FAQ

What’s the difference between a light peel and a medium-depth peel?

A light chemical peel gently exfoliates the outermost layer of skin to improve dullness, mild discoloration, fine lines, and uneven texture with little to no downtime. A medium-depth peel penetrates deeper into the skin to address more noticeable concerns, such as sun damage, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and moderate signs of aging. During your consultation, your provider will recommend the peel that's best suited to your skin type, concerns, and desired level of downtime.

How do I know which peel is right for my skin?

The best chemical peel depends on your skin type, concerns, skincare routine, and desired level of downtime. During your consultation, your provider will evaluate your skin and recommend the most appropriate option, whether you're looking to brighten dull skin, improve pigmentation, smooth texture, reduce acne, or address visible signs of aging. Every treatment is customized to help you achieve your individual skincare goals.

Will I peel after a chemical peel?

It depends on the type of chemical peel you receive. Light peels, such as the ZO® Stimulator Peel, typically cause little to no visible peeling, while medium-depth peels like the ZO® 3-Step Peel and VI Peel Precision Plus usually result in noticeable peeling that begins a few days after treatment and lasts for several days. Your provider will explain what to expect and provide detailed aftercare instructions based on the peel that's right for you.

Are chemical peels safe for darker skin tones?

Yes. Many chemical peels can be safely performed on darker skin tones when the appropriate peel and treatment protocol are selected. Your provider will evaluate your skin type, concerns, and medical history to recommend the safest and most effective option while minimizing the risk of unwanted pigmentation changes. A personalized consultation is the best way to determine which chemical peel is right for your skin.

Can I get a peel if I have acne?

Yes. Chemical peels are commonly used to help improve acne and acne-prone skin. Depending on your skin type and the severity of your acne, your provider may recommend a peel to help unclog pores, reduce excess oil, improve post-acne discoloration, and promote smoother skin. During your consultation, we'll determine whether a chemical peel is appropriate for your skin and recommend the best treatment for your goals.

What’s better for a quick glow: dermaplaning or a light peel?

Both treatments can leave your skin looking brighter and more refreshed, but they work in different ways. Dermaplaning physically removes dead skin cells and fine facial hair for an immediate smooth, radiant appearance, while a light chemical peel gently exfoliates the skin to improve tone, texture, and overall brightness. During your consultation, your provider can recommend the best option, or a combination of treatments, based on your skin type and goals.

What should I avoid before and after a peel?

Before and after a chemical peel, it's important to protect your skin and follow your provider's instructions. You may be advised to avoid excessive sun exposure, tanning, retinoids, exfoliating products, waxing, and other potentially irritating treatments for several days before and after your peel. Daily sunscreen use is essential during the healing process. Your provider will give you personalized pre- and post-treatment instructions based on the type of peel you receive.
