Alachua Chemical Peels Treatment

Reduce Fine Lines, Acne, Uneven Texture, and Discoloration

Our Chemical Peels treatment use medical-grade solutions that gently exfoliate the skin, removing dull, damaged layers and encouraging healthy cell turnover. We offer light, medium, and deep peels to target a range of concerns, from uneven tone and texture to fine lines, sun damage, and acne scars.

Chemical peels are one of the most effective treatments available for:

• Hyperpigmentation and sun damage
• Melasma
• Acne and acne scarring
• Fine lines and early signs of aging
• Uneven skin tone and texture
• Enlarged pores

What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel uses a customized blend of acids — applied to the skin in a controlled, professional setting — to gently remove the outer layers of damaged or dull skin. As those layers shed, fresher, more evenly-toned skin underneath is revealed, while the controlled exfoliation also stimulates your skin’s natural collagen production.

Our Chemical Peels Option

• Light / Superficial Peels

The gentlest option, using alpha-hydroxy acids to refresh the outermost layer of skin. Ideal for first-timers, sensitive skin, or pre-event glow with little to no visible peeling. Minimal downtime — most patients return to normal activities the same day.

• Medium-Depth Peels (VI Peel & Similar)

A stronger, medical-grade peel that penetrates deeper to target hyperpigmentation, melasma, acne scarring, and more visible fine lines. Visible peeling typically occurs 2–3 days after treatment and resolves within about a week, revealing noticeably brighter, smoother skin.

• Melasma-Targeted Peels

A specialized approach combining peel strength and brightening ingredients specifically suited for stubborn, hormone-related pigmentation.

• Acne-Focused Peels

Formulated with salicylic acid and other pore-clearing ingredients to calm active breakouts and fade post-acne marks over a series of sessions.

We’ll recommend the right depth and formula for your skin during your consultation — not just sell you the most expensive option.

How to Prepare for Your Chemical Peels

• Avoid Retin-A, retinol, or other exfoliating products for at least 48 hours before treatment
• Stop waxing, plucking, or using hair removal products on the treatment area for about a week prior
• Let us know if you have a history of cold sores — antiviral medication may be recommended beforehand
• Avoid excessive sun exposure or tanning in the days leading up to your appointment

We’ll review your full prep checklist at your consultation based on the specific peel you’re getting.

What to Expect During and After Chemical Peels Treatment

1. Consultation & skin assessment – We discuss your goals and select the right peel strength for your skin.
2. Application – The peel solution is applied evenly to clean, prepped skin. You may feel mild tingling or warmth.
3. Processing time – Depending on the peel, the solution stays on for a set period before being removed or neutralized.
4. Immediate aftercare – Hydrating, protective products are applied, along with SPF guidance for the days following.
5. Peeling & recovery – Light peels may show little to no visible flaking; medium peels typically begin peeling 2–3 days post-treatment, resolving within about a week.

How Often Should You Get a Chemical Peels?

• Light/maintenance peels: monthly is a great rhythm for most skin types
• Medium-depth peels (VI Peel & similar): a series of 3 peels spaced 4–6 weeks apart is typical for optimal results, with many patients seeing visible improvement after the first
• Melasma or acne-focused series: often benefit from ongoing peels every 4–6 weeks until goals are met, then quarterly maintenance

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my skin actually peel?
It depends on the depth of the peel. Light peels may show little to no visible flaking, while medium-depth peels typically cause noticeable peeling for several days. Not peeling doesn’t mean the treatment didn’t work — you’re still getting the collagen-stimulating and brightening benefits either way.

How long is the downtime?
Light peels: little to none — return to normal activities immediately. Medium peels: expect some redness and flaking for about a week.

Are chemical peels safe for all skin tones?
Yes — when the right peel type and strength are selected for your skin. We assess your specific skin tone and sensitivity before recommending a treatment.

Can chemical peels treat melasma?
Yes — certain peels are specifically effective for melasma and hyperpigmentation, though results build gradually over a series of treatments combined with consistent daily SPF use.

How many peels will I need?
Most patients see best results from a series of 3 peels spaced 4–6 weeks apart, though many notice visible improvement after just one treatment.

Can I combine a chemical peel with other treatments like Botox or microneedling?
Yes — many patients pair peels with other services for a more complete skin refresh. We’ll help build the right combination and timing at your consultation.
