Performed by our experienced providers, chemical peels are safe, effective treatments that can be tailored to your specific skin type, skin concerns, and aesthetic goals. We proudly offer a range of peels, including VI Peels, SkinMedica peels, and ZO 3-Step peels to achieve optimal results with every treatment plan.
How Chemical Peels Work
A chemical peel treatment uses a carefully selected chemical solution to break down dead skin cells and stimulate exfoliation. As the outer layers of skin are shed, new, healthy skin is revealed. This process also stimulates collagen production and encourages cellular turnover—a powerful combination for smoother texture, fewer breakouts, and more even pigmentation.
Types of Chemical Peels We Offer
At Mystique Medical Spa, we offer both light and medium-depth chemical peels to address a variety of skin conditions, including discoloration, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and acne scars.
VI Peel
This medium-depth, medical-grade peel is known for its versatility and effectiveness. It targets multiple skin concerns at once, including sun damage, melasma, acne, and the appearance of fine lines. Safe for all skin tones, VI Peels require little downtime and deliver noticeable results in just a few days.
SkinMedica Illuminize Peel
A gentle, superficial peel ideal for first-time patients or those with sensitive skin. The Illuminize Peel helps brighten skin, reduce mild discoloration, and restore a refreshed, healthy glow with no visible peeling.
SkinMedica Vitalize Peel
This moderate peel penetrates deeper layers of skin to treat sun damage, fine lines, acne, and pigmentation. It may involve a few days of light peeling and is a popular option for patients seeking visible rejuvenation with minimal recovery.
ZO 3-Step Peel
ZO 3-Step PeelThis innovative medium-depth peel is designed to improve the appearance of skin texture, firmness, and tone while addressing stubborn pigmentation, fine lines, and acne. It combines exfoliation with a potent blend of retinol, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory agents to maximize collagen production and cellular renewal. Ideal for those seeking comprehensive anti-aging and skin-restoring benefits, the ZO 3-Step Peel offers dramatic results with minimal downtime.
Preparing for
Your Chemical Peel
Your provider will review your skin type, medical history, and skincare goals to determine which peel is right for you. In some cases, we may recommend pre-treatment skincare to condition your skin or ask you to stop using harsh products before treatment, especially for medium peels or combination treatment plans that include injectables like BOTOX or fillers.
What to Expect During Treatment
- Your skin will be cleansed and prepped to remove oils and impurities.
- The chemical solution is applied carefully and left on for a specified amount of time.
- You may experience mild tingling or warmth as the peel works.
- After the peel, we apply soothing products to support recovery.
The process typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, and most patients return to daily activities immediately afterward.
Aftercare & Results
Following your chemical peel:
- Avoid sun exposure and use SPF 30+ daily to protect your skin.
- Wear a hat to protect your face when outside
- Skip exfoliants and retinoids for at least a week.
- Use gentle moisturizers to hydrate and support healing.
- Don’t pick at peeling skin to prevent scarring or irritation.
Peeling may begin within 48 hours and last 3-5 days, depending on the type of peel. If you experience large sheets of dead skin, gently trim it away with small scissors. Your skin will gradually look clearer, smoother, and more even, with results that can last for months with proper skincare.
Chemical peels improve the appearance of:
- Acne and acne scars
- Sun damage and age spots
- Melasma and hyperpigmentation
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin tone and skin texture
- Dullness and clogged pores
Yes. We tailor every chemical peel to your specific skin type, tone, and concerns. Our providers have experience treating patients with sensitive skin, rosacea, and darker skin tones.
While some patients see improvement after one session, a series of 3 to 6 peels spaced a few weeks apart often yields the best anti-aging and brightening results.
Absolutely. Peels are commonly paired with injectables like BOTOX and fillers, or with treatments like microneedling or IPL for full-spectrum rejuvenation.
Lighter peels may cause little to no visible peeling, while medium peels can lead to flaking and sensitivity for 2 to 5 days. We’ll guide you through every step of your recovery.
