What is a chemical peel and how does it work?
A chemical peel is a skin resurfacing treatment that applies a professional solution to the skin to exfoliate its outer layers in a controlled way. As the damaged surface cells lift away over the following days, the body responds by producing fresh skin and new collagen. This reveals a smoother, more even, more radiant complexion and improves several common concerns at once. Because the strength and ingredients can be adjusted, a peel can be tailored from a gentle refresh to a deeper resurfacing.
What do chemical peels treat?
Chemical peels are highly effective for a wide range of common skin concerns, including:
- Hyperpigmentation and dark spots
- Melasma
- Sun damage
- Fine lines and early signs of aging
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Active acne and breakouts
- Acne scars and post acne discoloration
Peels also stimulate collagen and elastin, which helps improve firmness, elasticity, and overall rejuvenation. Many patients notice visible improvements in clarity, smoothness, and brightness within about seven days after treatment.
What are the different types of chemical peels?
Chemical peels are generally grouped by how deeply they work, which determines both their strength and their downtime.
- Superficial, or light, peels use gentle acids such as glycolic, salicylic, lactic, or mandelic acid to exfoliate the outermost layer. They brighten and refresh with little to no downtime.
- Medium peels, such as those using TCA or a Jessner formula, reach deeper to treat pigmentation, fine lines, and acne scarring, usually with a few days of visible peeling.
- Deep peels offer the most dramatic resurfacing but are stronger and less common in a medical spa setting.
Most medical spa peels are superficial to medium, and your provider selects the right depth for your skin and goals.
Professional peels we offer
We offer several advanced, medical grade peel systems, each customizable to your skin type and concerns.
VI Peel
The VI Peel is a popular medical grade peel that blends several active ingredients to improve acne, acne scarring, melasma, and signs of aging while promoting smoother, clearer skin. It is well known for being gentle enough to suit a wide range of skin types and tones, which makes it a versatile choice.
ZO Skin Health Peels
ZO Skin Health peels are advanced, dermatologist developed treatments from a respected medical skincare line. They are formulated to improve skin tone, reduce sun damage, and support long term skin health, and they pair well with a ZO home care routine for lasting results.
SkinCeuticals Peels
SkinCeuticals peels are medical grade exfoliating treatments designed to brighten the complexion, improve discoloration, and refine texture. They are a good option for patients who want a noticeable glow with minimal downtime.
Glytone Peels
Glytone peels are glycolic acid based treatments that exfoliate the skin, smooth uneven texture, and promote a brighter, more radiant complexion. Glycolic acid is a well studied ingredient that works well for dullness and early signs of aging.
Are chemical peels safe for all skin tones?
Chemical peels can be performed safely on most skin tones, but the choice of peel matters. For deeper or melanin rich skin, gentler superficial peels using ingredients like salicylic, lactic, or mandelic acid are often the safest starting point, and the VI Peel is formulated to suit a wide range of skin tones. The most important factor is an experienced provider who selects the right peel and strength to brighten your skin while minimizing the risk of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Our providers tailor every peel to your skin type and tone.
How much do chemical peels cost in Wellington?
The cost of a chemical peel in Wellington depends on the type and strength of the peel and whether it is a single treatment or part of a series. Lighter, superficial peels are generally the most affordable, while medium depth and branded peel systems cost more. Because peels often work best in a series, many practices offer packages that lower the cost per treatment. Your provider will recommend a plan and explain pricing at your consultation.
Who is a good candidate for a chemical peel?
Chemical peels suit most adults who want to improve tone, texture, discoloration, acne, or early signs of aging, and they can be tailored for sensitive skin and different skin tones. Peels are generally not recommended during pregnancy or with an active skin infection, and certain medications or recent treatments may require waiting. A consultation confirms whether a peel, and which one, is right for you.
What to expect: before, during, and after
Knowing what to expect helps you get the best result and protect your skin.
- Before: your provider evaluates your skin and may suggest a simple prep routine. Avoid strong exfoliants and sun exposure in the days before your peel.
- During: the solution is applied for a set time. You may feel mild tingling or warmth, which is normal and brief.
- After: depending on the peel, your skin may look slightly pink and then flake or peel over several days. Do not pick or pull at peeling skin, keep your skin moisturized, and protect it with a broad spectrum SPF 30 or higher, since new skin is more sensitive to the sun.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do chemical peels hurt?
Most peels cause only mild tingling or warmth during treatment. Lighter peels are very comfortable, and stronger peels may feel slightly more intense for a short time. Numbing is generally not needed.
Can I get a chemical peel if I have darker skin?
Yes, with the right peel. Gentler superficial peels and formulations like the VI Peel are well suited to darker skin tones, and an experienced provider chooses the right strength to minimize the risk of discoloration.
Can chemical peels treat acne?
Yes. Salicylic acid and certain medical grade peels are very effective for active acne and post acne marks, and peels are often combined with other acne treatments for the best result.
How much downtime is there after a chemical peel?
It depends on the depth. Light peels often have little to no downtime, while medium peels may cause a few days of visible peeling. Your provider will tell you what to expect for your specific peel.
How many chemical peels will I need?
Many concerns improve with a series of peels, often three to six, spaced a few weeks apart, followed by occasional maintenance. A single peel still gives a healthy glow, but a series produces the best lasting results.
What is the difference between a chemical peel and a facial or microdermabrasion?
A chemical peel uses active ingredients to exfoliate and renew the skin more deeply than a basic facial or microdermabrasion, which mainly work on the surface. Peels typically produce more noticeable improvement in tone, texture, and discoloration.
When will I see results?
Many patients notice brighter, smoother skin within about seven days as the outer layer renews. Improvements to deeper concerns like pigmentation and texture continue to build with a series of treatments.
