A chemical peel is a controlled exfoliation treatment that uses a blend of medical-grade acids to remove damaged skin cells and stimulate healthy cell turnover. As the outer layers shed, new, smoother skin emerges, helping improve tone, texture, clarity, and overall radiance.
Chemical peels can improve discoloration, melasma, sun damage, acne, post-acne marks, uneven texture, enlarged pores, and fine lines. They are a versatile option for brightening the complexion and restoring a more even skin tone.
Most people begin peeling 1 to 3 days after treatment, with exfoliation lasting about 5 to 7 days. Mild redness, dryness, or tightness is normal. Using gentle skincare and sun protection helps support a smooth recovery.
Yes. When the correct formulation is chosen, chemical peels are safe and effective for darker skin tones. Medium-depth blended peels are often preferred because they lift pigment while minimizing the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Check out the VI Peel®, which is great for all skin types.
Many people notice improvement in brightness and texture within one week, with continued clarity and evening of pigmentation over the following weeks as the skin regenerates.
Most chemical peels can be repeated every 4 to 6 weeks, depending on your goals, skin sensitivity, and the type of peel used. A series of treatments typically provides the best results for discoloration and texture concerns.
During the peel, you may feel warmth, tingling, or a light stinging sensation. This is temporary and resolves quickly. Discomfort is generally minimal with superficial and medium-depth peels.
Yes. Chemical peels pair well with neuromodulators and dermal fillers, as they target different layers of the skin. Combination therapy can enhance overall rejuvenation while maintaining natural results.
Often layered with peels — Botox softens expression while a peel refines surface tone and texture.
Peels work the surface; filler works the structure. We sequence them across visits for a more complete plan.
