What Are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are professional treatments that exfoliate the skin’s surface to reduce blemishes, smooth texture, and restore a healthy glow. By promoting cell turnover, they help improve fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and discoloration. Peels vary in strength and use ingredients like AHAs for aging and dullness, BHAs for acne and pores, and TCA for deeper skin concerns like sun damage and pigmentation. For example, the SkinCeuticals Smart TCA Peel combines 15% TCA and 3% glycolic acid to target more advanced signs of aging. Performed by licensed skincare experts, chemical peels deliver visible results and can be paired with homecare products for even better outcomes.

Chemical Peel Results

Results depend on the type and strength of the chemical peel used. Most patients notice firmer skin, fewer wrinkles, smoother texture, and a more even skin tone—resulting in a refreshed, youthful appearance. Light peels may deliver visible improvements within a week, while deeper peels typically show optimal results over one to two months.

*Individual results may vary.

Who Are Chemical Peels For?

The type and depth of a chemical peel are determined by factors such as skin condition, Fitzpatrick skin type (which reflects skin color and sensitivity to sun), and the client’s skincare habits. Typically, individuals with higher Fitzpatrick skin types require more caution to avoid pigmentation issues. Chemical peels are generally not recommended for those with highly sensitive skin or conditions like eczema or psoriasis, where the skin barrier is compromised.

What Type of Chemical Peel is Right for Me?

Chemical peels are classified by their depth of penetration into the skin: superficial, medium, or deep. The right peel for you will depend on your skin type, concerns, Fitzpatrick skin type, and skincare routine. After a consultation with our medical esthetician, we’ll recommend the best peel to help you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Chemical Peel Recovery

As your skin sheds its outer layers to reveal fresh, rejuvenated skin, some redness and peeling are normal. The extent of peeling depends on the strength of the peel: light peels usually require only a few days of recovery, while medium peels can take one to two weeks, and deep peels involve a longer healing time.

You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to support optimal recovery. If discomfort occurs, oral pain medication may be recommended. Daily sunscreen use is essential to protect your skin from sun exposure, which could lead to complications such as infection or scarring.

*Individual recovery experiences may vary.
