Chemical Peel — Customized Resurfacing for Smoother, Clearer Skin

What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a professional treatment that applies a customized blend of exfoliating acids to the skin to encourage the surface layer to shed and renew. As older, damaged cells are removed, fresher skin is revealed underneath — often looking smoother, brighter, and more even in tone.

Peels range from light, lunchtime-style treatments with little to no downtime through to deeper formulations that involve more visible flaking and recovery. Because strength and ingredients vary widely, a proper skin assessment is essential — the goal is meaningful results with no unnecessary risk.

What a Chemical Peel Can Help With

• Uneven texture — smooths rough, dull, or bumpy-feeling skin.
• Uneven tone — softens the look of discoloration and patchiness for a more even complexion.
• Acne-prone skin — helps clear congestion and refine the appearance of breakout-prone areas.
• Fine lines — encourages renewal that can soften the look of early signs of aging.
• Dullness — reveals fresher, brighter-looking skin underneath.
• A smoother canvas — many clients enjoy more even-looking, makeup-ready skin.

Downtime, Aftercare & Who It's For

• Downtime varies by peel: lighter peels may cause mild flaking and little to no social downtime, while deeper peels involve more visible peeling and recovery.
• Avoid picking or peeling flaking skin — let it shed naturally to protect the new skin underneath.
• Wear a broad-spectrum SPF daily and limit sun exposure; skin is more sensitive after a peel.
• Pause retinoids, acids, and exfoliating scrubs until we advise it's safe to resume.
• Peels aren't suitable for everyone — tell us if you're pregnant, recently sunburned, or using certain medications so we can advise.
