Peels remove the damaged epidermis, revealing a more even complexion.

Chemical peels increase collagen production, which reduces fine lines and wrinkles.

Fades pigmentation and sun damage

Helps lighten dark spots, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation, giving the skin a brighter, more uniform tone.

In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of chemical peels, what to expect, and how they can transform your skin.

What Are Chemical Peels?

In a chemical peel, the outer layers of dead or damaged skin are removed using a specially formulated chemical solution to remove the outer layers of dead or damaged skin. The solution stimulates the skin’s natural healing process, encouraging cell turnover and the production of new, healthy skin. Depending on the strength of the peel, this can be used to treat a variety of skin concerns, such as:

Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne scars and blemishes
Sun damage and pigmentation issues
Uneven skin tone and texture
Dull or tired-looking skin

Depending on your skin’s needs, Radiance Skincare & Laser Medspa offers a variety of chemical peels. Skin can be gently refreshed with a superficial peel; more advanced corrections can be made with a deeper peel.

Radiance Skincare & Laser Medspa Offers VI Peel

The VI Peel is a medical-grade chemical peel designed to rejuvenate the skin with minimal downtime. This treatment uses a blend of powerful yet gentle ingredients—including trichloroacetic acid (TCA), retinoic acid, salicylic acid, phenol, and vitamin C—to target multiple layers of the skin and deliver transformative results. Unlike traditional peels that can be harsh or require significant recovery, the VI Peel is formulated to be safe for all skin types and tones.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Chemical peel treatments at Radiance Skincare & Laser Medspa last between 30 and 60 minutes, depending on the type of peel used. The treatment involves applying a chemical solution to the skin, causing a mild tingling or warming sensation as it works to exfoliate the top layers of skin. Depending on the strength of the peel, the solution penetrates.
The peel will cause your skin to shed dead cells over the next few days, and you’ll notice a more refreshed, radiant complexion as the new skin emerges. Depending on the intensity of the peel, you may experience mild redness and peeling, which should subside within a week.

Before and After Care Tips
