It’s Peel Season 🍂✨

As the air turns crisp and summer fades into fall, it’s the perfect time to give your skin a fresh start. Chemical peels are one of the most effective ways to renew, refresh, and reveal your healthiest complexion, and autumn is the ideal season to begin.

What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a professional treatment where a solution is applied to the skin to gently exfoliate the outer layers. This controlled process stimulates cell turnover, encouraging new, healthy skin to surface. Depending on your goals and skin needs, peels can range from light and superficial to more advanced treatments.

Why Consider a Series of Peels?

While a single peel delivers noticeable glow and smoothness, a series of treatments offers the most transformative results. By committing to a series, you can:

• Improve skin texture and tone

• Minimize fine lines and wrinkles

• Reduce acne and congestion

• Fade sun damage and hyperpigmentation

• Boost overall radiance

Each session builds on the last, creating long-term improvements for healthier, more youthful skin.

How Long Is the Process?

A chemical peel appointment typically takes about 15–30 minutes in the treatment room. The visible peeling process can last a few days up to a week, depending on the depth of the peel. This is why fall and winter are ideal seasons for your skin, as it is less exposed to strong sun, making recovery smoother.

Pre & Aftercare: Setting Yourself Up for Success

To ensure the best results, proper preparation and aftercare are essential:

Before your peel:

• Avoid at-home exfoliants (like scrubs or retinols) for a full (7-day) week.

• Keep your skin hydrated and protected with SPF.

After your peel:

• Expect mild redness, tightness, or flaking — this is normal.

• Do not pick or peel at your skin as it sheds.

• Use gentle, hydrating products and always apply sunscreen.

• Follow your esthetician’s customized aftercare instructions.

Why a Skin Consultation Matters

Not every peel is right for every skin type, and that’s where your esthetician comes in. A professional skin consultation ensures you’re a good candidate, helps set realistic expectations, and allows your esthetician to recommend the best peel series for your goals.
