About This Treatment

What Are Chemical Peels?

A chemical peel is a controlled exfoliation treatment that uses specific acid solutions to remove damaged outer layers of skin. This stimulates the skin's natural healing process, producing new skin that is smoother, less wrinkled, and more even in tone.

Also known as: skin peel, acid peel, glycolic peel, salicylic acid peel, TCA peel, medical-grade peel, brightening peel, pigmentation peel, acne peel, anti-aging peel, lunchtime peel, VI Peel

The Process

How Does It Work?

1

Skin Assessment

Our team evaluates your skin type, concerns, and history to select the ideal peel formulation and strength.

2

Preparation

The skin is thoroughly cleansed and degreased to ensure even peel penetration.

3

Application

The peel solution is carefully applied in layers. You may feel tingling or warmth as the acids work.

4

Neutralization

The peel is neutralized and removed at the appropriate time based on your skin's response.

5

Recovery

Post-peel care instructions are provided. Peeling occurs over 3-7 days depending on the depth of the peel.

6

Reveal

Once peeling is complete, your new skin is smoother, brighter, and more even-toned. A series of peels provides the best cumulative results.
