How Chemical Peels Work
Chemical peels work by applying a carefully formulated solution to the skin, which exfoliates and removes the damaged outer layers. During the treatment, the chemical solution penetrates the skin at a controlled depth, encouraging the natural cell turnover process and stimulating collagen production. As the old, damaged skin peels away, fresh, healthy skin is revealed. At Théia Aesthetics, we offer medium-depth peels that can address deeper concerns like acne scars, wrinkles, and pigmentation, delivering noticeable results with

Who is a Candidate for Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are an excellent choice for those looking to address concerns like acne, uneven skin tone, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation. Thanks to the advanced formulations we offer, many patients with a variety of skin types and concerns can benefit from this treatment.
However, chemical peels may not be the ideal solution for certain skin issues. If you are seeking to address deep wrinkles, skin sagging, or severe textural concerns, treatments like Morpheus8 skin tightening or IPL may provide better results. During your consultation, our experienced team will evaluate your skin and guide you toward the best treatment to meet your aesthetic goals.
If you are using Retin-A, Hydroquinone, or other strong skincare products, you may need to pause them before and after your peel to avoid irritation. Additionally, if you have a history of cold sores or herpes outbreaks, please let us know so we can recommend preventative care to ensure a safe experience.

Before Your Chemical Peel: Preparation Tips
Preparing for your chemical peel at Théia Aesthetics is an important step to ensure optimal results and a comfortable experience. To reduce skin sensitivity, avoid using retinoids, exfoliants, or other abrasive skincare products for at least 5-7 days before your appointment. Refrain from shaving or waxing the treatment area during this time as well.
It’s also essential to inform your skincare professional about any medications, including acne treatments, as these could impact your peel’s effectiveness. In the days leading up to your treatment, protect your skin by applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily. On the day of your appointment, arrive with clean, makeup-free skin to allow for the most effective application of the peel.
The Chemical Peel Treatment
Your chemical peel at Théia Aesthetics is a straightforward, in-office procedure designed to rejuvenate your skin safely and effectively. Upon arrival, you will be guided to relax in our comfortable treatment area. Your provider will begin by thoroughly cleansing your skin to ensure a smooth application.
Next, a carefully selected chemical solution is applied to the treatment area. This solution works to exfoliate the damaged outer layers of skin, promoting the regeneration of fresher, healthier skin beneath. During the procedure, you may feel a mild to moderate tingling or stinging sensation, which is a normal response and typically subsides shortly after the peel is removed.
The treatment usually lasts between 10-20 minutes, depending on your unique needs and the depth of the peel. Once complete, a soothing moisturizer and sunscreen will be applied to protect and hydrate your skin. Recovery may involve mild redness or peeling for a few days, with results gradually revealing smoother, brighter skin in the weeks that follow.
Tips for Chemical Peel Aftercare
Proper aftercare is essential to ensure the best results from your medium-depth chemical peel. Following your treatment, your skin will likely feel sensitive, and you may experience redness or peeling for several days. To promote safe and effective healing, here are some key aftercare tips:
- Protect your skin: Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily to shield your skin from UV damage. Avoid direct sun exposure for several weeks, as your newly treated skin is more vulnerable to sunlight.
- Hydrate and moisturize: Use gentle, hydrating skincare products to keep your skin nourished and comfortable. Avoid harsh or abrasive products, including scrubs and exfoliants, during the healing period.
- Hands off: Refrain from picking at peeling skin to prevent irritation, scarring, or uneven healing. Let the peeling process happen naturally.
- Stay gentle: Wash your face with a mild cleanser and lukewarm water. Avoid hot water, as it can aggravate sensitive skin.
Our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your specific peel and skin needs. If you have any concerns during your recovery, we’re here to guide you every step of the way, helping you reveal the radiant, refreshed skin you’re looking forward to.
