About Chemical Peels
Chemical peels use carefully formulated acid solutions to exfoliate the outer layers of skin, revealing smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin beneath. We offer superficial, medium, and deep peels tailored to your specific skin concerns.
Chemical peels are a proven skin rejuvenation treatment that uses carefully selected chemical solutions to remove damaged outer layers of skin, revealing smoother, clearer, more youthful skin beneath.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many chemical peel sessions do I need?
Superficial peels are typically done in a series of 4-6 treatments spaced 2-4 weeks apart. Medium peels may be done every 3-6 months. Deep peels usually require only one treatment for dramatic results.
Are chemical peels painful?
Superficial peels may cause mild tingling or stinging. Medium peels cause a warm, burning sensation that subsides after the peel is neutralized. Deep peels are performed with sedation or anesthesia for comfort.
Can chemical peels be done on darker skin tones?
Yes, but careful selection of peel type and concentration is essential. Our practitioners are experienced with South Asian skin and select appropriate formulations to minimize the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
How do chemical peels compare to laser treatments?
Both are effective for skin resurfacing. Chemical peels are generally less expensive and can be better for pigmentation issues. Lasers offer more precision for specific concerns. Your practitioner will recommend the best option for your skin.
