A professional, medical-grade chemical peel is one of the most effective ways to refresh dull, uneven skin. At SolSkinn Medical Aesthetics, every peel is customized to your skin, your concerns, and your comfort level.
What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a controlled exfoliation treatment that uses a professional solution to remove dead, damaged skin cells from the surface of the skin.
As old skin cells shed, fresh new skin is revealed underneath. This process stimulates renewal and improves texture. It can also help skincare products, like Vitamin C and targeted serums, absorb more effectively.
At SolSkinn, we use AlumierMD medical-grade formulations. These peels are designed to treat specific skincare concerns while supporting your skin barrier.

How to Prepare
In the days leading up to your peel, you may need to pause certain active products such as retinoids or exfoliating acids.
Avoid excessive sun exposure before your appointment, and arrive with clean skin whenever possible. Do not stop prescribed medications unless advised by your healthcare provider.
Your Treatment
Appointments take about 45–60 minutes.
We begin by cleansing and prepping your skin to ensure even penetration. The customized chemical solution is applied in thin layers. You may feel mild tingling or warmth. This sensation is temporary and usually subsides quickly.
Some peels are self-neutralizing, while others are gently neutralized after a set time. We finish with calming, hydrating products and broad-spectrum SPF.
You can return to most normal activities right away. We will send you home with detailed aftercare instructions.
Your Results
Many clients notice brighter, smoother-looking skin within a few days, especially after lighter peels.
Improvements in tone, acne, pigmentation, and fine lines develop gradually over a series. As new skin cells regenerate, overall skin quality continues to improve.
Most clients benefit from a series of 3–6 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart. Maintenance peels may be recommended every few months to support long-term skin health. Your treatment plan will be tailored to your goals.
Chemical Peel Recovery Day by Day
Here’s what most clients can expect while recovering. Timing can vary based on peel strength and your skin.
- Immediately after: Skin may look slightly pink and feel tight. This is normal.
- Days 2–3: Skin may begin to feel dry or lightly flaky.
- Days 3–7: Mild peeling or shedding may occur. Avoid picking or exfoliating. Keep skin hydrated and wear SPF daily.
Peeling varies from person to person. Some clients experience minimal visible flaking, while others notice light shedding.
Are Chemical Peels Safe?
When performed by a trained medical professional, chemical peels are considered safe and effective cosmetic treatments.
Common temporary effects include redness, dryness, tightness, and light peeling. Rare risks can include prolonged irritation or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
We may postpone your peel if you are pregnant, have active infections, open wounds, or certain medical conditions. Careful screening and conservative selection are always prioritized.
