What is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a professional skin treatment that uses a solution of exfoliating acids to safely remove the top layer of dead and damaged skin cells. This process encourages fresh, healthy skin to surface, helping to improve texture, tone, and overall clarity. Chemical peels range from mild to more intensive and can be tailored to address specific concerns such as acne, pigmentation, fine lines, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. By stimulating cell turnover and collagen production, chemical peels leave the skin looking smoother, brighter, and more youthful.
We offer a variety of professional chemical peels to target common skin concerns such as acne, pigmentation, fine lines, uneven tone, and dull texture. Each peel is tailored to your skin type and goals—whether you’re looking for a gentle refresh or deeper resurfacing for more visible results.
How does it work?
Chemical peels work by exfoliating the top layers of skin, removing dead cells and stimulating new cell growth. This helps to:
- Unclog pores and reduce breakouts
- Fade dark spots, sun damage, and pigmentation
- Smooth fine lines and rough texture
- Brighten dull, tired-looking skin
- Improve overall tone, clarity, and radiance
What Does It Feel Like:?
During the treatment, a solution is applied to the skin that may cause a mild tingling, warming, or tightening sensation—this is completely normal and usually lasts only a few minutes. The strength of the peel and sensation will vary depending on the type used. Most peels are comfortable and well-tolerated, and your practitioner will ensure your skin stays safe and supported throughout.
What are the results?
Results can be seen after just one session, with skin appearing smoother, clearer, and more radiant. For concerns like acne or pigmentation, a course of 3–6 treatments spaced a few weeks apart is recommended for optimal, long-lasting results. Some light peeling or flaking may occur in the days following treatment as fresh, healthy skin is revealed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Chemical peels are suitable for a wide range of concerns including acne, pigmentation, fine lines, sun damage, uneven texture, and dullness. Whether you’re looking for a subtle refresh or to address specific skin issues, there’s likely a peel that suits your needs. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin and recommend the best peel and treatment plan for your goals.
Most clients feel a mild tingling, stinging, or warming sensation during the treatment, which usually lasts just a few minutes. Discomfort is typically minimal and well-tolerated. Stronger peels may create more intense sensations, but your practitioner will monitor your skin closely throughout the process to ensure your comfort.
Recovery time varies based on the depth of the peel:
Superficial peels (e.g. glycolic, lactic, mandelic): Minimal downtime, with slight redness or dryness for 1–2 days.
Medium-depth peels (e.g. TCA, Jessner): Peeling and redness may last 3–7 days.
Deep peels: Require longer recovery and are typically performed in clinical or medical settings.
After any peel, it’s crucial to follow aftercare instructions and avoid sun exposure and use a broad spectrum SPF50.
For mild concerns or skin maintenance, even one peel can offer a visible glow. For more targeted results (like treating acne, pigmentation, or aging), a course of 3–6 peels spaced 2–4 weeks apart is usually recommended. Your practitioner will tailor a plan based on your skin condition and goals.
