An introductory chemical peel.

Our Level 1 Chemical Peel is our introductory level peel, and we use the PCA Skin Sensi Peel, a superficial-level chemical peel specifically designed for sensitive skin, rosacea, and darker Fitzpatrick skin types.

This peel is generally gentle enough for those who have unpredictable reactions to treatments. Level 1 Peel is is customizable with various additions (like a Hydroquinone Brightening treatment or Pure Retinol treatment). Downtime is more minimal than with some other peels — a good starting point for a minimal downtime enhancement to your skincare routine. You may not experience peeling, per se, but simply tightness or dryness following the procedure.

FAQs

A customized solution will be applied to your skin in the clinic, and in most cases, will be left on the skin for the remainder of the day. There may be slight stinging during the process but subsides quickly. 24-48 hours after, the skin may begin to flake and lift, revealing a layer of fresh skin. Some peels work on a cellular level, and may not produce any peeling, while others can go very deep, and produce a “sheeting” effect for several days. Most peels are best done in a series for best results.

Your skin may begin to feel dry after the first day, then slowly begin to flake and peel. You may experience only a “lacy” texture to the skin, or you may experience heavy peeling for several days. You will be given a post-procedure kit to help support your skin during this time, along with specific follow-up instructions. You can return to normal activities immediately. (Makeup applications may be difficult during peak peeling days.)

We always recommend a series of peels for the best results. While some stronger peels only require one to three treatments, most patients see the best improvement with six to 12 treatments.
