Chemical peels are highly customizable and are used to treat multiple conditions including acne scars, age spots, discoloration, fine lines and wrinkles, melasma and even rosacea. The three major classifications of chemical peels are light or superficial, medium depth, and deep chemical peel. Within those classifications, there are four common types of peels: Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) peels (glycolic, lactic), Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) peels (salicylic), Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA) and Phenol peels.

Though ingredients between chemical peels can vary greatly, they all follow the same premise — remove the tops layers of skin via chemical exfoliation. At your consultation, one of our highly trained providers will assess your skin type, concerns, ability for downtime, and desired aesthetic outcome to help you determine which peel is right for you.

In the days following your treatment, skin in the treated area will begin to peel and flake off – even though it's tempting, DO NOT peel any of these flakes off (you can trim them with scissors). Depending on the type and intensity of your chemical peel, your skin will continue to peel and flake for 5-10 days. As soon as peeling subsides, your results will be visible!

The recommended frequency of chemical peels varies greatly depending on the type and intensity of the peel. In general, we recommend light chemical peels monthly, medium depth chemical peels every 4-6 months, and deep chemical peels every 1-2 years. At your consultation, one of our highly trained providers will assess your skin type, concerns, ability for downtime, and desired aesthetic outcome to help you determine which peel is right for you, and the recommended frequency of treatments.

Because the type and intensity of chemical peels vary greatly, so does the duration of results. At your consultation, one of our trusted providers will assess your skin type, concerns, ability for downtime, and desired aesthetic outcome to help you determine which peel is right for you, and estimate the duration of results.

The price of chemical peels varies greatly depending on the type and intensity of the peel. At your consultation, one of our trusted providers will assess your skin type, concerns, ability for downtime, and desired aesthetic outcome to help you determine which peel is right for you, and provide you with a more accurate quote.

Topical numbing cream will be applied to the treatment area ~30 minutes prior to beginning treatment. When the peel is applied, you will likely feel a slight burning, tingling sensation on the skin for 3-5 minutes. This sensation subsides once the peel is neutralized. The mild discomfort – if any – is quick, and so worth it!
