what to expect

your consultation

Treatment begins with a consultation at our Austin clinic. Your provider will evaluate your skin, review your concerns, and recommend the right peel for your skin type, tone, and goals. If you are moving forward, you will receive pre-treatment instructions to follow in the days before your appointment.

during treatment

On the day of treatment, the skin is cleansed and prepared before the selected chemical solution is applied to the treatment area. Most sessions take 30 to 60 minutes. Mild stinging or warmth during application is normal and typically resolves quickly. An air-cooling device may be used throughout for added comfort.

recovery and downtime

Following your peel, expect some redness and a sunburn-like sensation for the first day or two. The skin will begin to peel within 2 to 7 days depending on the peel depth. Most patients return to their regular routine within a few days, with lighter peels carrying minimal downtime. Your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions at your appointment.

types of chemical peels

Revelus Melanage

The Revelus Melanage is a medium-depth peel formulated to target hyperpigmentation, melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone. It uses a combination of melanin-regulating and resurfacing ingredients to visibly reduce discoloration over a series of treatments. This is our most intensive pigmentation-focused peel and is well suited for patients dealing with persistent or stubborn discoloration.

  • Depth: Intense medium
  • Best for: Hyperpigmentation, melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone
Revelus Melanage Mini

The Revelus Melanage Mini delivers the same targeted pigmentation-correction approach as the Melanage at a medium depth with a slightly lower intensity. It is a practical option for patients who want meaningful improvement in hyperpigmentation or post-inflammatory marks with a more moderate treatment experience.

  • Depth: Medium
  • Best for: Hyperpigmentation, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, balanced skin tone
Revelus Melanage Micropeel

The Revelus Melanage Micropeel is a light-depth peel that gently addresses hyperpigmentation and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation with minimal peeling and downtime. It works well as a standalone treatment for patients who prefer a gradual approach, or as a maintenance treatment between deeper peel sessions.

  • Depth: Light
  • Best for: Mild hyperpigmentation, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, maintenance, patients new to chemical peels
VI Purify with Precision Plus

The VI Purify with Precision Plus is a medium-depth peel formulated specifically for acne-prone skin. It targets active breakouts and the dark spots they leave behind, combining salicylic acid and retinoic acid to clear congestion, reduce inflammation, and improve overall skin clarity. It is appropriate for a wide range of skin tones and types.

  • Depth: Medium
  • Best for: Active acne, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, oily or congested skin
VI Peel Body

The VI Peel Body applies the same effective chemistry of the VI Peel to areas beyond the face. It is designed for patients dealing with body acne, chest or back scarring, and sun damage on areas that do not respond well to topical treatments alone.

  • Depth: Medium
  • Best for: Body acne, back acne, chest acne, body scarring and stretch marks

what is a chemical peel?

A chemical peel is an in-office dermatologic treatment that uses a medical solution to exfoliate the outer layers of skin, improving tone, texture, and clarity.

are chemical peels safe?

Yes. When performed by trained dermatology providers, chemical peels are safe and appropriate for many skin types and concerns. Your provider will select a peel formulation suited to your skin and review any relevant considerations before treatment.

can i get a chemical peel if i use tretinoin or retinoids?

Most retinoids, including tretinoin and Retin-A, should be discontinued approximately 1 week before treatment. Let your provider know about all current skincare products and prescriptions at your consultation so they can guide you through the proper preparation steps.

do chemical peels hurt?

Most patients experience mild stinging or warmth during treatment. Any discomfort is typically brief and well tolerated.

will i need more than one chemical peel?

Yes, for most patients. A series of 3 to 6 treatments is commonly recommended, spaced approximately 4 weeks apart. Most patients follow up with 1 to 2 maintenance treatments per year.

what happens during a chemical peel?

Your provider applies the selected chemical solution to the treatment area. The treatment typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. Some peeling or flaking may occur over the following 2 to 7 days, depending on the peel type and depth.

what is the recovery time after a chemical peel?

Recovery varies by peel type. Light peels have minimal downtime, with mild redness and peeling lasting a few days. Medium-depth peels may involve up to one week of visible peeling. Your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions based on your treatment.

when will i see results?

Initial improvements are often visible after the peeling phase resolves. Full results typically develop over several weeks, particularly with a consistent treatment series and proper sun protection.

how long do results last?

Results vary based on the peel type, number of treatments, and your ongoing skincare routine. Lighter peels provide gradual, cumulative improvement with regular sessions. Deeper treatments can offer longer-lasting results when paired with sun protection and maintenance care.

do chemical peels help with marionette lines?

Chemical peels can help improve the appearance of fine lines, including those around the mouth and lower face. For deeper lines or significant volume loss in the marionette area, your provider may recommend combining a peel with a filler or other treatment during your consultation.

will my skin be more sensitive to the sun after a chemical peel?

Yes. Skin is more sun-sensitive following a chemical peel. Daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher is required during the healing period and is recommended long-term to maintain your results.
