The Treatment

What is Chemical Peels?

A chemical peel applies a professional exfoliating solution to the skin to loosen and remove dead surface cells. As the skin renews, it may look smoother, brighter, and more even.

Peels range from very light, with little visible peeling, to stronger formulations with more downtime. Your provider selects a peel based on your skin and goals.

Common cosmetic concerns

  • Dull or uneven skin tone
  • The appearance of sun damage or dark spots
  • Rough texture
  • Congested pores and breakouts
  • Fine lines

How it works

  • Skin is cleansed and prepped to remove oil.
  • The peel solution is applied in layers for a set time while your provider monitors the skin.
  • The peel is neutralized or removed as directed, and soothing products and sunscreen are applied.

Your Visit

Before, during, and after

  1. Before

    Your consultation reviews your skin type, sensitivities, medications, and recent treatments. You may be asked to stop retinoids or exfoliants for several days beforehand.

  2. During

    Most clients feel tingling, warmth, or a brief stinging sensation. A fan may be used for comfort.

  3. After

    Depending on the peel, you may notice tightness, redness, or flaking over several days. Do not pick at peeling skin. Daily sunscreen and gentle skin care are essential.

Safety

Risks, limitations, and who should wait

Your consultation reviews your health history to confirm this treatment is appropriate for you.

Possible side effects and limitations

  • Redness, stinging, tightness, and flaking
  • Temporary sensitivity to sun
  • Changes in pigmentation, especially in deeper skin tones or with sun exposure
  • Cold sore flare in susceptible individuals
  • Rarely, irritation, infection, or scarring

May not be appropriate if you have

  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding (for certain peel ingredients)

  • Active infection, open wounds, or sunburn in the area
  • Allergy to peel ingredients, such as aspirin sensitivity for salicylic peels

Individual results vary. Aesthetic treatments are cosmetic and are not a substitute for medical care. No specific outcome is guaranteed, and some concerns may need a series of sessions or may be better suited to another treatment.
