✨ What Does a Chemical Peel Do? Everything You Need to Know Before Booking

Summary:
Wondering what a chemical peel actually does? This guide breaks down how peels work, what results to expect, and why they’re one of the most effective treatments for glowing, healthy skin.

Chemical peels might sound intense, but they’re one of the most effective ways to deeply exfoliate the skin, improve texture, and treat a wide range of concerns from acne and fine lines to dark spots and dullness.

If you’ve ever wondered what a peel actually does or whether it’s right for you, here’s everything you need to know.

💡 So... What Does a Chemical Peel Actually Do?

A chemical peel works by applying a solution (usually made with ingredients like glycolic acid, lactic acid, or salicylic acid) to gently lift away the top layers of dead, damaged skin.

Once that layer is shed, your skin underneath is smoother, fresher, and more even-toned. Over time, peels stimulate collagen production, reduce pigmentation, smooth fine lines, and improve clarity.

🔎 What Concerns Do Chemical Peels Treat?

Chemical peels are incredibly versatile and can be customized to your skin type and goals. Depending on the formula used, they can help with:

  • Acne and acne scars
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Sun damage and dark spots
  • Uneven texture
  • Dull or rough skin
  • Enlarged pores
  • Increases hydration

⏳ What Happens After a Peel?

You might experience some redness or light flaking (like a mild sunburn), especially with stronger peels — but many people leave the treatment glowing.

Downtime varies:

  • Light peels: No downtime, mild flaking (great before events!)
  • Medium peels: 3–5 days of visible peeling
  • Deeper peels: 7–10 days of recovery (usually done less often)

We always give you post-peel care instructions to keep your skin calm, hydrated, and protected.

🤔 Are Peels Safe for All Skin Types?

Yes — when performed professionally and customized correctly, chemical peels are safe for all skin types and tones. We offer different levels of peels, including gentle options for sensitive skin and more active blends for clients targeting specific concerns.

📆 How Often Should I Get a Chemical Peel?

Most clients start with a series of 3–6 peels spaced about 2-4 weeks apart for best results. After that, maintenance peels every few months can help keep your skin glowing and smooth year-round.
