Your clinician conducts a thorough skin evaluation, assessing your skin type (Fitzpatrick scale), concerns, sensitivity, and any contraindications. Your treatment history, current skincare regimen, and medications are reviewed. Based on this assessment, the optimal peel type, concentration, and depth are selected for your specific needs and goals.
Depending on the peel depth, you may be prescribed a pre-peel skincare regimen 2-4 weeks before your appointment. This typically includes a retinoid and/or hydroquinone to prime the skin, accelerate cell turnover, and reduce the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Your clinician will provide specific preparation instructions based on your peel type.
On the day of treatment, the skin is cleansed and degreased. The peel solution is applied evenly to the treatment area in one or more layers, depending on the desired depth of penetration. You will feel tingling, warmth, and possibly a mild stinging sensation - this is normal and indicates the acid is actively working. Your clinician monitors your skin's response in real-time, adjusting the application time and number of layers to ensure safe, controlled exfoliation.
Depending on the peel type, the solution is either neutralized with a specific neutralizing agent or allowed to self-neutralize. A calming, hydrating serum or mask is applied, followed by broad-spectrum sunscreen. Your clinician provides detailed post-peel care instructions specific to your peel depth, including products to use and avoid during the healing period.
For superficial peels, minimal preparation is needed - simply avoid retinoids and exfoliating products for 3-5 days before treatment. For medium and deep peels, a pre-peel preparation protocol of 2-4 weeks may be prescribed, typically including a retinoid, hydroquinone, and/or vitamin C serum to condition the skin and optimize results. Avoid waxing, electrolysis, or laser hair removal in the treatment area for 1 week prior. Discontinue photosensitizing medications if possible (as directed by your clinician). Arrive with clean, product-free skin.
The peel application itself typically takes 15-30 minutes. You will feel tingling and warmth as the solution is applied, which may intensify to a stinging or burning sensation depending on the peel depth. Superficial peels feel like mild tingling. Medium peels produce more noticeable stinging that may last several minutes. Your clinician will communicate with you throughout, monitoring both your comfort and your skin's visual response. A handheld fan may be used to help manage any sensation of heat. The neutralization and soothing mask application adds 10-15 minutes to the session.
Post-peel care and downtime vary significantly by peel depth. Superficial peels may produce mild redness and slight flaking for 1-3 days - many clients have no visible peeling at all. Medium peels typically cause moderate redness, swelling, and visible peeling for 5-7 days. During the peeling phase, it is critical to keep the skin moisturized, apply SPF 30+ diligently, and avoid picking or pulling at peeling skin. Avoid retinoids, exfoliating acids, and active ingredients until your clinician advises it is safe to resume. The new skin that emerges is fresh, smooth, and more vulnerable to sun damage, so sun protection is essential for several weeks following treatment.
Results depend on the peel depth. Superficial peels produce a subtle brightening and smoothing effect that accumulates with regular monthly treatments. Medium peels produce more dramatic improvement in texture, tone, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation after a single treatment, with optimal results visible once peeling is complete (typically 7-10 days). A series of peels provides cumulative improvement. Most clients see measurable improvement in skin clarity, pigmentation, pore size, and fine lines. Results from a single medium-depth peel can last several months with proper skincare maintenance. Annual or biannual peel series are recommended for sustained improvement.

“Open seven days a week makes all the difference for my schedule. I come in for my chemical peel on Sundays and it fits perfectly into my routine. After four sessions, my hyperpigmentation has faded significantly and my skin tone is so much more even.”

The difference lies in the depth of skin penetration and the resulting intensity of exfoliation. Light (superficial) peels use mild acids like glycolic or lactic acid to exfoliate only the epidermis (outermost skin layer), with minimal downtime and subtle results that accumulate over multiple sessions. Medium peels use stronger acids like TCA (trichloroacetic acid) to penetrate into the upper dermis, producing more significant improvement in texture, pigmentation, and fine lines, with 5-7 days of visible peeling. Deep peels penetrate further into the dermis for the most dramatic correction of wrinkles, scars, and sun damage, but require the longest recovery (up to 2 weeks). Your clinician will recommend the appropriate depth based on your skin concerns, type, and tolerance.
Light peels can be performed every 2-4 weeks as a maintenance treatment and are often incorporated into a monthly skincare routine. Medium peels are typically spaced 4-8 weeks apart if performing a series, or done 2-4 times per year for maintenance. Deep peels are performed infrequently - typically once or at most a few times over a lifetime - due to their intensity and recovery time. Your clinician will design a peel schedule that aligns with your skin goals, treatment plan, and lifestyle.
Chemical peels can be safely performed on darker skin tones, but the type and depth of peel must be carefully selected to minimize the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Certain acids - such as mandelic acid and lactic acid - are generally well-tolerated by darker skin types. A pre-peel preparation regimen may be recommended to reduce PIH risk. Medium and deep peels require particular caution in darker skin and should only be performed by experienced clinicians. Our team is trained in skin-type-specific peel protocols and will assess your individual risk profile during your consultation.
The sensation varies by peel depth. Superficial peels feel like mild tingling - most clients find them quite comfortable. Medium peels produce a stronger stinging or burning sensation that lasts several minutes, typically described as a 3-5 on a 1-10 scale. This sensation is temporary and subsides once the peel is neutralized. Deep peels are the most intense and may require sedation or local anesthesia. For all peel types, your clinician will communicate with you throughout the procedure and can use a fan or adjust the protocol to manage your comfort.
