Chemical Peels in Vancouver
Our skin is impacted by factors throughout our lives, including environmental damage, sun damage, lifestyle choices, genetics, and aging. These factors can impact the appearance and feel of the skin, resulting in fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, scars, dullness, dryness, and more. Chemical peels are a proven solution to remove the outer layers of damaged skin, revealing youthful skin underneath.

Who is a Candidate?
Chemical peels can address many different skin concerns using different peeling solution ingredients such as glycolic acid and salicylic acid. While light peels are ideal for almost anyone, medium and deep peels address more noticeable signs of aging.
This treatment may not be recommended for those with a history of abnormal scarring, skin conditions that increase skin sensitivity, or very dark skin tones. The best way to determine if a chemical peel is right for you is to schedule a consultation with one of our experienced aestheticians.
The Chemical Peel Treatment
Chemical peels are available as different chemical solutions, providing different results. The depth of the chemical peel will depend on the individual’s aesthetic goals.

Light Chemical Peels
Light chemical peels, also known as superficial peels, use a mild chemical solution to remove the outermost layer of damaged skin cells. This option is often ideal for those with fine wrinkling, acne, uneven skin coloring, or sun-damaged skin to help achieve a healthy glow. Recovery from light peels is minimal, with little to no downtime.
Medium Chemical Peels
Medium peels remove the outermost layer and the upper part of the middle layer of damaged skin cells. A medium peel may be a good choice for those with moderate skin discoloration, age spots, acne scarring, or fine to moderate wrinkling. Recovery from medium peels may take a week or more.
Deep Chemical Peels
Deep chemical peels produce the most dramatic results, as this solution reaches down to the lower middle layer of the skin. This choice is often ideal for those with moderate lines and wrinkles, deep acne scars, and extensive sun damage. A deep peel requires longer downtime than light or medium peels. This treatment may also require pre-treatment for up to eight weeks.
What Can I Expect After Treatment?
The downtime following a chemical peel treatment may vary depending on the depth of the peel. Our team will provide you with specific aftercare instructions to ensure proper healing and desired results. However, with any chemical peel treatment, patients should avoid sun exposure and protect their skin while outdoors with sunscreen with an SPF of 30+.
