Peels Explained

How Chemical Peels Work

Applied topically, a chemical peel removes dead skin cells, stimulates new cell growth, and encourages collagen regeneration. We call this “chemical” exfoliation because the peel solution itself sloughs off the outer layers rather than scrubbing them away.

With a series of peels, your skin regains the luster lost to age, sun damage, and environmental pollutants. Chemical peels are versatile, offer one of the best cost-to-benefit ratios in skincare, and address many concerns with minimal downtime, no aggressive treatment required.

How chemical peels exfoliate and renew the skin
Classified by Depth

Light, Medium & Deep Peels

Peels are grouped by how deeply they penetrate the skin. Your provider will match the right depth to your concerns, skin type, and how much downtime fits your schedule.

Gentlest

Light / Superficial

Penetrates only the epidermis (outer layer). Ideal for dullness, mild tone issues, and a quick refresh with little to no downtime.

Balanced

Medium

Penetrates through the epidermis to target more pronounced texture, pigment, and fine lines, with a short social downtime.

Strongest

Deep

Reaches into the dermis for the most dramatic resurfacing. Very strong, with significant downtime and the longest-lasting results.

Our Peel Menu

Chemical Peels We Offer in Berwyn

We offer a range of professional, medical-grade peels, each designed for specific concerns. Our team will help you choose the right one based on your skin type, lifestyle, and goals.

Lactic Acid Peel

Light

A gentle AHA peel ideal for first-time peelers and sensitive skin. It brightens, supports gentle exfoliation, and helps retain moisture and improve tone, often without noticeable peeling. Can be added to a HydraFacial MD for a hydrating glow with no downtime.

Best for: sensitive skin, hydration, tonePeeling: minimal

Salicylic Acid Peel

Light

A BHA peel perfect for oily, thick, or acne-prone skin. It breaks down excess oil and exfoliates inside the pores to reduce blackheads, whiteheads, and inflammation. A series of three is recommended, and it pairs well with a HydraFacial.

Best for: acne, oily skin, congestionPeeling: mild flaking

Glycolic Acid Peel

Light

A favorite for mature skin. This AHA penetrates more deeply than lactic acid to treat sun damage, age spots, and dullness while improving cell turnover, reducing fine lines, and boosting collagen. Works beautifully alongside SkinPen Microneedling.

Best for: aging, sun damage, dullnessSeries: 4–6 treatments

SkinMedica Vitalize Peel

Light–Medium

A light to medium-depth peel that addresses pigment, photo damage, and acne scarring. Stronger than glycolic or salicylic but still safe for most skin types, it stimulates cell turnover, smooths texture, and brightens tone. Often paired with Botox or dermal fillers.

Best for: hyperpigmentation, breakoutsDowntime: 3–5 days

TCA Peel

Deepest Offered

Our most powerful option for deep resurfacing and cellular rejuvenation. While not a true “deep” peel, the Trichloroacetic Acid Peel penetrates significantly deeper than superficial peels to treat melasma, sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, and acne scarring. It promotes collagen and elastin to tighten and re-texturize the skin, with various strengths available for your needs.

Best for: melasma, wrinkles, deep pigmentDowntime: 7–10 daysExpect: visible peeling and flaking

Common Questions

Chemical Peel FAQs

Peels use chemical exfoliation to remove the skin’s aged outer layers and reveal fresh, new skin, improving fine lines, tone, texture, and scarring while stimulating collagen production. A series is tailored to your needs and comfort level so your skin can rebuild itself naturally.

Chemical peels are generally well tolerated. During application you may feel slight itching or stinging, but with a cooling fan there is little to no discomfort. As your skin sheds its outer layers over the next several days, the natural peeling process involves no pain.

It depends on your individual needs. Most patients begin to see results after the first treatment. Typically a series of 3 to 6 peels spaced about a month apart is recommended.

Peels reveal younger-looking skin and offer a non-invasive solution to many signs of aging, including fine lines, uneven skin tone, sun damage, scarring, and hyperpigmentation.

Downtime depends on the peel. With a medium peel you can expect a social downtime of about 3 to 10 days, with peeling and some redness. Minimal sun exposure for about 3 weeks afterward is recommended.

While not every peel suits every skin type, our chemical peel experts at Elite Med Spa offer a variety of options and will recommend the safest, most effective peel for your skin.
