ABOUT CHEMICAL PEELS

Chemical peels are exfoliating solutions customized for different skin types. Our practitioners incorporate various active ingredients to exfoliate dead skin cells and reveal a new layer of skin. Depending on the peel's depth, different skin layers will be targeted, and the application process may vary. Superficial skin peels are applied in layers and left on your skin, unlike deeper chemical peels that are timed and removed. The strength of a superficial peel is controlled by the number of layers applied.
A chemical peel involves applying a chemical solution to your face to remove damaged skin cells and stimulate a fresher, younger-looking complexion. When the dull, damaged surface layer of your skin is removed, new, healthier cells grow in its place. Different types of chemical peels use various acids, some stronger than others. Our practitioners will help you understand the differences and suggest the peel that works best for your skin type and concerns.
On average, a chemical peel can take between 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the type of peel and the number of layers applied. During the application, you may feel a warming sensation. Light peels generally require little to no downtime, while medium and deep peels may require a few weeks to recover. It is essential to avoid the sun and active skincare ingredients (retinol, vitamin C, etc.) until your skin is fully healed.

ABOUT ENLIGHTEN PEEL

The Enlighten Peel is an advanced, professional-grade skin rejuvenation treatment that combines exfoliation with a customized depigmentation system. It may help reduce visible signs of sun damage, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and melasma while enhancing overall skin clarity and brightness.
This 28-day system includes an in-office peel followed by a guided at-home skincare regimen designed to encourage smoother texture and a more even tone. Because it is suitable for all skin types, including darker tones, it’s a safe alternative for individuals who may not be ideal candidates for laser treatments.
The in-office peel typically takes 20–35 minutes. After cleansing the skin, your provider applies the Enlighten Peel, which remains on your face for 8–12 hours before being rinsed off at home. You’ll receive a post-care kit and detailed instructions for continued use over the next four weeks.
Within the first two days, you may experience mild redness or swelling, followed by gentle peeling or flaking for about 1–2 weeks. This process helps lift dead skin cells and reveal new, smoother skin underneath. Most clients notice a brighter, more even-looking complexion after completing the 28-day system.
The Enlighten Peel treatment uses a combination of exfoliating and brightening agents that work together to help resurface and renew the skin. It may help reduce the look of hyperpigmentation and melasma by targeting excess pigment while promoting skin cell turnover.
By encouraging exfoliation and minimizing melanin production, the peel helps the skin appear more refined and radiant. The included at-home Enlighten Peel skin care kit continues the brightening process, supporting long-term results.
- Diminished appearance of dark spots and melasma
- Smoother, more even-looking skin tone
- Reduction in visible acne scars and discoloration
- Brighter, more radiant complexion
- Safe and effective for all skin types
After your treatment, it’s essential to follow the provided aftercare routine for optimal results:
1. Continuous Depigmentation: The home-care products help maintain exfoliation and brightness.
2. Soothe & Protect: Always use sunscreen and gentle skincare to support healing.
3. Follow-Up Appointment: A follow-up visit in two weeks allows your provider to assess progress and target remaining pigmentation areas.
You may experience mild redness, tightness, or temporary sensitivity for several days. Peeling typically lasts for 5–10 days. In rare cases, minor irritation or dryness may occur. If you experience persistent discomfort, contact your provider immediately.
