What Is a Chemical Peel?
Chemical peels are professional skin treatments designed to gently remove the outer layer of dead or damaged skin to reveal a smoother, brighter, and more even complexion. Professional-grade ingredients help exfoliate the skin, improve acne, refine texture, enhance tone and clarity, and support healthy cell renewal. At Dermaluxe Spa, each peel is customized based on your skin type, concerns, and goals.
Is a Chemical Peel Right For You?
01 DULL OR CONGESTED SKIN
A chemical peel may be right for you if your skin feels rough, looks tired, or is prone to buildup, breakouts, or clogged pores.
02 UNEVEN TONE OR TEXTURE
03 MINIMAL DOWNTIME
Chemical peels may be ideal if you want refreshed, glowing skin and visible improvement with little to no downtime, depending on the peel selected.
What To Expect During a Chemical Peel
What to expect during your chemical peel depends on the type and strength selected for your skin. Your treatment begins with a cleanse and personalized assessment to ensure the peel is tailored to your needs. You may feel a mild tingling or warming sensation during application.
Some peels involve little to no peeling, while others may cause light flaking over the next few days. Mild redness, dryness, or tightness is normal. You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to support proper healing and enhance your results, leaving your skin smoother, clearer, and more radiant.

What should I expect during my treatment?
What is the downtime and aftercare like?
There’s very little downtime after a chemical peel, but proper aftercare is essential for the best results. Mild redness, dryness, or light flaking is normal as your skin begins to renew itself. The amount of peeling can vary depending on the type of peel and your skin’s condition, and it usually lasts just a few days.
To protect your fresh skin, apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every day and avoid direct sunlight or hot saunas for at least 48 hours. Keep your skincare routine gentle and hydrating, and pause exfoliants, retinoids, or other active ingredients for several days. Avoid touching or picking at any peeling skin to prevent irritation. Staying hydrated and moisturizing regularly will support healing and help your skin stay smooth, healthy, and glowing.
How many treatments will I need?
The number of treatments depends on your skin concerns and goals. Some clients see results after just one session, while others may benefit from a series of treatments for deeper rejuvenation. Your esthetician will recommend a customized plan based on your needs.
How should I prepare for a chemical peel?
To help your skin get the best results from your treatment, there are a few things to keep in mind before your appointment. Avoid shaving, waxing, or threading the area for at least a week so your skin stays calm and undisturbed. If you’re using retinols or strong active ingredients, it’s a good idea to pause them about two weeks in advance. And if you’ve recently had Botox or fillers, give it at least two weeks before scheduling your facial. Taking these simple steps helps your skin respond better and heal beautifully after your peel.
