What it is
A chemical peel applies a controlled cosmetic solution — typically acids such as glycolic, lactic or salicylic — to gently exfoliate the skin. By encouraging the outer layers to shed, a peel reveals fresher skin underneath and supports a smoother, more even-looking complexion over time. Peels range from light and superficial to deeper formulations.
Benefits
Chemical peels are commonly used to help improve the look of discoloration and uneven tone, support clearer acne-prone skin, refine rough or dull texture, and soften the appearance of fine lines. Because strength and downtime vary, your treatment can be dialed in — from a gentle 'lunchtime' refresh to a more resurfacing peel — based on your goals and your skin's tolerance.
Who it's for
Peels can be customized for many skin types and concerns. Candidacy, skin prep and aftercare all matter — especially for sensitive skin or skin of color, where formula selection and technique help reduce the risk of irritation or post-inflammatory pigmentation. We start with a consultation to choose the right approach and, when helpful, a short prep routine before treatment.
What to expect
After cleansing, your provider applies the peel and monitors your skin, often in timed layers. You may notice warmth, tingling or mild stinging during application. Lighter peels take just minutes with minimal downtime; deeper peels take longer and resurface more. Many concerns respond best to a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart.
Recovery & aftercare
Recovery depends on peel depth. Superficial peels may cause slight redness or light flaking for a day or two, while medium-depth peels can involve several days of visible peeling. Keep skin hydrated with gentle products, avoid picking or exfoliating, skip heat and heavy sweat for about 48 hours, and wear daily broad-spectrum SPF 30+ while limiting sun exposure. We'll provide aftercare tailored to your peel.
Frequently asked questions
Most patients feel warmth, tingling or mild stinging during the peel, which is temporary. Lighter peels are very comfortable; deeper peels are more intense. Your provider monitors your skin throughout for comfort and safety.
Peels can be appropriate for many skin tones when the formula, strength and aftercare are chosen carefully. For sensitive skin and skin of color, proper candidacy assessment and skin prep help reduce the risk of irritation or post-inflammatory pigmentation — which is why we always begin with a consultation.
Some patients notice a fresher look within days, while improvements in tone, texture and discoloration build gradually over a series. Results vary by individual, so we don't guarantee specific outcomes — we build a plan around your skin goals.
