CHEMICAL PEELS

Improve virtually any skin condition and reveal smoother, brighter, and more even skin with chemical peels.

WHY CHEMICAL PEELS?

Chemical peels can help clear acne, restore a more even skin tone, smooth scarring and wrinkles, and boost skin’s radiance on the face and body!

Chemical peels are blended solutions of acids that encourage the exfoliation of dead skin cells when applied to the skin. They are incredibly versatile and can safely be used on the face and body to address common skin concerns like acne, scarring, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles. Chemical peels safely lift away damaged skin cells to reveal the healthier, more radiant skin beneath. Refinery Skin Clinic offers several different kinds of chemical peels known for their clinical effectiveness, efficacy, safety, and results! Your provider will customize your chemical peel experience to address precisely what your skin needs and will benefit most from.

Common skin concerns that are treated with chemical peels:

  • acne and acne scarring
  • congested skin (blackheads/whiteheads)
  • fine lines, wrinkles, and aging skin
  • sun damage and discoloration/dark spots
  • rosacea and sensitive skin
  • dry and dehydrated skin
  • rough and uneven skin texture

Major benefits of chemical peels include:

  • reduce acne and prevent future breakouts
  • smooth acne scarring and improve pigmentation
  • reduce surface oil and acne-causing bacteria
  • lighten pigmentation and restore a more even skin tone
  • create smoother, tighter, firmer skin
  • reduce facial redness and flushing
  • soften fine lines and wrinkles
  • boost skin’s brightness and luminosity

THE PROCESS

Chemical peels are 100% customizable to address exactly what your skin needs.


A consultation with a Refinery Skin Clinic Advanced Practice Esthetician is required before scheduling your first chemical peel. At this appointment, you will discuss your skin concerns and goals. Your provider will discuss the chemical peels they believe will best match your skin’s needs and map out a treatment plan.

During your first appointment, your provider will apply the chemical peel to your skin in a series of passes. The acids in chemical peels work by dissolving the bonds between the oils of your skin and dead skin cells. As soon as the peel is applied, the active ingredients are absorbed into the skin’s surface layers to kickstart the exfoliation process.

You may notice a light tingling, prickliness, and heat when a peel is first applied to your skin. These sensations are the chemical reaction taking place and are completely normal. Some peels offered at Refinery Skin Clinic need to be neutralized and removed after treatment; other peels you wear home on your skin overnight! Your provider will recommend appropriate skincare before and after your peel to enhance your results and ensure your safe healing post-treatment.

THE RESULTS

See a significant improvement in your skin’s clarity, brightness, and tone in as little as one treatment.

Many Refinery Skin Clinic clients become obsessed with how their skin looks immediately after a peel — bright, tight, glowing, and dewy! This feeling can continue for the first two days, but with most peels, you will begin to experience flaking or peeling by day three or four. (If you don’t peel, don’t worry – the peel is still working, you just had less buildup of dead skin!) This exfoliation of dead cells can continue for up to 10 days, depending on which peel was performed and how many layers were applied. Though tempting, you must not pick or pull off any shedding skin, which can lead to pigment changes and scarring. A daily SPF must be used to protect the fresh, healthy skin coming to the surface.

Depending on your skin concerns, chemical peels are typically recommended in a series of treatments spaced two to four weeks apart. This interval allows the peel to treat deeper layers of the skin with each passing treatment. In some cases, chemical peels can be combined with other forms of exfoliation, like dermablading, to increase the intensity of your exfoliation.

Peels are an excellent way to improve and maintain the health of your skin throughout the year, but caution should be observed when your skin is tanned or will be exposed to the sun. For this reason, most clients begin their chemical peel series in the Fall or Winter.

Your Refinery Skin Clinic provider will recommend specific skincare products immediately after your peel and between peels to help care for your skin and work towards your particular goals. SkinMedica’s EVEN & CORRECT Advanced Brightening Treatment and the LUMIVIVE™ System are strongly recommended for clients wishing to improve their skin’s tone and luminosity with peels, which will further improve pigmentation. We also recommend a physical SPF, like SkinMedica’s Total Defense + Repair Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 34, to protect your skin after receiving a chemical peel.
