Types of Chemical Peels We Offer
We work across a spectrum, because skin does not live in extremes.
- Superficial peels focus on brightness, smoother feel, and quicker recovery. They can help loosen the “film” that makes the complexion look flat, and they support clearer pores when congestion loves to linger.
- Medium-depth peels aim deeper. These are the ones we consider when discoloration is more persistent, when fine lines look etched, or when post-breakout marks refuse to fade on their own. These peels ask for more respect, more aftercare, and smarter scheduling, so we plan them carefully.
When deeper resurfacing is appropriate, we map a staged path. We build tolerance. We protect the barrier. We keep progress steady and predictable, not chaotic.
What We Treat With Chemical Peels
We use peels to push back against the usual suspects: acne patterns, clogged pores, uneven tone, dullness that does not budge, and rough texture that makes skincare feel useless. We also use peels to support clearer-looking pigmentation over time, especially when paired with consistent home care and diligent sunscreen. For melasma-prone skin, we stay conservative and strategic, because pigment likes to “remember” stress.
Peels also help makeup sit better. That matters. Texture is loud under bright light, and our goal is to quiet it without compromising skin comfort.
How We Customize Peel Strength
We treat customization like a checklist with teeth. We review active products, especially retinoids and exfoliating acids. We ask about waxing, recent sun exposure, and any history of easy irritation. We note how the skin reacts to heat, friction, or fragrance. Then we tailor solution choice, layer count, contact time, and neutralization timing to match the skin’s current resilience.
We do not chase “strong.” We chase “right.”
Preparing for a Peel
Preparation is where smooth outcomes are born. We often pause strong actives for several days, avoid tanning and self-tanner, and focus on hydration and barrier support. If the skin is inflamed, we may recommend calming steps before the peel even hits the calendar. That choice can feel slower, but it usually delivers cleaner results and fewer surprises.
What to Expect After Treatment
During the peel, a warm, tingling sensation is common. It typically fades quickly. Afterward, the skin may feel tight, dry, or lightly flaky as renewal begins. Light peels can look subtle on the surface while still improving glow. Medium peels can show more visible shedding and need more careful scheduling.
Aftercare stays simple: gentle cleansing, bland moisture, and strict sun protection. UV exposure is not just “bad.” It can reverse progress and trigger discoloration. We take that seriously.
How Often We Recommend Treatments
Frequency depends on the goal, the peel, and the skin’s response curve. Some clients do best with a short series spaced a few weeks apart, then shift into maintenance to keep tone and texture steady. Others prefer seasonal refreshes when schedules and sun exposure are more controlled. We adjust as the skin improves, because the plan should evolve instead of repeating the same step forever.
Frequently Asked Questions

One of our expert aestheticians will choose which chemical peel is right for you depending on your skin type and the severity of the problem you are addressing. Our aestheticians will need to evaluate your skin to determine your treatment plan.
The surest way to get real pricing, not guesswork, is to book a consultation with one of our reputable aestheticians. We examine your skin up close, match you to the chemical peel that fits your goals and tolerance, then give you an exact, itemized estimate for what your treatment will cost.
Pricing is not a single number. It is a recipe. Depth, solution, layering, and whether we build a sequence all shift the final figure. In consultation, we read your skin like a map, lay out routes, and give a straight estimate before we ever touch treatment day.
“Average” is a foggy word that hides the real math. A quick brightening sweep is not the same as a corrective peel with visible shedding and a longer runway. We price the protocol we prescribe, not a blended statistic.
Yes, when the match is right. Clarity, tone, texture, smoother pores, calmer congestion. The win comes from controlled exfoliation, barrier-first recovery, and pacing that respects what your skin can actually handle.
No magic age. No universal rule. Acne and congestion can demand support early. Pigment, roughness, and fine lines tend to speak louder later. We treat the concern in front of us, not the birthday behind us.
Lower-sun months make planning easier because healing skin is UV sensitive. Still, disciplined protection lets us work year-round. We time treatments around travel, events, outdoor habits, and real life.
Weeks to months. Depth matters. Habits matter more. A smart series builds longer-lasting change, then maintenance keeps the gains from slipping away.
Safety, Sensitivity, and Smart Aftercare
We do not gamble with skin. We screen contraindications, review recent procedures, and choose solutions that do not bully the barrier. After treatment, we keep the routine calm: gentle cleanser, replenishing moisturizer, broad-spectrum SPF every single day. Sun plus peel equals regret, so protection is nonnegotiable. Reactive skin? We can add calming steps, shorten contact time, adjust layers, and keep the plan precise. Bold is not better. Accurate is better.
How We Personalize Your Peel
Personalization starts before the first drop lands. We assess tone shifts, texture zones, pore behavior, and lifestyle context. Outdoor training? Frequent flights? Nightly retinoids? Heat exposure? We factor it in, then choose acids, buffers, contact time, and layering strategy to fit tolerance and goals. We track your responses so each visit becomes tighter, cleaner, and more effective than the last.
Integrations That Elevate Results
Texture loves consistency. Pigment respects patience. When deep cleansing and instant glow make sense on a separate visit, we may recommend Hydrafacial Atlanta, GA to support your complexion while keeping peel timing skin-safe, measured, and logical.
