What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a professional skin-resurfacing treatment in which a topical solution is applied to exfoliate dead skin cells and trigger regeneration of healthier skin. At Futalo Aesthetics, we offer a wide range of chemical peels, from light exfoliation treatments to deeper peels designed to correct advanced concerns.
Chemical peels can improve:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and melasma
- Acne and acne scars
- Redness, blotchiness, and dull complexion
- Surgical scars or enlarged pores
- Dull skin
- Fine wrinkles
- Skin texture
- Sun spots
- Age spots
- Dark spots
- Acne prone skin
Chemical peels work by removing superficial skin layers, which helps reveal new skin that is smoother, brighter, and more even in tone.
Our licensed estheticians specialize in tailoring each chemical peel to match your skin type and desired results. We use ingredients like lactic acid, salicylic acid, and trichloroacetic acid in different peels to target specific concerns such as acne, pigmentation, and skin rejuvenation.
Types of Chemical Peels We Offer
We provide three levels of chemical peels, each designed to target specific skin concerns. Light chemical peels, also known as superficial peels, are suitable for all skin types and are considered a safe skin resurfacing procedure, especially for those with darker skin tones to help prevent hyperpigmentation. Repeated treatments can enhance and maintain the results of these procedures over time.
Light Chemical Peel (Superficial Peel)
This peel exfoliates only the outermost layer of skin (epidermis) to refresh the complexion. It is ideal for:
- Fine lines
- Mild acne
- Uneven skin tone
- Dull or rough skin
Light chemical peels are also effective to treat fine wrinkles with minimal downtime.
These peels have little to no downtime and can be performed in a series for ongoing improvement.
Medium Chemical Peel
A medium peel penetrates beyond the epidermis into the upper dermis. It is a great option for:
- Deeper wrinkles
- Acne scars and lip lines
- Sun damage and pigment irregularities
Medium chemical peels are also effective to treat wrinkles, improving their appearance as part of an anti-aging regimen.
Medium peels involve minimal downtime and may be combined with other treatments like microneedling or laser skin resurfacing for enhanced results. The typical recovery time for a medium chemical peel is five to seven days. A medium chemical peel involves redness as a normal part of the healing process. Most patients can wear makeup to cover any residual redness after five to seven days.
Deep Chemical Peel
A deep peel penetrates the deeper layers of the dermis for the most dramatic transformation. It can address:
- Severe wrinkles and creases
- More stubborn acne scars
- Significant pigmentation issues
- UV-damaged skin
However, even deep chemical peels are not effective for removing deep scars; alternative procedures may be needed for such concerns.
Deep chemical peels typically require 3–5 days of downtime. Our expert estheticians will discuss your expectations and ensure a safe, effective treatment plan. Treated skin may appear red or swollen after the procedure, and it is important to apply ointment to soothe the area and promote healing.

FAQs About Chemical Peels
Are chemical peels safe? Yes. When performed by our experienced estheticians, chemical peels are safe and effective with minimal risk of complications. If you are wondering, “Is a chemical peel good for all skin types?”—superficial peels are generally considered safe and beneficial for most skin types. However, a chemical peel may not be good for everyone, as there are potential risks such as hyperpigmentation, especially for darker skin tones. It is important to consult with our professionals to determine if a chemical peel is good for your specific skin type and concerns.
How many chemical peel sessions will I need? Many clients see improvement after just one peel. However, a series of treatments is recommended for the best results, especially for deeper skin concerns. Repeated sessions can be particularly effective in reducing acne scarring.
Can chemical peels be combined with other treatments? Absolutely. Chemical peels pair well with microneedling, HydraFacials, or laser skin treatments to maximize results. As a skin resurfacing procedure, chemical peels can be safely integrated into a comprehensive skincare plan.
Do chemical peels work for all skin types? Yes, but our team will carefully choose the right peel type and strength to suit your unique skin type and sensitivity level.
