Chemical Peels

Reveal Brighter, Smoother, Healthier Skin

At Permaskin, our customized chemical peel treatments are designed to exfoliate, renew, and transform your skin by removing dead cells and stimulating cell turnover. Whether you’re targeting acne, dark spots, fine lines, or dull texture — we offer solutions tailored to your unique skin needs.

✨ Benefits of Chemical Peels

  • Clears acne and congestion

  • Fades dark spots and hyperpigmentation

  • Smooths fine lines and rough texture

  • Brightens dull, tired skin

  • Stimulates collagen production

  • Improves overall skin tone and radiance

💎 Customized for Your Skin Type

We offer a range of medical-grade peels, from light to deep strength. Your esthetician will assess your skin and select the right formula for safe, effective results — whether you need a gentle glow-up or more intensive resurfacing.

🔄 How It Works

A chemical solution is applied to the skin, causing the outer layers to exfoliate and peel over the next few days. This allows fresh, new skin to emerge — smoother, clearer, and more even-toned.

📆 How Often Should You Get a Peel?

Light peels can be done every 2–4 weeks, while deeper peels may be spaced out further. Your specialist will recommend a schedule based on your skin goals.

✅ What to Expect

  • Minimal downtime for light peels

  • Temporary redness or flaking may occur

  • Visible improvement after just one session — best results with a series

🧴 How to Prepare for a Chemical Peel

To ensure the best results and avoid irritation, follow these steps before your appointment:

✅ 1 Week Before Your Peel:

  • Stop using retinoids (Retin-A), exfoliating acids (AHAs, BHAs), or any other active skincare products.

  • Avoid waxing, threading, or harsh scrubs in the treatment area.

  • Stay out of the sun and avoid tanning beds.

  • Hydrate your skin with a gentle, nourishing moisturizer.

🚫 Avoid on the Day of Treatment:

  • Heavy makeup

  • Shaving or exfoliating the area

  • Direct sun exposure

  • Applying strong skincare products

Always let your provider know if you’re using any prescription skincare, acne medication (like Accutane), or have had recent procedures.

💆‍♀️ Aftercare Instructions for Chemical Peels

Proper aftercare is key to healing and glowing skin:

🌿 For the First 24–48 Hours:

  • Use a gentle cleanser and fragrance-free moisturizer

  • Avoid heat (saunas, hot showers, sweating from exercise)

  • Stay out of direct sunlight

  • Do not pick, peel, or scrub flaking skin

  • Skip makeup if possible

☀️ Ongoing Care for 1 Week Post-Treatment:

  • Wear broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily — even indoors

  • Avoid exfoliants, acids, retinoids, or strong skincare products

  • Keep skin hydrated

  • Avoid hair removal, microdermabrasion, or other facials

Peeling may start around day 2 or 3 and typically lasts a few days. This is normal — let your skin shed naturally.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a chemical peel?

A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing treatment that uses a solution to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells. This encourages new, healthy skin to surface, improving tone, texture, and clarity.

2. What skin concerns do chemical peels treat?

Chemical peels are great for treating:

  • Acne and acne scars

  • Hyperpigmentation and dark spots

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Uneven skin texture

  • Sun damage and dullness

3. Do chemical peels hurt?

You may feel a slight tingling or warming sensation during the treatment, but it’s generally very tolerable. Most clients describe the feeling as mild and short-lived. We always tailor the strength of the peel to your comfort level and skin condition.

4. Will my skin peel after the treatment?

Some light flaking or peeling is normal, especially with medium-strength peels. It typically begins 2–3 days after treatment and lasts a few days. Not all peels result in visible shedding — and that’s okay! You can still get great results without heavy peeling.

5. How should I care for my skin after a peel?

  • Keep skin hydrated and moisturized

  • Avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen daily

  • Do not pick or peel the skin

  • Avoid exfoliating products or retinoids for several days

Your esthetician will provide personalized aftercare instructions.

6. How long before I see results?

You may notice a brighter, smoother complexion within a few days. For deeper issues like pigmentation or scarring, a series of peels may be recommended for the best results.

7. How often should I get a chemical peel?

Light peels can be done every 2–4 weeks, while medium to deep peels should be spaced further apart. We’ll create a custom plan based on your goals and skin type.

8. Is a chemical peel safe for all skin tones?

Yes, we offer a variety of peels that are safe and effective for all skin types and tones, including darker skin. We always assess your skin before treatment to choose the most appropriate formula.

9. Can I wear makeup after a peel?

It’s best to avoid makeup for the first 24–48 hours to allow your skin to heal and breathe. After that, you can resume your normal routine — just remember to moisturize and wear SPF.

10. Are there any side effects?

Mild redness, sensitivity, and flaking are common and temporary. Your provider will go over everything you need to know before and after your treatment.
