Chemical peels are professional skin resurfacing treatments that use carefully selected acids to remove damaged outer skin layers and encourage healthy cell turnover. As fresh skin replaces older, duller cells, your complexion becomes smoother, clearer, and more even-toned. At Skinwise, your chemical peel is carefully tailored to your skin type, concerns, and goals, whether you’re addressing acne, discoloration, sun damage, or early signs of aging.

What Do Chemical Peels Treat?

Chemical peels can improve concerns such as:

  • Active acne and clogged pores
  • Acne scars and post-acne discoloration
  • Melasma and stubborn hyperpigmentation
  • Sun damage and age spots
  • Fine lines and rough skin texture
  • Uneven skin tone and dullness
  • Enlarged pores
  • Early signs of skin aging

What Chemical Peels Are Available

Salicylic Acid Peel

A salicylic acid peel is ideal for acne-prone and oily skin. Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that dissolves excess oil inside pores rather than simply exfoliating the skin surface. This helps loosen dead skin cells, reduce clogged pores, dry blemishes, and calm inflammation. With its gentle depth and minimal peeling, it’s an excellent option for improving breakouts.

Jessner Peel

The Jessner peel combines salicylic acid, lactic acid, and resorcinol to exfoliate multiple layers of the skin. This light peel is well suited for acne, post-acne discoloration, uneven texture, and dullness. Together, the ingredients break down the bonds holding damaged skin cells together. The Jessner peel typically produces more visible peeling and greater overall skin rejuvenation.

TCA Peel

A TCA peel uses trichloroacetic acid to penetrate deeper into the skin than lighter peels. It’s recommended for moderate sun damage, pigmentation, rough texture, and fine lines. The treatment removes damaged skin cells while stimulating collagen remodeling during healing, helping healthier skin replace older tissue. Because it works at a greater depth, you’ll experience more peeling and a longer recovery period than with superficial peels.

ZO 3-Step Peel

The ZO 3-Step Peel combines exfoliating acids with retinol to target stubborn melasma, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone. The acids loosen damaged surface cells while retinol accelerates skin cell turnover and encourages healthier pigment distribution. This combination helps gradually fade discoloration while improving overall skin quality. Despite delivering powerful pigment correction, it generally produces only light peeling.
