Chemical Peel Treatment
What is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a professional skin-resurfacing procedure that uses a specialized solution of acids to gently remove dead skin cells, stimulate collagen production, and encourage new cell growth.
By exfoliating the top layers of skin, a chemical peel helps reveal smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin underneath.
How Does a Chemical Peel Work?
Application of Peel Solution:
A customized blend of acids (such as glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, TCA, or phenol) is applied to the skin.Controlled Exfoliation:
The solution penetrates the upper layers of skin, breaking down the bonds that hold dead cells together.Regeneration Process:
As old, damaged cells shed off, new skin cells regenerate — resulting in a healthier, firmer, and rejuvenated appearance.Collagen Boost:
Deeper peels stimulate collagen remodeling, helping improve texture, tightness, and elasticity over time.
Types of Chemical Peels at Luxe Aesthetics
Mild (Superficial) Peel – The “Glow Refresh”
Best for:
Dullness, uneven tone, mild acne, early aging signs
How it works:
A gentle peel using mild acids like lactic, mandelic, or glycolic acid. It works only on the outermost layer (epidermis) to brighten and refresh the skin without downtime.
Benefits:
Instantly improves radiance

Hydrates and revitalizes skin
Downtime:
Virtually none. You can resume normal activities immediately.
Some mild dryness or flaking may appear for 1–2 days.
Recommended sessions:
A series of 4–6 peels every 2–3 weeks for best results.
Moderate (Medium) Peel – The “Renew & Restore”
Best for:
Sun damage, acne scars, uneven pigmentation, fine lines
How it works:
Uses acids like trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or higher-strength glycolic/salicylic acids to reach the middle layer of skin (dermis).
This peel removes damaged skin cells more deeply and stimulates collagen and elastin renewal.

Evens out pigmentation and sunspots
Improves mild acne scars
Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
Refines pores and texture
Gives a youthful, healthy glow
Downtime:
Mild redness or peeling may occur for 3–5 days, revealing new, radiant skin beneath.

Strong (Deep) Peel – The “Total Rejuvenation”
Best for:
Deep wrinkles, stubborn pigmentation, severe acne scarring, aging skin
How it works:
A high-strength peel using phenol or deep TCA, which penetrates into the deeper dermal layers.
It provides dramatic resurfacing and regeneration for advanced skin concerns under medical supervision.
Benefits:
Smooths deep wrinkles and lines
Treats severe hyperpigmentation and sun damage
Tightens and firms aging skin
Boosts collagen and long-term renewal
Downtime:
Redness, peeling, and mild sensitivity for 7–10 days.
Results, however, are long-lasting and transformative.
Recommended sessions:
Usually a single session is sufficient, followed by maintenance treatments as advised by your specialist.
