If your skin looks dull, sun-damaged, or uneven, you might be wondering: what is a chemical peel, and what can it do for me? Chemical peels are a trusted, results-driven treatment that can visibly rejuvenate your skin by encouraging cell turnover and revealing the fresher, healthier skin beneath.
We offer personalized chemical peel treatments designed to address your specific concerns—from fine lines to pigmentary changes—using evidence-based techniques and decades of esthetic expertise. Here’s what to know about this powerful skin-renewing treatment.
A chemical peel is a professional treatment that uses a solution of carefully selected acids to remove dead skin cells, stimulate collagen production, and smooth the skin’s texture. Depending on the strength and formulation, peels can target a wide range of concerns—like sun damage, pigmentation, breakouts, and visible signs of aging.
So, what do chemical peels do? Quite simply, they reset the surface of your skin. By encouraging old, damaged cells to shed, peels reveal a brighter, more even, and youthful complexion.
Not all chemical peels are the same. We guide you through a customized consultation to determine which type is right for your skin goals and lifestyle. Here’s a closer look at the three levels:
These are sometimes called superficial peels and are ideal for refreshing the skin with minimal to no downtime. Light peels can help with:
Expect some slight dryness or flaking in the days following treatment. Many clients choose light peels as part of their regular skincare maintenance.
These peels penetrate deeper into the skin and are suitable for more noticeable concerns, such as:
You may experience peeling that lasts a few days, with visible improvement in skin clarity and smoothness after healing.
Deep chemical peels go beneath the surface layers to treat more advanced skin issues, including:
These peels involve more downtime, but the results can be dramatic and long-lasting. Deep chemical peels are generally only performed by physicians. Some require sedation and monitoring in an operating room setting. Ablative laser resurfacing has become a more common treatment modality than deep chemical peels, but deep peels are still used in some cases.
If you’re curious about achieving smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin, a chemical peel could be an ideal option. Whether you’re looking for a gentle refresh or a more intensive resurfacing, we’ll help you choose the right path forward.
