What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a professional, medical-grade treatment that lifts away dull, damaged surface skin to reveal the smoother, brighter, more even skin underneath. What sets ours apart is how it's chosen — not off a shelf, but built around your skin.
Your provider assesses your skin, tone, and concern, then selects the formula and intensity for that visit. That per-visit customization is why one professional peel can suit sensitive skin, target a specific concern, or serve as steady upkeep in a series — the treatment adapts to you, not the other way around.

What Chemical Peels Help Improve
Whatever your skin needs that day, your customized peel is built to improve the appearance of:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin tone
- Dullness and rough texture
- Sun spots and discoloration
- Mild acne and acne marks
- Overall radiance
Customized to Your Skin and Tone
Because the formula and intensity are chosen per visit, a PCA peel adapts to your skin and your tone. For richer, deeper tones, your provider selects a gentler, appropriate formula and adjusts the approach to help minimize the risk of post-treatment pigment changes. The safeguard isn't a one-size-fits-all peel — it's an experienced provider choosing the right one for your skin.
Which Peel Is Right for You?
Both are professional peels — the right one depends on your skin, your concern, and how you like to treat it. Here's how they compare.

Chemical Peel FAQs in Doral, FL
How many chemical peels will I need to see results?
Many people notice a refresh after one, but best results build over a series of 3–6 peels spaced a few weeks apart. Your provider maps out a plan at your consultation. Results may vary.
How long do chemical peel results last?
With daily SPF and a consistent routine, results can last several weeks to a few months; ongoing peels in a series help maintain them.
How often can I get a chemical peel?
Superficial peels are typically spaced about 2–4 weeks apart in a series; once your skin's where you want it, many clients come in for occasional maintenance. Your provider sets the cadence.
Will I peel afterward, and for how long?
Light, superficial peels usually involve little to no true downtime, though some flaking or light peeling over the next few days is normal. It varies by peel and skin type.
What should I avoid after a chemical peel?
Skip sun exposure, hot showers, sweaty workouts, and exfoliants, and don't pick or peel the skin for a few days — and wear SPF daily. We send you home with personalized aftercare.
Can I wear makeup after a chemical peel?
Best to skip makeup for about 24 hours (or as your provider advises) so skin can settle; after that you're good to go, with clean products and daily SPF.
Do chemical peels hurt?
Most clients feel a mild tingling or warmth during the peel that fades quickly; superficial PCA peels are well tolerated.
Is a chemical peel safe for darker skin tones?
Yes, when matched correctly. Because deeper tones carry a higher risk of post-treatment pigment changes, your PCA-trained provider selects a gentler, appropriate formula and adjusts the approach for your skin.
Can I get a peel if I have sensitive skin?
Yes. Your provider can choose a gentle, low-irritation formula like our Sensitive Skin Peel and adjust the intensity for your skin.
How is this different from the VI Peel?
PCA peels are customized to your skin at each visit; the VI Peel is a set, brand-name protocol chosen for a specific concern, with a take-home kit. Your provider can help you decide.
