Our team of experienced specialists is here to help rejuvenate your skin and reveal a smoother, more youthful complexion through this simple yet transformative treatment.
What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a skincare procedure designed to improve the appearance of your skin by removing its outer layers. First, your specialist will gently cleanse your face, removing any surface oils or buildup. Then, a safe chemical solution is applied in small, targeted areas. This solution creates a controlled exfoliation that encourages your body to regenerate fresh, vibrant skin.
Does a Chemical Peel Hurt?
While chemical peels are not typically painful, they may cause some mild discomfort. Most clients feel a burning sensation for about 5–10 minutes, followed by a stinging sensation. A cold compress can ease this discomfort, and any irritation that follows usually resembles a mild sunburn and fades after a few days.
Benefits of a Chemical Peel
Chemical peels are popular for a reason—they deliver real, noticeable results. Whether you’re hoping to target fine lines, sun damage, or acne, a chemical peel may be the solution your skin has been waiting for.
A chemical peel can help:
Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
Correct sun damage
Improve acne
Diminish the appearance of scars
Correct pigmentation issues
Enhance skin tone and texture
Maximize the effectiveness of your skincare products
How Often Should You Get a Chemical Peel?
The frequency of your chemical peel depends on the type:
Light Chemical Peel – Monthly for continued glow and maintenance
Medium Chemical Peel – Every 3 to 6 months
Deep Chemical Peel – One treatment can deliver results that last for years
At Medarts, we’ll assess your skin and customize a treatment plan that fits your skincare goals and lifestyle.
