What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel uses a gentle solution to remove the top layers of dead skin cells, revealing fresher, healthier-looking skin underneath. Beyond smoothing texture, peels can reduce pigmentation, soften fine lines, and improve overall radiance.

Types of Chemical Peels:

  • Light (Superficial) Peels: Glycolic, lactic, or salicylic acids; minimal downtime, mild flaking or redness for 1–2 days.
  • Medium Peels: Jessner’s solution or TCA; targets outer and upper dermis layers, with redness and peeling for 7–10 days.
  • Deep Peels: Phenol-based; treats severe texture issues, with peeling and redness for 7–14 days.
How a Chemical Peel Works

How a Chemical Peel Works

During your consultation, we’ll select a peel suited to your skin and goals. The treatment involves applying a chemical solution to the skin, which exfoliates the outer layers. Depending on the peel type (light, medium, or deep) you may experience mild redness, flaking, or peeling over several days. We will guide you through aftercare to ensure safe, optimal results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Chemical peels help brighten and smooth the skin, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, even out skin tone, minimize sun damage or pigmentation, shrink pores, and improve acne-prone areas. With the right peel, your skin can feel softer, look fresher, and gain a natural glow.

Side effects are generally mild and temporary, including redness, slight swelling, or minor tenderness at the injection site. These usually resolve within a few days.


Most peels are well-tolerated, with sensations ranging from a mild tingling or warmth during light peels to a stronger but manageable sensation with medium or deep peels. Our team ensures the experience is as smooth as possible. Book your consultation with us.
