What Is a Chemical Peel

Chemical peels aim to reveal the beautiful, healthier skin that is hiding under the surface. This treatment works by applying chemicals that trigger the removal of dead or damaged skin cells from the face, hands, and/or neck. Our specialists will recommend the right level of chemical peel depending on your skin’s needs. Chemical peels exfoliate dry, aging skin to reveal younger, brighter skin.

What Does Recovery from a Chemical Peel Look Like?

The first day following a peel, your skin will have some redness. After a day, the dead skin will begin to shed. Your skin will quickly become dry and flaky, but don’t scrape or peel it before it sheds. Prematurely peeling skin can cause discoloration or other side effects. After 3 to 4 days, most of the peeling should be complete, although new skin may take 5 to 7 days. Skin should heal after 7 to 14 days. If you work inside, you shouldn’t need time off following a peel. Depending on your skin health and objectives, you may be able to schedule another peel in 3 to 9 months.
