What is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a treatment that involves applying an acid solution to the outer layers of the skin that causes it to exfoliate and peel off. This peeling process encourages new skin to grow, creating a fresh, new appearance. A chemical peel can treat the skin on your face, neck, or chest, and provide incredible improvement in your skin’s clarity, radiance, and texture. Plus, they can be done at different depths, from “light” to “deep” depending on the results you want.
What skin issues do chemical peels treat?
Chemical peels are used to reduce fine lines around the eyes and mouth, treat wrinkles, remove sun spots, and reduce the appearance of these common concerns:
Acne scars and flare-ups
Hyperpigmentation
Signs of aging
Sun damage
Wrinkles
Scarring
Dull texture
Dark skin patches
We offer several amazing, customized peels to choose from with a variety of strengths and solution types. This helps us to better find a treatment catered to your individual needs, which we’ll go over with you at your initial consultation. Our medically performed chemical peels can be used to target specific areas of concern and speed up your individual results.

Micro Peel with Sensitive Solution contains Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Phytic Acid, and Niacinamide to address fine lines, wrinkles, large pores, uneven tone, and age spots. Known as the “Red Carpet Peel.” What makes this skin treatment different is that it is suitable for all skin types, even sensitive ones. This works by gently exfoliating the outer layer of the skin while leaving it hydrated and radiant.
Gel Peel SM

Salicylic Acid dissolves debris and sebum in the pores, leaving your skin feeling deep cleansed and less oily while Mandelic Acid treats the skin by gently controlling the bacteria and reducing redness and pigment in the skin.

Cranberry, raspberry, blueberry, blackberry, and bearberry work in conjunction with TCA to leave your skin looking and feeling younger.Flaking or slight peeling is normal
INTERMEDIATE
MicroPeel
MicroPeel is a new, “no knives” technique that uses 20% or 30% Glycolic Acid to remove the surface layer of dead skin cells to leave healthier, younger-looking skin. Micro Peel works on the principle of dermal infusion, where substances are absorbed through the skin and into the bloodstream to nourish and rejuvenate the cells. Micro Peel gives an immediate glow because it works on both the surface and deeper layers of the skin at the same time. It also stimulates collagen production, which makes the face appear smoother and more youthful over time.
MicroPeel Plus
20% or 30% Salicylic Acid peel reduces the appearance of blemishes and acne and prevents future breakouts by dissolving the excess sebum and built up dead skin cells that cause acne. Encourages cell renewal resulting in less skin imperfections, pigmentation, and dullness. Most beneficial for oily, nonsensitive, acne prone skin
TCA

ACP offers an excellent solution for complexions that are dull, uneven, or rough in texture.

ACP is useful in diminishing hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage, pregnancy masking, or chloasma due to hormonal changes.

Chemical Peel FAQ
We offer customized chemical peels that will suit your specific skincare needs. Come in for a free skincare analysis where our estheticians will determine which type of chemical peel and how many treatments you will need to achieve your desire results.
How many treatments will I need?
How many treatments you have total will depend on your skin, desired goals, and the type of chemical peels or other procedures in your treatment plan. Our Modern MedSpa professionals will design a treatment plan catered to your needs. Some patients are happy with results after their first treatment; however, the most typical treatment plan includes anywhere from three to six treatments spaced out by every four weeks.
What is the chemical peel process like?
Before your treatment, we’ll go over your expectations, review your medical history to ensure your safety, and clean your face prior to your peel. During treatment, you may feel a mild stinging sensation while the chemical solution is applied to your skin. After a few minutes of letting the solution do its job, a cool compress will be applied to soothe the skin. Depending on how deep your treatment is, a neutralizing solution may also be applied. This process takes around 30 minutes to one hour from start to finish.
After your treatment, redness and swelling is completely normal and will settle over time. We’ll give you specialized instructions on how to care for your skin, which includes a careful selection of ointments and moisturizers to protect your skin while it heals.
Now, the waiting period starts! Your skin will begin to peel and flake off over the next seven days, similar to a sunburn. Be diligent with sunscreen and avoid direct sunlight for several weeks after treatment. You should see your skin drastically improve over the next several weeks. A mild peel can be repeated at around four weeks until you get your desired results.
Do chemical peels burn?
Our experienced staff at Modern MedSpa is here to provide you with a comfortable and enjoyable experience. While our patients do not need pain relief treatments with chemical peels, comfort levels do vary from patient to patient and will change based on the type and the strength of acids used. Deeper treatments may feel more of an intense burn with our glycolic, salicylic, and TCA based peels.
Am I a good candidate for a chemical peel?
One of the reasons we love chemical peels is because they are effective and safe for almost all skin types. While we tend to see the best results in our fairer-skinned patients, we also expect to see excellent results in a variety of skin tones, depending on skin concerns. We will not perform our chemical peels if you’re currently pregnant or using Accutane or similar skin medications. We also may need to postpone treating patients who have recently waxed, gotten a sunburn, used AHA’s or a Retinol in the previous week, had laser treatments, or facial plastic surgery.
