Medical-Grade Chemical Peels
Resurface. Renew. Reveal your glow.
What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a professional exfoliation treatment that helps lift away dull, damaged surface skin to reveal a smoother, clearer, and more radiant-looking complexion. At SkinDiva, treatments are selected based on your skin type, concerns, and desired level of renewal.
A chemical peel is a deep resurfacing option that traditionally combines salicylic acid, lactic acid, and resorcinol. It is designed to support skin renewal while addressing visible congestion, uneven tone, sun damage, acne, and textural concerns.
Chemical peels can help improve:
Acne and congested pores
The look of acne scarring
Uneven tone, dark spots, and hyperpigmentation
Fine lines and rough texture
Dullness and visible sun damage
Overall skin clarity and radiance
Frequently Asked Questions
For personalized answers to your questions, please book a complementary consultation and we will address your concerns together.
-
A Jessner Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel that uses a blend of exfoliating acids to renew the skin’s surface. It is often chosen for concerns such as acne, uneven pigmentation, texture, fine lines, and visible sun damage.
-
You may experience warmth, tingling, or a temporary stinging sensation while the peel is applied. Your provider will monitor your comfort throughout the treatment and select an approach appropriate for your skin.
-
Peeling varies depending on the type and strength of the peel. With a Jessner Peel, light to more noticeable flaking commonly begins within a few days and can last approximately five to seven days.
-
Downtime depends on your peel. Lighter peels may cause only mild dryness or flaking, while deeper resurfacing treatments can involve visible peeling and temporary redness for several days.
-
Avoid picking, scrubbing, exfoliating, waxing, or using active skincare ingredients until your provider confirms it is safe. Limit sun exposure and wear broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, as newly resurfaced skin is more sensitive to UV exposure.
-
Your provider will advise you based on the peel you receive and how your skin is responding. In general, it is best to keep the skin clean, hydrated, and free from potentially irritating products while it heals.
-
Avoid direct sun exposure, hot baths, saunas, intense exercise, and irritating skincare products immediately following treatment. Protect exposed skin with broad-spectrum sunscreen and follow the personalized aftercare instructions provided by your SkinDiva professional.
Your Experience at SkinDiva
Your appointment begins with a personalized skin assessment to determine the best peel for your goals and your skin’s current condition. During the treatment, you may feel warmth, tingling, or a light stinging sensation as the peel solution is applied.
Afterward, your skin may feel tight and appear pink or slightly red. Depending on the strength of your peel, visible flaking or peeling may begin over the following days as your skin naturally renews.
Aftercare & Results
Chemical peel results develop as the skin completes its renewal process. For stronger peels such as a Jessner Peel, peeling often begins around day two to four and may last about a week, though each person’s response can vary.
Keep your skin hydrated, avoid picking or pulling at peeling skin, and protect your results with daily broad-spectrum sunscreen. Your SkinDiva provider will give you specific aftercare instructions and recommend the right home-care products for your recovery.
