Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are exfoliating treatments that cause your skin to peel or flake to shed dead or damaged surface cells and reveal new and healthy skin in a process called cell turnover. By using chemical peels to kickstart cell turnover, your skin will appear fresh and free of the signs of aging, sun damage, dirt, and debris.
We offer PCA SKIN Peels and SkinCeuticals Peels.
PCA SKIN peels are even more advanced treatments that are scientifically formulated to gently stimulate, firm, and tighten skin. These progressive, in-office treatments are gentle and produce visible, proven results. Our aestheticians will assess your skin for the perfect PCA SKIN peel to give you a more beautiful, healthy complexion.
For more than a decade, SkinCeuticals has been developing advanced products for reversing the signs of aging, protecting healthy skin, and preventing future damage.
The SkinCeuticals range of skin peeling solutions provide benefits such as improved skin texture, brightening, reducing lines and wrinkles, lightening pigmentation, and evening out skin tone.

Peeling generally lasts from three to five days, depending on the type of peel. In order to enhance healing and results, it is important to use a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen. After the peel, you can resume normal activity, but heavy exercise and sweating should be avoided for two to three days.
This peel’s effects can last up to ten years, so it’s done only once. You won’t need repeated treatments.
- Do not expose yourself to the sun or use tanning beds two weeks before your treatment.
- In order to achieve optimal results, it is recommended that you pretreatment with Retin-A, Retinol, or another retinoid product for a minimum of two weeks prior (the longer, the better). To minimize burning and stinging, these medications should be stopped 2-3 days before your peel.
- It is recommended to avoid waxing and/or chemical depilatories for one to two weeks before getting a peel. Threading and shaving are allowed as long as there is no irritation to the skin.
- For sun protection right after your peel, bring a wide-brimmed hat or use an umbrella.
- During your procedure, wear a comfortable, washable top that does not have a high neckline.
- There may be mild redness in the area for a few hours to two days, similar to a mild sunburn. Each person will have a different experience. After treatment, you should see some flaking within two or three days. Flaking can last for up to five or six days. There will be only light to medium exfoliation with all PCA Peels.
- For at least two weeks afterward, wear sunscreen during daylight hours. Wear sunscreen even if you’re staying indoors since ultraviolet radiation can penetrate windows and fluorescent lights. Even a small amount of sunlight can cause brown discolored patches on the skin.
- Use a mild cleanser (such as Cetaphil or Dove) to wash your face twice daily.
- Apply a mild, thick moisturizing cream at least twice daily. It may be applied more frequently if you wish. CeraVe Healing ointment or Aquaphor ointment can be used on extremely dry patches. You can purchase them at most drugstores over the counter.
- During the healing process, do not pick or peel at the skin. This could cause excessive redness or scarring. Eventually, the skin will slough off.
- Makeup can be applied if desired, although this may exaggerate the peeling effect. To remove makeup, do not scrub it off. The sloughing will remove it from some dried skin patches.
- Do not use glycolic washes, Retin-A, Clarisonic, or other anti-aging products until your skin fully recovers.

The results of a chemical peel can vary depending on the type of peel, the specific skin concerns being addressed, and individual factors such as skin type and aftercare. Generally, the effects of a chemical peel can last anywhere from a few months to a couple of years.
It’s important to note that the longevity of the results also depends on how well you take care of your skin after the peel session. Following after care instructions, using a regular skin care routine, and using proper sun protection can all contribute to maintaining the results of a chemical peel for a longer period of time. Additionally, undergoing multiple sessions of chemical peels over time can help maintain and enhance the results.
