About Chemical Peels
How Chemical Peels Work
A chemical solution is applied to the skin, causing the outer layers to exfoliate and eventually peel off. As the skin heals, new skin grows in that is typically smoother and more even in tone. Peels are categorized by depth: light (superficial) peels target the outermost layer using mild acids like glycolic or salicylic acid, medium peels penetrate deeper using trichloroacetic acid, and deep peels reach further into the skin using stronger formulations. The depth determines both the results and the recovery time.
Who It's For
Chemical peels are commonly chosen by people looking to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, even out skin tone, minimize acne scarring, and address sun damage or age spots. Light peels are suitable for most skin types. Medium and deep peels may not be appropriate for all skin tones and require evaluation by a qualified provider.
What to Expect
A light peel session typically takes 15 to 30 minutes. You may feel a mild tingling or stinging during application. After a light peel, expect minor redness and flaking for a few days. Medium peels involve more noticeable peeling and redness lasting up to a week. Deep peels require longer recovery, potentially two weeks or more, with significant peeling and sensitivity. Your provider will recommend the appropriate peel depth based on your skin concerns and type.
