Chemical peels: controlled renewal, done right.
A good peel doesn’t burn your face off. It’s a precise, clinician-selected exfoliation that clears the way for brighter, smoother, clearer skin — chosen for your skin type, your concern, and your tolerance.

What a peel actually does.
Your skin naturally sheds its outermost layer of cells, but that process slows with age, sun exposure, acne, and inflammation. Dead cells build up, pores congest, pigment sits closer to the surface, and skin looks dull and uneven.
A chemical peel uses carefully chosen acids to loosen the bonds that hold those cells together, so they release in a controlled way. That renewal does more than polish the surface: it can help clear congestion, fade discoloration, refine texture, and signal the skin to rebuild.
Peels range from very superficial (barely any flaking) to deeper (more downtime, more change). The right peel isn’t the strongest one — it’s the one matched to your skin type and concern. Different acid families behave differently: some are oil-soluble and clear pores, some are gentler and better for sensitive or darker skin, and some target pigment specifically.
What peels can help with
Acne & congestion
Oil-soluble acids work inside the pore to clear buildup and calm breakouts.
Post-acne marks
Accelerated renewal helps fade lingering dark and red spots after breakouts heal.
Melasma & uneven tone
Pigment-targeting formulas, used conservatively, help lighten discoloration without provoking rebound.
Rosacea-prone redness
Gentle, low-irritation formulas can improve texture and tone in reactive skin.
Dullness & texture
Removing built-up surface cells reveals smoother, brighter skin that reflects light evenly.
Fine lines
Repeated renewal supports collagen and softens early lines over a series.
How we use peels.
Peels are chosen during your skin assessment — and are most powerful as part of a plan rather than a one-off.
Microneedling + Targeted Peel
A clinician-selected peel for acne, melasma, or rosacea-prone skin, layered into your $395 microneedling session to renew the surface while collagen rebuilds below.
Peel Selection & Skin Prep
We assess your skin type, tone, sensitivity, and goals, and may recommend a short prep routine first — especially for pigment-prone skin — so your skin responds evenly.
Glo2 Facial
Prefer no peeling at all? Our Glo2 Facial exfoliates, oxygenates, and infuses with zero downtime — a great maintenance option between peel series.
Your visit, start to finish
Skin assessment
Your skin type, tone, history of pigmentation, sensitivities, and current products all shape which peel is right.
Prep
Some skin benefits from a few weeks of prep to even out pigment response. We’ll also tell you which products to pause beforehand.
Treatment
Your peel is applied and monitored closely, with timing and layers adjusted to how your skin responds.
Peel & protect
Depending on the peel, expect anything from no visible peeling to several days of light flaking. Gentle care and strict SPF are essential.
Build a series
Most concerns improve over a series spaced several weeks apart, with results compounding each time.
Honest expectations
Superficial peels often mean little to no visible peeling; stronger peels can bring 3–7 days of flaking. We’ll tell you exactly what to expect for your peel.
Don’t pick or pull at peeling skin — it can cause marks. Let it shed on its own.
Sun protection is non-negotiable after a peel. Fresh skin is more vulnerable to UV and to new pigmentation.
