A chemical peel applies a carefully selected acid solution that removes damaged outer layers of skin. As the skin renews, sun spots fade, texture smooths and tone becomes more even.
Peels range from light "lunchtime" peels with no downtime to medium-depth peels that deliver more dramatic results with about a week of peeling. The right peel depends on your skin type, concerns and schedule.
How the treatment works
Your skin is cleansed and the peel solution is applied in layers for a set time, then neutralized or left to self-neutralize. Most appointments take 30 to 45 minutes.

Peels can absolutely be done on darker skin — the risk comes from the wrong depth, the wrong acid or aggressive treatment without preparation. I prepare the skin for several weeks first, use superficial peels in a series rather than one…
