Chemical Peels

Light and medium-depth peels for brightness, texture and pigment, with the peeling days planned around your calendar.

Peels chosen and layered for your skin

A chemical peel is a carefully timed acid solution applied to the skin to loosen the outermost dead cells and prompt fresh renewal underneath. Light peels brighten and smooth with little or no visible peeling, while medium-depth peels reach deeper for pigment and texture with about a week of flaking.

Our aesthetician starts light and adjusts strength one step at a time based on how your skin responds. Most of the result comes from the week after the peel, so every appointment ends with a written home routine on a single card.

Peels are often combined with other treatments across a season. A light peel a week or two before a laser session can help prepare the skin, and a series of peels between IPL sessions keeps tone even. Your aesthetician will map this out so treatments never overlap in a way that makes your skin more sensitive than it needs to be.

Kind words about chemical peels

Portrait of Grace L.

“After two peels with Marisol my skin feels smoother and my makeup sits better. She gave me a short routine on one card instead of a bag of products.”

“I was nervous about looking frozen. Brynn used less than I expected, booked me back two weeks later, and my sister only noticed that I looked rested. That was exactly what I wanted.”

“Danielle tested a small patch first and walked me through the whole calendar for my laser series. The clinic runs on time, and nobody tried to sell me a package I did not need.”

Chemical Peels FAQs

Will I peel a lot?

Light peels usually cause little or no visible peeling. Medium-depth peels bring about five to seven days of flaking.

Can I have a peel if I use retinoids?

Usually, after a pause of about five days. We will tell you exactly when to stop and restart.

How often can I have a peel?

Light peels every four to six weeks, medium-depth peels a few months apart.

Who should wait?

We postpone peels with active cold sores, sunburn, recent waxing of the face, pregnancy for some formulas, or recent isotretinoin use.
