What can I expect during a chemical peel?

Time for a Reset

Before your peel begins, your provider may gently cover your eyes with goggles or gauze and protect your hair so the solution stays exactly where it should. Light peels typically don’t require pain medication, while stronger peels may be paired with a sedative, pain reliever, or a numbing cream to keep you comfortable.

During the treatment, your Marvel Cosmetic MedSpa specialist applies a customized chemical solution with a sponge, brush, gauze, or cotton pad. As it settles into the skin, you may notice a warm or tingling sensation, similar to a light sunburn.

Once the solution has done its work, your specialist carefully removes it with a neutralizing wash or solution. Cool compresses and a handheld fan may be used to calm and soothe your skin. After a light peel, most patients see the initial healing process complete within one to seven days.

Healing from a medium or deep peel usually takes about 14 days and can extend over several weeks as fresh, healthy skin continues to reveal itself. To explore whether a chemical peel is right for your skin, connect with Marvel Cosmetic MedSpa to schedule a personalized consultation.

How Skin Learns to Glow

What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a non-surgical treatment that gently removes dull, damaged skin so fresher, smoother skin can take its place. During your treatment, a carefully selected solution—often using ingredients like AHAs, BHAs, glycolic, salicylic, or lactic acid—is brushed across the skin in a precise, even layer.

Think of a chemical peel as a reset for your complexion. The solution loosens the bonds that hold dead skin cells together, allowing the outer layer to shed naturally over the next several days. As this happens, softer, more even-toned skin is revealed underneath. You'll notice a clearer, more refined surface and a healthy, fresh-looking glow.

Chemical peels can be customized to address many concerns, including acne and acne scars, rough or uneven texture, fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and sun damage. Your provider will recommend the depth that fits your goals and lifestyle:

  • Light Chemical Peels: Gently exfoliate the top layer of skin to brighten tone and smooth mild texture concerns.
  • Medium Chemical Peels: Reach deeper layers to soften moderate sun damage, pigmentation, and more noticeable texture.
  • Deep Chemical Peels: Target advanced wrinkles and deeper scars for more dramatic, long-lasting improvement.

What Skin Concerns Can Chemical Peels Improve?

Formulations for Every Goal

Chemical peels are beautifully versatile, offering a refined way to refresh and reset the look and feel of your skin.

Acne & Post-Breakout Marks

Thoughtfully chosen acids, like salicylic and TCA, help calm active breakouts while softening the lingering spots they leave behind.

Uneven Tone & Dark Spots

Peels brighten dull, uneven areas and help fade discoloration from sun exposure, hormones, or past irritation for a more even, radiant tone.

Rough Texture & Visible Pores

By gently lifting away built-up, dull skin, peels smooth rough patches and refine the look of enlarged pores for a softer, more polished surface.

Fine Lines & Subtle Scarring

Collagen-stimulating peels soften early lines and mild scars, helping your skin appear smoother, firmer, and more refreshed over time.

Deeper Wrinkles & Textured Scars

Stronger, deeper peels reach below the surface to remove damaged cells and encourage more intensive renewal for etched lines and deeper scars.

Sun Damage & Precancerous Changes

Medium and deep peels can address stubborn sun damage and rough, scaly patches, supporting healthier-looking, more resilient skin.

Your Skin, Your Peel

Am I a Candidate for a Chemical Peel?

You may be a strong candidate if you're looking to smooth acne scars, even out discoloration, or soften visible signs of aging. Your provider may delay treatment if you have an active cold sore, recently had facial surgery, or are currently using retinoids or topical treatments such as benzoyl peroxide.

For some patients, your provider may suggest a short course of antiviral medication to help prevent flare-ups.

Chemical peels can be tailored for many skin types, but the depth and ingredients should be chosen with care, especially if you have deeper skin tones, sensitivity, or a history of reactive skin.

Chemical Peel Recovery

Caring for Renewed Skin

Healing time varies based on how strong your peel is and how your skin responds.

  • Light Peels: Mild flaking and redness for about 1–3 days
  • Medium Peels: Noticeable peeling and redness for roughly 5–7 days
  • Deep Peels: Significant peeling, swelling, and recovery that may last 10–14 days

During this time, you'll be asked to avoid direct sun, heavy sweating, and makeup until your provider says it's safe. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily and follow every aftercare step closely to protect fresh skin and support smoother, longer-lasting results.

Visibly Refreshed & Radiant

Chemical Peel Results

You'll often see smoother texture and a more even, refined tone after just one professional peel.

For more advanced concerns, a series of treatments is usually best. Acne scars, deeper lines, and stubborn discoloration tend to respond well to multiple peels spaced about 4–6 weeks apart. With each session, your complexion can look brighter, clearer, and more radiant as fresher skin comes to the surface. Paired with a thoughtful skincare routine and daily sun protection, your results can last for many months.

Chemical Peels

Frequently Asked Questions

Many patients notice a brighter, smoother complexion after a single peel. For deeper concerns, like pronounced acne scarring, stubborn discoloration, or more advanced texture changes, a series of treatments often delivers the most refined results. Think of it like training your skin over time rather than expecting everything to change at once. During your consultation, your provider will map out a treatment plan that fits both your skin and your schedule.

After a peel, your skin needs time to recover and rebuild its protective barrier. Makeup can interfere with that healing process, so it's best to pause until your provider clears you. With lighter peels, this is often just a few days. Deeper peels may require a week or slightly longer before you return to your normal routine. Once you're ready, gentle, non-comedogenic products are key.

Most patients describe the sensation as warm, tingly, or mildly prickly rather than painful. You may feel a bit of intensity for a few minutes while the solution is active, then it typically eases. Deeper peels can feel stronger, with temporary stinging or tightness, but your provider will monitor you closely and can use cooling techniques or numbing options to keep you comfortable from start to finish.

Your skin is more delicate and sun-sensitive after a peel, so protecting it is essential. Direct sun exposure should be avoided until the peeling and redness have settled. Daily sunscreen, wide-brimmed hats, and seeking shade help prevent dark spots, redness, and other setbacks. Think of this phase as protecting your investment. The better you shield your skin now, the longer your results last.

Facial scrubs use tiny particles to manually buff away surface buildup, which can sometimes be too rough or uneven. Chemical peels work differently. They use carefully selected acids to dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells, encouraging them to shed in a more controlled, even way. This deeper, more precise exfoliation can soften fine lines, fade discoloration, smooth texture, and refine pores in a way traditional scrubs simply can't match.
