Medical Grade Chemical Peels
Reveal Radiant Skin
Medical-grade chemical peels are an effective way to refresh and rejuvenate your skin by addressing common concerns such as fine lines, uneven texture, hyperpigmentation, and acne. These advanced treatments gently exfoliate the skin, promoting cell turnover and revealing a brighter, smoother complexion.

How It Works
Chemical peels use a specialized blend of exfoliating acids to remove dead skin cells and stimulate collagen production. The strength and formulation of the peel are tailored to your skin type and concerns, ensuring optimal results. Peels range from mild to deep, allowing for targeted treatment with minimal downtime.

What to Expect:
During the treatment, the peel is applied to your skin and left on for a specific duration, depending on the peel type. You may feel a mild tingling sensation as the active ingredients work to exfoliate your skin. After the treatment, some redness or light peeling may occur, with full results visible as your skin heals and regenerates.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
A chemical peel (aka chemexfoliation or dermapeeling) is a treat in which a layer of a chemical solution is applied to the face. This causes a controlled injury to layers of the skin, which results in the affected skin peeling off. Generally, the end result is smoother, more youthful skin with fewer wrinkles, as well as a more colorful, brighter complexion overall.
You can expect a "spicy" sensation during a chemical peel, varying with the intensity of the peel you are receiving. We use facial fans to help with any discomfort. Most patients report feeling tingly, itchy, and a little heat while the peel is being applied. After the treatment any discomfort is quickly diminished.
Depending on how conditioned your skin is and which peel you are doing, most patients peel for 5-7 days. Peeling typically happens on day 2 after the treatment. Chemical peels done on the body including decollete tend to start peeling later and last a little longer. Your provider will go over in depth expectations at the time of your treatment.
Depending on your skin concerns and goals, we typically recommend 1-3 peels done within a year.
We recommend getting peels in the fall through late spring. Chemical peels will make your skin more sensitive to heat and the sun, so summer is not an ideal time to get them done.
Primarily, chemical peels use either salglycolic acid, trichloroacetic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid or carbolic acid (phenol), or a combination of those. PM Aesthetics carries both Mild and Moderate-intensity peels by Jan Marini, as well as a trichloroacetic acid (TCA) Peel. Book a consult to see which peel will work best for your needs and skin type.
Downtime varies depending on the type and strength of the peel. Light peels may result in mild redness and flaking with little to no downtime, while deeper peels can cause peeling and sensitivity for up to a week. Your provider will give you aftercare instructions based on your specific treatment.
