Our team of two licensed estheticians are expertly trained to administer medical-grade peels and customize them to your skin type and concerns.

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation at our Concord medical spa. We’ll recommend the most appropriate peel type and strength after analyzing your skin and learning about your cosmetic goals. We’ll also provide pre-treatment instructions to prepare your skin for a safe and effective peel experience.

Your peel starts with cleansing your skin to remove oils, products, makeup and debris. Your provider will then apply the chemical solution and let it sit for a predetermined amount of time. During application, you might feel sensations ranging from mild tingling to a warming feeling. Most chemical peel treatments take 30-60 minutes.

Recovery experiences vary depending on the depth of the peel. With light chemical peels, there’s virtually no downtime. Peeling is light or may not occur at all. With deeper peels, peeling begins within a few days post-treatment and lasts two to five days. We provide thorough aftercare instructions to maximize your results and comfort.

While you may notice an immediate glow after your peel, the most dramatic improvements develop as your skin completes its renewal cycle. Full healing takes one to three weeks, depending on peel strength. Regular chemical peels build upon each other to create progressively improved tone, texture and clarity.
