Types of Chemical Peels

At The Spa at Wellington, we offer a range of chemical peels, from gentle refreshers to deep resurfacing treatments, ensuring the best professional chemical peels for your skin type and concerns.

Superficial (Light or “Lunchtime”) Peels

  • Targets the outermost skin layer (epidermis)
  • Ideal for treating fine lines, mild acne, uneven tone, and dryness
  • Can be performed every 2-5 weeks for ongoing skin maintenance
  • Common ingredients: Glycolic, Lactic, and Salicylic acids

Medium Peels

  • Penetrates both the outer layer (epidermis) and part of the middle layer (dermis)
  • Effective for addressing moderate wrinkles, acne scars, and discoloration
  • May require multiple sessions for optimal results
  • Common ingredient: Trichloroacetic acid (TCA)

Deep Peels

  • Targets deeper skin layers for dramatic rejuvenation
  • Recommended for severe wrinkles, deep scars, and precancerous growths
  • Typically a one-time procedure with long-lasting effects
  • Common Ingredient: Carbolic acid (Phenol)

Deep Peels have a longer recovery time but offer a more transformative, lasting result.

Chemical Peels Benefits

  • Smoother, More Even Skin Tone: Removes dull, damaged layers to reveal fresh, radiant skin
  • Reduction in Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Stimulates collagen production for firmer skin
  • Minimized Acne & Scarring: Clears clogged pores and reduces the appearance of blemishes
  • Enhanced Skin Hydration: Some peels attract moisture, leaving skin plump and supple

While chemical peels are generally safe, potential side effects include temporary redness, peeling, and, in rare cases, skin discoloration or scarring. Our specialists will assess your skin type and recommend the safest, most effective option for you.

How Chemical Peels Work

Chemical face peels accelerate skin renewal by exfoliating damaged layers, revealing a smoother, more even complexion beneath. These treatments use carefully formulated acids to break down the bonds between dead skin cells, prompting natural regeneration and collagen production. Different acids target specific skin concerns, allowing for a customized approach based on individual needs.

The Science Behind Exfoliation

Exfoliation is the process of removing dead skin cells from the outermost layer of the skin (epidermis). Chemical peels for face use acidic solutions to loosen and dissolve these cells, encouraging the skin to shed and renew itself more effectively. The depth of exfoliation varies depending on the type of peel used.

Types of Acids Used in Chemical Peels

Different chemical solutions are used based on the desired depth of exfoliation and the skin condition being treated. Each acid has unique properties that determine how it interacts with the skin:

Each acid serves a specific purpose, and the right choice depends on your skin type, concerns, and desired results. At the Spa at Wellington, our expert providers customize your peel to ensure the safest, most effective treatment for your skin.

What to Expect During Your Chemical Peel

  • Consultation & Skin Assessment: Our expert aestheticians will review your medical history, discuss your skin goals, and determine the best chemical peels for you. 
  • Preparation: Your skin will be cleansed, and protective measures will be taken for your eyes and hair. 
  • Application: A chemical solution is gently applied to the skin:
  • Light Peel: Mild tingling sensation, neutralized after a few minutes. 
  • Medium Peel: Warm, stinging sensation followed by a cool compress. 
  • Deep Peel: Under medical supervision, applied in intervals for safety.
  • Post-Treatment Care: Your skin will be protected with a soothing ointment and receive detailed aftercare instructions.

Recovery & Aftercare

Healing time varies based on peel intensity. Light peels tend to result in mild redness and dryness; makeup can be applied as soon as the next day. Medium peels result in some moderate swelling and peeling for 5-7 post-treatment. Makeup routines can typically be resumed after one week. Deep peels require more intense recovery, with redness and swelling lasting up to two weeks. 

Sun Protection is key! 

Following a peel, your skin will be more sensitive to UV exposure. We recommend using a high-SPF sunscreen daily to protect your results and prevent further damage.

Who Can Benefit from Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels suit most skin types and concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, acne and acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage.

Professional vs. At-Home Chemical Peels

While at-home peels can offer mild exfoliation, they lack the potency and precision of professional treatments. The Spa at Wellington uses medical-grade formulations to ensure both safety and optimal results, with experienced providers guiding your treatment every step of the way.
