid the sun and any active skin care ingredients (retinol, vitamin c, etc.) until your skin is fully healed.
The Faq
-
There are many different types of chemical peels, and the strength of the peel depends on the kind of solution used.
The most common acids used in chemical peels are:
glycolic acid
lactic acid
salicylic acid
trichloroacetic acid.
Glycolic acid is the weakest of these acids, while trichloroacetic acid is the strongest.
Just so you know, even the strongest chemical peel can only reach the top layer of your skin. That’s why it’s super important to chat with our providers and figure out which peel is the perfect match for you!
-
Very superficial to deep treatments can be performed every two weeks, while more aggressive ones need a more extended waiting period.
However, this will depend on your unique skin type and condition that you are trying to fix; there is no one-size-fits-all solution because it will vary by how severe the damage or issue with tolerability.

Before your peel:
Avoid unprotected sun exposure. Too much sun exposure before the procedure can cause permanent irregular pigmentation in treated areas. Discuss sun protection and acceptable sun exposure.
Avoid specific cosmetic treatments and certain types of hair removal.
About a week before the peel, avoid facial masks, or scrubs.
