Resurface & Renew

Chemical Peels

Boost collagen, fade pigmentation, and reveal your best skin yet.

What It Is

Professional Skin Resurfacing with Proven Actives

A chemical peel is one of the most clinically proven skin treatments available. By applying a carefully selected acid solution to the skin's surface, we trigger a controlled shedding of damaged outer layers — revealing the younger, smoother, more evenly-toned skin beneath.

More importantly, the controlled wound-healing response triggered by a chemical peel stimulates your skin's natural collagen and elastin production. The result is not just a fresher-looking surface — but genuinely firmer, more youthful skin at the structural level.

At Face to Face Spa, our licensed medical aestheticians select from a range of professional-grade peel formulations to create a treatment perfectly calibrated to your skin type, concern, and tolerance.

Peel Depth Guide

Three Levels, One Goal: Better Skin

Your aesthetician will recommend the right peel depth based on your skin assessment.

Light / Superficial

Refresh & Brighten

Uses alpha-hydroxy acids (glycolic, lactic) or beta-hydroxy acids (salicylic) at lower concentrations to gently exfoliate the outermost layer of skin. Ideal for first-timers or regular maintenance.

Downtime: None to minimal flaking
Best for: Dull skin, mild acne, uneven tone

Medium Depth

Resurface & Correct

Penetrates through the epidermis into the upper dermis using TCA or Jessner's solution. Triggers a more significant renewal response with visible peeling over 5–7 days.

Downtime: 5–7 days peeling
Best for: Hyperpigmentation, sun damage, acne scars

Deep / Physician

Transform & Firm

High-concentration TCA or phenol peels penetrate deep into the dermis, triggering significant collagen remodeling and dramatic resurfacing. Physician-supervised only.

Downtime: 10–14 days
Best for: Deep wrinkles, significant photodamage

Benefits

What Chemical Peels Treat

Hyperpigmentation

Fades dark spots, melasma, and uneven skin tone caused by sun exposure and hormonal changes.

Fine Lines & Wrinkles

Collagen stimulation smooths expression lines and improves overall skin firmness and elasticity.

Acne & Breakouts

Salicylic acid penetrates follicles to dissolve sebum, kill bacteria, and prevent future breakouts.

Post-Acne Scarring

Resurfaces shallow scarring and discoloration left behind by past breakouts for a more even complexion.

Rough Texture

Removes layers of dead skin that cause roughness, dullness, and congestion for silky-smooth skin.

Sun Damage

Repairs sun-damaged outer layers and stimulates renewal of healthier, more protected skin beneath.

Common Questions

Chemical Peel FAQs

Light peels cause a mild tingling or stinging sensation that fades within minutes. Medium peels can feel more intense but are well-tolerated with the use of a fan during application. Deep peels require topical anesthesia. Our aestheticians ensure your comfort throughout.

Light peels may cause only subtle flaking barely noticeable to others. Medium peels produce more obvious shedding of skin in sheets over 5–7 days. It's important not to pick or peel the skin manually — let it shed naturally for best results.

Stop using retinoids and exfoliating acids 5–7 days before your appointment. Avoid tanning and sun exposure. Arrive with clean skin. We may recommend a pre-peel conditioning protocol (Retin-A or hydroquinone) for 2–4 weeks prior for medium/deep peels.

Use gentle, fragrance-free cleanser and a bland moisturizer. Apply SPF 30+ daily and reapply every 2 hours outdoors. Avoid retinoids, exfoliants, and active skincare for 1–2 weeks. Do not pick peeling skin — this can cause scarring.

A single peel delivers noticeable results. For stubborn concerns like deep hyperpigmentation or acne scarring, a series of 3–6 peels spaced 4–6 weeks apart delivers the most dramatic transformation. Our aestheticians will build your treatment plan at your consultation.
