Chemical peels offer a safe and powerful solution for exfoliating and revitalizing your skin, promoting a youthful appearance, and addressing various skin concerns such as rough texture, sun damage, and fine lines.
Signs You May Be in Need of a Chemical Peel
If your skin feels dull, textured, or like your products just aren’t working the way they used to, it might be time for a professional reset. Here are some telltale signs your skin could benefit from a chemical peel:
Your skincare doesn’t seem to be working like it used to: When buildup blocks absorption, even your best serums and moisturizers can’t penetrate effectively. A peel helps clear the path so your products can actually perform.
No matter how much you moisturize, your skin stays dry or flaky: Dead skin cells can create a barrier that traps dryness. Exfoliating with a peel removes that layer, revealing smoother, hydrated skin underneath.
Your skin feels rough or looks uneven: Texture issues are often a sign of sluggish cell turnover. A peel encourages new, healthy skin cells to surface for a softer, more refined texture.
You’re noticing more discoloration, fine lines, or dullness: UV exposure and natural aging slow down renewal. Peels help fade dark spots, smooth fine lines, and bring back that healthy glow.
Breakouts or congestion have become more frequent: Dead skin and oil buildup can clog pores and lead to breakouts. A peel clears congestion and keeps pores clean.
Makeup doesn’t sit right or looks patchy: Uneven skin texture and buildup can prevent makeup from blending smoothly. After a peel, skin looks fresh, smooth, and radiant—no filter needed.
You want to prep your skin for a big event or seasonal transition: Peels are a perfect “reset” before holiday photos, special occasions, or simply to refresh your skin for a new season.

Peptide Perfection Peel
The Peptide Perfection Peel combines the power of age-defying Peptides + AHA’s to gently resurface the skin, smoothing uneven texture and minimizing the look of pores for healthy, radiant skin.

Chemical Peel Aftercare Tips
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water and use a light moisturizer to support your skin’s barrier as it renews.
Avoid Sun Exposure & Always Wear SPF. Your skin will be extra sensitive to UV rays. Apply and reapply a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, even indoors.
Skip Active Ingredients. No retinol, AHAs/BHAs, exfoliants, or Vitamin C for at least 5–7 days unless otherwise directed.
Avoid Heat & Sweat. No hot showers, saunas, or intense workouts for 48 hours post-peel to prevent irritation.
Keep Skincare Simple. Stick to gentle, non-active products: a mild cleanser, a barrier-repair moisturizer, and sunscreen.
Avoid Hair Removal Treatments. No waxing, threading, or dermaplaning for at least 1–2 weeks post-peel.
No Makeup for 24–48 Hours. Give your skin time to breathe and heal without congestion.
Don’t Panic if You Don’t Peel. Not all chemical peels result in visible peeling, cellular turnover is still happening beneath the surface.
