For Healthy Skin Turnover

What is a chemical peel?

A chemical peel is a professional skin rejuvenation treatment that uses specially formulated chemical solutions to exfoliate damaged outer layers of skin. As old skin cells are removed, new skin cells emerge, helping to reveal clearer, healthier, and more radiant skin underneath.

Chemical peels at Aesthetic Assets can improve a wide range of skin concerns and are often incorporated into comprehensive facial rejuvenation plans. Depending on the peel depth and strength, treatment can target surface-level imperfections or address deeper concerns such as acne scars, fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration, and sun damage.

Every chemical peel treatment at our med spa t is tailored to your unique skin concerns, goals, and skin type. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, our providers carefully evaluate your skin and select the most appropriate peel formulation to help address concerns such as acne, acne scarring, uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles, and dull skin.

Chemical peels work by resurfacing the skin and encouraging healthy cell turnover, revealing smoother, brighter, and healthier-looking skin over time. Treatment recommendations are based on the condition of your skin, desired results, and overall skincare goals. Customized skincare is an important part of achieving optimal results. Our personalized approach ensures that every chemical peel treatment is selected based on your unique concerns, skin type, and long-term aesthetic goals.

Whether you are looking to refresh your complexion, improve skin texture, reduce visible signs of aging, or address stubborn pigmentation concerns, our team will develop a personalized treatment plan designed specifically for you.

Revealing Healthy Skin

What is the chemical peel procedure like?

Chemical peels work by applying a chemical solution to the skin’s surface that removes the outermost layers of damaged skin. The solution contains one or more types of acid, such as alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), beta-hydroxy acid (BHA), or trichloroacetic acid (TCA). These acids penetrate the skin and break down the bonds that hold dead skin cells together, allowing them to be sloughed off. The process stimulates cell renewal and collagen production, leading to smoother, firmer, and more youthful skin.

What to Expect During Your Chemical Peel Appointment

Your appointment begins with a comprehensive consultation to discuss your concerns, goals, and treatment options.

Before treatment, the skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove makeup, oil, and impurities. Once the skin is cleansed, the selected chemical solution is carefully applied to the treatment area. Depending on the peel being performed, patients may experience mild tingling, warmth, or temporary sensitivity while the solution works. Most treatments are quick, comfortable, and well tolerated.

After treatment, detailed aftercare instructions will be provided to help support healing and optimize your results.

Chemical peels are often incorporated into broader skin rejuvenation programs to help patients achieve optimal results. Depending on your concerns, your provider may recommend combining chemical peels with other advanced aesthetic treatments offered at Aesthetic Assets, including:

By combining treatments when appropriate, patients can address multiple skin concerns while supporting long-term skin health and rejuvenation.

Chemical peels are a valuable part of many facial rejuvenation treatment plans. By stimulating natural skin renewal and improving skin quality, chemical peels can help patients achieve a brighter complexion and smoother appearance. For patients concerned with mild skin laxity or early signs of sagging, chemical peels may be combined with treatments that address skin laxity, helping to support collagen production and overall firmness.

Many patients choose regular chemical peel treatments as part of their ongoing skincare routine to maintain healthy skin, improve texture, and address age-related concerns before they become more noticeable. Chemical peels are widely used as part of comprehensive facial rejuvenation plans because they help refresh the complexion, improve skin texture, and promote healthier-looking skin over time. Learn more about how chemical peels can rejuvenate your skin and support long-term skin renewal. For patients looking to address deeper signs of aging and skin laxity, DiamondGlow Facial may complement a comprehensive facial rejuvenation plan.

Take the First Step Toward Clear Skin

Am I a candidate for chemical peels?

You are likely an ideal candidate for a chemical peel if you are looking to improve skin tone, fade sun damage, smooth rough texture, or manage active acne breakouts. Peels can be tailored for almost any age group—from teens dealing with congestion to adults wanting to brighten dull, aging skin.

While chemical peels are safe for most individuals, clients with active cold sores, open skin wounds, severe eczema flares, or those who are pregnant or nursing may need modified protocols. During your initial consultation, our aesthetic team will assess your barrier health to confirm which peel formulation is safest for you.

Chemical Peel Recovery & Results

Chemical Peel Recovery

Recovery depends on the type and depth of peel performed.

Light peels generally involve little to no downtime, while medium peels may result in several days of peeling and flaking as the skin renews itself.

Common post-treatment effects may include:

  • Mild redness
  • Temporary dryness
  • Peeling
  • Flaking
  • Tightness
  • Increased sensitivity

These effects are typically part of the normal healing process. As old skin cells shed, healthier skin is revealed underneath.

Chemical Peel Aftercare

Proper aftercare plays an important role in achieving the best possible results.

Following treatment, patients should:

  • Avoid excessive sun exposure
  • Wear daily sunscreen
  • Use recommended skincare products
  • Follow all post-treatment instructions
  • Avoid aggressive exfoliation while healing
  • Keep the skin hydrated and protected

These simple steps help support healthy healing and maintain your results.

Chemical Peel Results

Many patients notice improvement in their complexion within days, while continued improvements in tone, texture, and clarity may develop over several weeks. In some cases, optimal results continue to improve over four to six weeks following treatment.

For optimal correction of stubborn hyperpigmentation or deep texture issues, we often recommend a series of 3 to 6 peels spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart, followed by seasonal maintenance sessions.
