If you’re noticing dullness, uneven texture, or clogged pores and want an effective boost to your skin’s appearance, a chemical peel might be just what you need. Chemical peels gently dissolve dead skin cells, revealing smoother, more youthful-looking skin underneath. They’re ideal for clients looking to refresh their complexion, improve tone and texture, and enhance the benefits of their skincare treatments with minimal downtime.
Chemical peels work by gently penetrating the outer layers of the epidermis and dermis to stimulate the exfoliation of the dead skin cells and produce fresh, healthy skin cells. This process accelerates your skin’s natural renewal cycle, resulting in improved tone, texture, and overall skin vitality.
Depending on the type and strength of the peel, treatments can effectively address a variety of concerns, including sun damage, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, acne, and uneven texture. As we age, skin cell turnover slows down—taking up to 28-30 days—so a series of chemical peels is often recommended to achieve optimal, long-lasting results.
Thanks to their customizable formulas, chemical peels are a versatile treatment, tailored to suit a wide range of skin types and individual skincare goals.
Benefits of Chemical Peels include:
Looking for a fast, effective way to improve your skin’s clarity, texture, and radiance? Chemical peels gently exfoliate dead skin cells while stimulating new cell growth to refresh your complexion. Whether you want to fade sunspots, smooth fine lines, reduce acne scars, or clear clogged pores, chemical peels can be customized to your unique skin concerns and added as a topical boost to your skincare routine.
Unlike more aggressive resurfacing treatments, chemical peels offer a safe, gentle, and effective approach to skin renewal with minimal downtime – perfect for busy clients seeking visible improvements without long recovery.
At Facial Aesthetics, we offer a variety of chemical peels tailored to your needs, including Glycolic peels, and six types of Vitality Institute (VI) Peels.

Chemical peels work by applying a specialized chemical solution that dissolves the bonds between dead skin cells. This process encourages the shedding of the outer damaged skin layers and promotes collagen production underneath, improving skin texture, tone, brightness, and overall health.
We provide a range of chemical peels designed to target various skin concerns and fit seamlessly into your skincare routine. Our offerings include Glycolic peels, Salicylic peels, and six specialized VI Peels, each tailored to specific skin needs:
Glycolic Peels: Ideal for brightening and smoothing the skin, glycolic peels are often used as add-on treatments alongside popular exfoliation treatments. These peels enhance the removal of dead skin cells, improving texture and promoting a radiant complexion.
Salicylic Peels: Perfect for oily or acne-prone skin, salicylic peels help to unclog pores and reduce inflammation.
VI Peel Original: Ideal for first-time chemical peel patients or those new to medical-grade skincare. It’s the gentlest formula in the VI Peel collection, yet still delivers a full-face exfoliation for smoother, brighter skin.
VI Peel Advanced: Specifically designed for mature skin, this peel targets advanced signs of aging by improving skin texture, softening fine lines, and promoting a firmer, more youthful appearance.
VI Peel Purify: Specifically designed for acne-prone and oily skin, this peel helps to reduce breakouts and balance oil production.
VI Peel Precision Plus: Focuses on treating aging signs and pigmentation issues, providing additional anti-aging benefits for more mature or sun-damaged skin.
VI Peel Purify with Precision Plus: Combines the acne-fighting properties of Purify with the anti-aging benefits of Precision Plus, offering comprehensive skin renewal and rejuvenation.
VI Peel Body: Formulated for use on areas from the chest down, this peel improves skin texture, corrects discoloration and sun damage, and stimulates the production of healthy new skin cells for smoother, more even-toned skin.
Some peeling or flaking is a normal and expected part of the chemical peel process, especially with more intense peels. However, if you don’t experience visible peeling, it doesn’t mean the peel isn’t working—the peel works beneath the surface to stimulate cell renewal and improve your skin’s texture and tone without always noticeable flaking.
The VI Peel line includes specialized formulas designed to address specific skin concerns with medium-depth exfoliation that penetrates deeper than many traditional chemical peels. Each VI Peel targets unique issues such as acne, pigmentation, or signs of aging, offering a more comprehensive rejuvenation compared to superficial peels.
In contrast, Glycolic and Salicylic peels are generally lighter, more superficial treatments that primarily exfoliate the outermost skin layer. Glycolic peels are great for brightening and smoothing, while Salicylic peels are effective for oily and acne-prone skin. These peels are often used as gentle add-ons or maintenance treatments and can be combined with procedures like Dermaplaning and DiamondGlow® for enhanced results
Ultimately, the choice between VI Peels and Glycolic or Salicylic peels depends on your individual skin type, concerns, and desired depth of treatment. Our providers will help you select the best peel or combination of peels to achieve your skin goals safely and effectively.
Downtime varies depending on the peel’s strength. Light peels often have little to no downtime, allowing you to resume normal activities immediately. Medium-depth peels, like VI Peels, may cause redness, swelling, and peeling for about 3 to 7 days. Following aftercare instructions is crucial for proper healing and optimal results.
