Choosing The Right Peel
Some clients need a lighter brightening or exfoliating peel, while others benefit from a more corrective option for texture, pigment, or acne-related concerns. A consultation helps match the peel strength and aftercare plan to your skin.
Downtime & What To Expect
Downtime varies by peel. Some options involve little visible peeling, while more corrective treatments may involve redness, dryness, flaking, or peeling for several days. Your provider will explain what to expect before treatment.
How Chemical Peels Work
A chemical peel uses an acid solution to cause a controlled injury to the skin. Each solution reaches a different depth, then the treated layer peels away to reveal new skin underneath.[1] Common peel ingredients include glycolic, salicylic, lactic, and trichloroacetic acid (TCA).[1]
Light, Medium, and Deep Peels
Peels are grouped by how deep they work. Light (superficial) peels stay in the outer layer of skin and can be used on nearly all skin types.[2] Medium-depth peels reach a little deeper and are used for sun spots, pigment changes, superficial scars, and rough texture.[2] TCA can be used for both: lower strengths for superficial peels and higher strengths for medium-depth peels.[2] Deep peels are a separate, surgical-level procedure done under general anesthesia.[3]
What Peels Can and Can’t Do
Peels are used for some types of acne, age spots, uneven skin tone, dullness, fine lines, freckles, melasma, rough-feeling skin, and sun damage.[4] Peels won’t firm sagging skin, and severe wrinkles respond better to other treatments.[1] Deep acne scars and moderate wrinkles usually call for a deep peel, a more intensive procedure.[1] If firming loose skin is your goal, ask us about Morpheus8 RF microneedling.
Chemical Peel Recovery, Day by Day
Before Your Peel
Tell your provider if you take or have ever taken isotretinoin, and share the other medicines and supplements you use. Also mention cold sores, skin that scars easily, and any cosmetic treatments you’ve had.[5] Some people follow a pre-peel skin care plan for 2 to 4 weeks to improve results.[3]
During the Peel
You may feel warmth or heat for a few minutes, followed by stinging. A cool compress can help, and then the solution is washed off or neutralized.[1]
After a Light Peel
Expect redness, then light scaling that lasts about 3 to 7 days. You can usually wear makeup right away or the next day.[3]
After a Medium Peel
Skin is red and swollen, and swelling can build for the first 48 hours. The treated skin crusts and peels off over 7 to 14 days, and camouflaging makeup is usually OK after 5 to 7 days.[3] We’ll give you aftercare instructions for the peel you choose.
How Many Peels You’ll Need and How Long Results Last
You’ll see results once your skin heals.[3] Light peels often take a series of 3 to 5 treatments, spaced 2 to 5 weeks apart.[3] Your provider will recommend a plan at your consultation.
Most results aren’t permanent because skin keeps aging, but light and medium peels can be repeated to maintain them.[3] Daily sunscreen after your skin heals helps protect your results, which matters under the Las Vegas sun.[3]
Chemical Peel Safety
Possible side effects include redness that lingers, temporary darkening of the skin, lighter skin color after medium or deep peels, and, very rarely, scarring.[3] The risk of infection or scarring goes up if you skip sun protection, pick at peeling skin, or wear makeup too soon. Tanning beds are off limits too.[3]
People with darker skin tones can have a higher risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, a darkening of the skin after treatment.[1] That’s why the AAD suggests asking how many peels have been done on people with your skin coloring.[5] Strong peels belong in a professional setting, not at home. The FDA warns against using chemical peel products without a dermatologist or licensed, trained practitioner.[6]

Chemical Peels FAQs
Common Questions
What does a chemical peel do?
A chemical peel exfoliates the skin in a controlled way to improve the look of tone, texture, dullness, fine lines, pigmentation, and some acne-related concerns.
Will my skin peel?
It depends on the peel. Some treatments create mild dryness or flaking, while more corrective peels may involve visible peeling for several days.
Can peels help acne marks?
Yes, certain peels may help improve the appearance of post-breakout marks, light acne scarring, congestion, and uneven texture.
Are peels only for the face?
No. Chemical peels are most commonly done on the face, neck, and hands.[1] Your provider can tell you whether another area makes sense for your plan.
How do I choose the right peel?
Your provider will consider your goals, skin type, pigment concerns, sensitivity, timeline, and desired downtime before recommending a peel.
What aftercare matters most?
SPF, hydration, gentle skincare, and avoiding unnecessary exfoliation are key. Follow the exact aftercare instructions provided for your peel.
Does a chemical peel hurt?
Most people feel warmth or heat for a few minutes, followed by stinging. A cool compress can help ease the sting.[1]
How many chemical peels will I need?
Light peels often take 3 to 5 treatments, spaced 2 to 5 weeks apart.[3] Your provider will recommend a plan based on your skin and goals.
How long do chemical peel results last?
Most results aren’t permanent because skin keeps aging. Light and medium peels can be repeated to maintain results, and daily sunscreen helps protect them.[3]
When can I wear makeup after a chemical peel?
After a light peel, usually right away or the next day. After a medium peel, camouflaging makeup is usually OK after 5 to 7 days.[3]
Can a chemical peel tighten loose skin?
Chemical peels aren’t designed to firm sagging skin.[1] If firming is your goal, ask us whether Morpheus8 RF microneedling fits your plan.
Are chemical peels FDA approved?
The FDA has not approved any chemical peel products. It warns against using them without the supervision of a dermatologist or licensed, trained practitioner.[6]
How much does a chemical peel cost in Las Vegas?
Cost depends on the type of peel and how many sessions you need. You’ll get a personalized quote at your consultation, and you can check our current offers in the Promotions section on this page. Chemical peels are cosmetic, so insurance doesn’t cover them.[4]
