Chemical peels are one of the most effective treatments for restoring brighter, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin. By gently exfoliating the outermost layers, chemical peels encourage healthy cell turnover, revealing a renewed complexion with improved tone and texture. This non-surgical treatment can address a wide range of skincare concerns with little to no downtime, depending on the peel depth.
What Are Chemical Peels?
A chemical peel is a rejuvenating skin-resurfacing treatment that uses a specialized solution to exfoliate and lift damaged skin cells. As the outer layers shed, the skin naturally regenerates, producing a fresher, clearer, and more radiant appearance.
Chemical peels are highly effective for treating:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin tone
- Hyperpigmentation and dark spots
- Sun damage
- Mild acne scars
- Enlarged pores
- Rough or dry texture
- Dull, tired-looking skin
By stimulating collagen production and increasing cellular turnover, chemical peels help reveal a smoother, brighter, and more even complexion.

Types of Chemical Peels
Pure Chateau Wellness Medspa offers a range of peels to suit different skin types and concerns:
Light (Superficial) Peels
Designed to gently exfoliate the top layer of skin, light peels refresh and brighten the complexion with minimal downtime. Ideal for first-time peel clients or those seeking a quick glow.
Medium Peels
Target deeper skin concerns such as pigmentation, fine lines, and acne scarring. Medium peels enhance texture and clarity while promoting stronger collagen renewal.
Advanced Corrective Peels
These more intensive peels address significant sun damage, deeper wrinkles, and stubborn hyperpigmentation. Performed by trained professionals, they deliver dramatic resurfacing results.
Your provider will help you determine which peel best aligns with your skincare goals and tolerance levels.
The Chemical Peel Process
During your treatment, your provider applies a customized chemical solution to the skin. You may experience mild tingling or warmth as the solution activates. Depending on the type of peel, the solution remains on the skin for a few minutes before being neutralized or left to self-neutralize.
As the treated layers begin to shed over the following days, the skin may appear dry or flaky. This is a normal part of the renewal process.
What chemical peels can do:
- Uncover fresh, radiant skin
- Improve the appearance of discoloration
- Smooth surface texture
- Brighten dull areas
- Enhance overall skin clarity
This controlled exfoliation encourages healthier, more vibrant skin to emerge.
What to Expect After a Chemical Peel
Healing time varies based on peel strength:
Light Peels
- Mild redness for a few hours
- Minimal visible peeling
- Results appear within 3–7 days
Medium Peels
- Redness, flaking, and tightness for 3–5 days
- Gradual shedding of dry skin
- Noticeably smoother, brighter results
Advanced Peels
- More significant peeling over 5–7 days
- Temporary redness or sensitivity
- Dramatic improvement in texture and discoloration
Aftercare is essential. Avoid sun exposure, follow moisturizer recommendations, and allow the skin to shed naturally—no picking or exfoliating.
Results continue improving as fresh collagen forms, and the new skin fully develops.
