Professional Chemical Peels
Serving Delray Beach, Boca Raton, Boynton Beach and nearby Palm Beach County
We offer SkinMedica® and VI Peel treatments without automatically placing everyone into the strongest option. Your skin, current products and acceptable downtime are reviewed before the peel is selected.
Common Treatment Goals
A peel is not automatically the right answer for every concern. Your skin condition, history and current products are reviewed before treatment.
Peels may help improve the appearance of surface discoloration and an uneven-looking complexion.
Controlled exfoliation can help remove accumulated surface cells and create a smoother appearance.
A lighter peel may be considered when the goal is a controlled surface refresh rather than an intensive procedure.
Certain peel options may be considered for congestion and active breakouts after the skin is evaluated.
A peel may help gradually improve the appearance of discoloration left behind after breakouts.
Some professional peels are used to soften the appearance of mild surface lines and general textural aging.
Simple Guidance
Your Appointment
The skin review is not an unnecessary extra step. It determines whether a peel is appropriate and which level makes sense.
We discuss current skincare, prescription products, recent procedures, sun exposure, irritation and the amount of downtime you are comfortable with.
The appropriate SkinMedica or VI Peel option is selected and applied according to your skin condition and treatment plan.
You receive instructions covering cleansing, moisturizing, sun protection, visible peeling and when to resume active skincare ingredients.
Before Treatment
Professional chemical peels should not be treated like a casual add-on without reviewing the skin first. Tell us about anything that may affect treatment before your appointment.
Recovery Expectations
This is why the page does not promise “no downtime” for every peel. Recovery depends on the formula and treatment intensity selected.
Mild sensitivity, dryness or light flaking may occur. Some lighter peels produce little visible peeling.
Follow the aftercare instructions and avoid restarting strong active ingredients until advised.
Visible flaking and peeling should be expected. The amount and timing can vary from one client to another.
Do not pull or manually remove peeling skin. Follow the provided home-care instructions and protect the skin from unnecessary sun exposure.
Frequently Asked Questions
A lighter SkinMedica peel is generally selected when a client wants controlled surface exfoliation with less visible peeling. VI Peel is a more involved resurfacing option, and visible flaking or peeling should be expected.
It depends on the peel selected. A lighter peel may cause mild dryness or limited flaking. VI Peel typically involves a more visible peeling process.
You may be instructed to stop retinoids, exfoliating acids, scrubs and other active skincare ingredients before treatment. Tell us about recent procedures, sun exposure, irritation and prescription products.
Avoid pulling peeling skin, unnecessary heat, heavy exfoliation and strong active ingredients until your provider says they can be resumed. Use the recommended moisturizer and sun protection.
Possibly, but those products must be discussed before treatment and may need to be paused. Do not stop a prescribed medication without guidance from the prescribing clinician.
The timing depends on the peel, the skin’s response and the overall treatment plan. Some clients schedule a single peel, while others complete a properly spaced series.
