Ready to peel away dull, tired skin and reveal a fresh, radiant glow?
Chemical peels are the ultimate skin reset, gently exfoliating away dead cells to smooth texture, even tone, and boost collagen. Whether you want to brighten, tighten, or banish breakouts, our customized peels work at just the right depth for your skin’s needs.
Face Neck Hands
Most people feel a mild tingling or warmth during the treatment. Deeper peels may cause more intense sensations, but discomfort is temporary and manageable.
With deeper peels, you may experience visible peeling or flaking as your skin sheds dead cells. Lighter peels often have minimal to no noticeable peeling but still deliver great results.
Avoid touching the area for at least 12 hours. You should also avoid harsh skincare products (like retinol and exfoliants for 2 weeks) and refrain from exercising and saunas for 72 hours. No avoid sunlight for 4 weeks post-treatment. Always wear SPF to protect your fresh new skin!

Light peels can be done monthly for maintenance, while medium and deep peels are typically spaced further apart, depending on your skin’s response.
Our skincare experts will assess your skin type, concerns, and goals to recommend the best peel for your needs.
Unveil a fresher and more radiant complexion with a professional chemical peel—your skin’s ultimate reset for fading fine lines, acne scars, and dullness at Premier Med Spa.
A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing treatment that uses a specialized chemical solution to gently exfoliate the top layers of skin. This process removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and stimulates collagen production—revealing brighter, smoother, and more even-toned skin. Chemical peels can effectively treat fine lines, acne, sun damage, and discoloration, making them a powerful option for overall skin rejuvenation.
Skin Evaluation
Your visit begins with a warm welcome and a one-on-one consultation with our skincare expert. We’ll assess your skin type, concerns, and goals to determine if a chemical peel is the right solution for you.
Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on your skin’s unique needs, we’ll select the appropriate chemical peel type and strength—whether you’re targeting acne, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, or dullness.
Skin Preparation
We’ll thoroughly cleanse your face to remove any oils, dirt, or residue. This ensures your skin is clean and ready to fully absorb the active ingredients in the peel.
Chemical Peel Application
The selected chemical solution will be carefully applied to your skin. You may feel a mild tingling, warmth, or stinging sensation—this is normal and typically lasts only a few minutes.
Monitoring & Removal
Our APPs will closely monitor your skin’s reaction and remove or neutralize the solution at the appropriate time to prevent over-exfoliation and ensure optimal results.
Neutralization & Soothing
A neutralizing agent or cool compress may be used to stop the chemical activity, followed by calming serums or moisturizers to soothe the skin and minimize any redness or irritation.
Post-Treatment Guidance
You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to protect your freshly exfoliated skin. This includes tips on sun protection, gentle skincare products, and what to expect during the peeling process.
Avoid Sun Exposure
Protect your skin from direct sunlight for at least 7–10 days. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every day, even when indoors or on cloudy days.
Do Not Pick or Peel
As your skin begins to flake or peel, resist the urge to pick, scrub, or peel it manually. Let the shedding happen naturally to avoid scarring or irritation.
Keep Skin Moisturized
Use a gentle, hydrating moisturizer multiple times daily to help minimize dryness and flaking. Look for fragrance-free formulas with soothing ingredients like hyaluronic acid or ceramides.
Skip Harsh Products
Avoid retinoids, exfoliants, acne treatments, or any skincare products containing AHAs, BHAs, or benzoyl peroxide for at least 5–7 days post-peel, or as directed by your provider.
Cleanse Gently
Wash your face with a mild, non-foaming cleanser and lukewarm water. Pat your skin dry—never rub—with a clean, soft towel.
Avoid Heat and Sweating
Refrain from activities that cause sweating, such as exercise, hot showers, saunas, or steam rooms, for 48–72 hours after treatment to avoid irritation.
Avoid Makeup Initially
Wait at least 24 hours before applying makeup, or follow your provider’s recommendation. If makeup is needed, choose non-comedogenic and lightweight formulas.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water to support your skin’s healing from within and help flush out toxins.
Follow Up as Recommended
Schedule and attend any follow-up appointments with your provider to monitor your skin’s progress and determine if additional peels are beneficial.
Improves Skin Texture and Tone
Chemical peels exfoliate the outer layers of skin, leaving it noticeably smoother, softer, and more even-toned.
Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles
By stimulating collagen production, chemical peels can visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines, especially around the eyes and mouth.
Minimizes Acne and Breakouts
Chemical peels help unclog pores, remove excess oil, and reduce inflammation—making them highly effective for treating acne and preventing future breakouts.
Fades Dark Spots and Hyperpigmentation
Sun damage, melasma, and post-acne marks can be dramatically improved with regular peel treatments, revealing a brighter and more radiant complexion.
Stimulates Collagen and Cell Turnover
Chemical exfoliation encourages natural skin renewal, helping to improve firmness, elasticity, and overall skin health.
Improves Absorption of Skincare Products
After a peel, your skin is better able to absorb serums, moisturizers, and active ingredients, making your daily skincare routine more effective.
Non-Invasive Skin Rejuvenation
Chemical peels are a safe, non-surgical way to rejuvenate your skin with minimal downtime and long-lasting results.
