A chemical peel is a professional skin resurfacing treatment that applies a specially formulated chemical solution to the skin to remove damaged outer layers and reveal healthier, more vibrant skin beneath.

During the procedure, your specialist selects a peel formulation based on your skin type, concerns, and desired results. The solution is applied to your cleansed skin, where it works to dissolve the bonds between dead and damaged skin cells. You may feel a tingling, warming, or mild stinging sensation as the peel activates. The treatment takes approximately 30 minutes.

Chemical peels are effective for addressing a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone, sun damage, mild acne scarring, rough texture, and dullness. By removing the compromised surface layers, the peel stimulates your skin’s natural renewal process, promoting the growth of fresh, new cells and boosting collagen production.

In the days following your treatment, you can expect some peeling and flaking as the old skin sheds. This is a normal and expected part of the process. The duration and intensity of peeling depends on the type and strength of the peel used. As the peeling subsides, your skin will appear smoother, brighter, and more evenly toned.

Sun protection is essential after a chemical peel, as your newly revealed skin is more sensitive to UV exposure. Your specialist will provide aftercare instructions to help you protect and maximize your results.

Chemical peels can be performed as a single treatment for an immediate refresh or as a series for more progressive results. Your specialist will recommend the best approach based on your skin’s needs and your aesthetic goals.
