Physician-grade peels · Three depths · Honest downtime
One treatment family, three depths — from a lunchtime glow to real correction. We match the peel to your skin in a free consultation, tell you exactly what the week after looks like, and publish the price.
A chemical peel is a physician-grade acid solution, brushed on for a few minutes, that lifts away damaged surface layers so fresher, more evenly toned skin can replace them. These are clinical strengths — several times what any drugstore product is allowed to contain — which is exactly why depth is a medical decision here, not a menu choice.
We work in three depths. Superficial peels (glycolic or lactic blends) are the “lunchtime peel”: brightening and smoothing with little to no visible flaking. Medium peels (TCA blends) correct — sun damage, post-acne marks, rough texture — and come with about a week of honest, visible peeling. Deep peels are reserved for significant damage, administered with physician oversight, and carry real downtime we’ll walk you through candidly before you decide anything.
Which depth is right depends on your skin, your tone, and your calendar — that’s what the consultation settles. And if your concern lives deeper than the surface, like acne scarring or laxity, microneedling reaches where peels can’t, and we’ll tell you so.
No mystery pricing, no “call for a quote.” Every peel includes a take-home post-care kit, because results depend on the week after as much as the minutes in the chair.
| Treatment | Best for | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Superficial peel (“the lunchtime peel”) | Dullness, mild texture, pre-event glow | From $150 |
| Medium-depth peel | Sun damage, post-acne marks, etched texture | From $295 |
| Peel series — 3 superficial peels | Cumulative brightening, spaced 4–6 weeks | $399 (save $51) |
| Post-care kit — gentle cleanser, barrier balm, SPF 30 | Every peel, every depth | Included |

A good fit if you’re dealing with:
We’ll ask you to wait (or choose differently) if:
For a medium-depth peel — superficial peels skip most of this.
Skin looks lightly bronzed and feels tight, like a mild sunburn. No flaking yet. You can work, run errands, live normally — just no gym sweat or direct sun.
Flaking starts around the mouth and chin and spreads outward. The one rule: don’t pick, don’t peel it yourself. Balm, not fingers — picking is how pigment marks happen.
Flaking finishes and the new skin underneath is noticeably brighter and smoother. SPF 30 every morning is non-negotiable for the next several weeks — it protects your result.
You’ll feel warmth and tingling that builds for three to five minutes — most clients call it “spicy” rather than painful — and we hand you a fan, which genuinely helps. Medium peels run more intense, but the active phase is short and we neutralize or remove the solution on schedule. Nobody white-knuckles it here.
Depends on the depth. Superficial peels work cumulatively — a series of three, spaced four to six weeks apart, is where the visible change happens, which is why we price the series at $399. A medium peel is usually a once-a-year correction. Your esthetician will map this out in writing before you book anything.
Yes — carefully. Melasma is heat- and inflammation-sensitive, so an overly aggressive peel can darken it. Our protocol preps your skin with brightening ingredients for several weeks first, uses conservative depths, and pairs everything with strict daily SPF. Slower, but it works without the rebound.
Depth. Peels resurface the top layers — tone, brightness, surface texture, pigment. Microneedling works underneath, stimulating collagen for acne scarring, fine lines, and firmness. Some clients alternate the two across a year. If your concern is scarring, start with our microneedling page — it’s likely the better fit.
A superficial peel: one week out, so the glow peaks on time. A medium peel: at least three to four weeks out, so peeling is long finished and the brightness has settled in. Wedding or reunion on the calendar? Tell us the date and we’ll schedule backwards from it.
