Who is a Chemical Peel for?
This treatment is typically chosen by individuals seeking improvement in uneven tone, rough texture, fine lines, mild acne scarring, or sun‑damaged skin.
Safety Overview
Chemical peels are generally well‑tolerated when performed by trained clinicians; temporary redness, peeling, or sensitivity are common and expected effects following treatment.
Typical Results Timeline
Visible improvements usually begin within a few days as old skin sheds, with full effects often seen in 1–3 weeks depending on peel depth and individual response.
Who should avoid a Chemical Peel?
Chemical peels are not recommended for people with active skin infections, certain inflammatory skin conditions (e.g., rosacea), recent isotretinoin use, or sensitive/reactive skin without professional assessment.
Chemical Peels at Skin Vitality Medical
In our clinics, chemical peels are used as controlled exfoliation procedures to address uneven tone, texture, and certain pigment concerns. Patients commonly ask how peels differ from at‑home exfoliation, and our experience is that professionally selected acids and strengths allow more predictable, supervised outcomes. We typically see visible smoothing and brightening within days, with further improvement over one to three weeks depending on peel depth and skin response. Peel strength, layering, and frequency are chosen based on skin type, prior treatments, and desired downtime, and adjusted as the skin’s tolerance is observed.
