Who is a good candidate for chemical peels?
Chemical peels are suitable for most skin types and can be customized to your concerns — acne scars, sun damage, aging skin, and uneven tone. At your consultation, we'll help determine the best peel for your skin type and goals.
When will I see results from a chemical peel?
First signs of improvement often appear within days, with full results developing over the following 1–2 weeks. Deeper peels may show enhanced improvement over several weeks as skin regenerates and produces new collagen.
How long do chemical peel results last?
Results typically last several months to a year depending on the peel and your skincare habits. A consistent routine and daily sunscreen help extend results, and many clients schedule seasonal peels for ongoing benefits.
Do chemical peels hurt?
Most clients tolerate peels well, reporting only mild tingling, warmth, or tightness. Stronger peels may cause temporary stinging or redness, but discomfort is generally minimal — the Signature Facelift is a great starting point if you're concerned about sensitivity.
What should I do before and after a chemical peel?
Avoid sun exposure and harsh skincare products for a few days before treatment. Afterward, stick to gentle, hydrating products and SPF. Your esthetician will give full instructions based on your skin type and peel strength.
Chemical peel vs. microdermabrasion — what's the difference?
Chemical peels work on a cellular level to stimulate new skin growth, while microdermabrasion is more superficial, exfoliating the surface only. For longer-lasting improvement in tone, texture, or pigmentation, a chemical peel typically offers more noticeable results.
