Chemical Peel Before & After
How the Chemical Peel Process Works
We can customize certain peels, like the VIPeel, Environ cool peel, and our micro-peels, to treat your skin. We do this because everyone is different, and we want to treat every patient’s individual skin concerns.
Once we decide on a chemical peel that is right for your skin, we’ll schedule a treatment. Once the peel is applied, you’ll soon notice how your skin appears tighter, firmer, shinier, and healthier.
Even Better Results
Want to level up the results of your chemical peel? We can design a custom package or treatment plan to help you get the most out of your time with us.

If you’re looking to repair your skin, you could be a great candidate for a chemical peel. Our chemical peels treat several problems, including:
- Rough skin and scaly patches
- Scars
- Freckles
- Irregular skin pigmentation
- Sun-damaged skin
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne or acne scars
- Age and liver spots
When we use a chemical peel for your skin, we know that we can’t always treat the outer layer alone. Some conditions require a more advanced, in-depth strategy. So we offer some more intense peels that treat deeper areas of the skin. These might require more recovery time, but they will also last longer.
Our options for different peel depths include:
1. Light Peel
This peel is our gentlest, treating the most shallow skin depth. Use this peel if you want to treat:
- Acne
- Acne scarring
- Skin texture
- Skin tone
- Fine lines
2. Medium Peel
Our medium peel works deeper than the light peel. The healing time will be greater, but it also allows us to treat other severe cases of:
- Uneven skin tone/hyperpigmentation
- Sun damage
- Lines and wrinkles
- Acne scars
3. Deep Peel
Our deep peel is our most intense peel. The recovery following the procedure is also the longest. This peel reaches down to the dermis, which is a very deep layer of skin. This can treat serious cases of:
- Wrinkles
- Scarring
- Sun damage
- Actinic keratoses (precancerous growths)
After your skin is done healing, you’ll notice prominent results. Your skin will be shinier and evenly textured. Every patient is different, so we can’t be 100% sure when your healing will be complete. For a deep peel, it may take 14 days, but for a light peel, it could take as little as a single day.
Pre- and Post-Care Instructions for Your Chemical Peel in Canton
- Avoid direct sun exposure & tanning beds for 2 weeks prior to your appointment. We will not treat “tanned” skin.
- Women who are pregnant should not receive chemical peels. If you are nursing and would like to pursue treatment, we ask that you consult your PCP for clearance.
- Your provider can help guide you on your specific products and make recommendations on what to avoid. As a general rule, active ingredients such as acids (glycolic, salicylic, etc,), retinol products (Rx or over-the-counter), or topical prescriptions, such as antibiotic or steroid creams, should be avoided for 7 days prior to your appointment. The exception to this would be if you are using our suggested Environ Vitamin A treatment cream or serum (Youth Essentia A or Skin Essentia A). These products should always be used leading up to your treatment.
- Avoid waxing, bleaching, or depilatory use 7 days prior to your appointment.
- If you are prone to Herpes Labialis outbreaks, we suggest pretreating with an antiviral medication for 2 days prior to your treatment and 2 days post-treatment. Dream Spa Medical is happy to provide you with a prescription, assuming that you are a candidate for this prescription.
- If you are currently taking or have taken Isotretinoin or any Accutane-type medications, we suggest that you wait at least 6 months before pursuing any aesthetic procedures.
- We ask that if you are currently taking oral antibiotics or steroids, you discontinue the medication for 10 days prior to your appointment.
- We strongly suggest that if you are moving forward with pigmentation removal treatments, whether it be just a few stubborn spots or years of sun damage, that you begin using home care products that are tyrosinase inhibitors. These are ingredients that block your melanocytes from producing more melanin. Melanin is produced and travels to the skin’s surface for many reasons—sun, heat, pollution, etc. Using these products will help to ensure that once we remove the lesions, the ingredients will prevent them from returning. We suggest using a SkinCeuticals Vitamin C product mixed with Environ’s Melafade System. These products work together to fight all of the external effects on your melanocytes and will greatly improve your results. We suggest using these products prior to treatment, but it is not a requirement. However, continuing to use these products post-treatment will be a key component in your journey to reclaim your radiant complexion.
- We always suggest hydrating as much as possible prior to any treatment at Dream Spa Medical. It is a great way to help your body function at its best and will help to accelerate your healing time as well as enhance results.
- Each peel and manufacturer will have their own specific post-care instructions and guidelines to follow. Your provider will go through these instructions with you and make any additional recommendations necessary.
- Generally, you can expect all of the peels in our portfolio to produce mild to moderate redness and possible swelling. This will typically subside in 24 to 48 hours.
- Avoid strenuous exercise and sweating for at least 48 hours. Excessive heat should be avoided for the duration of your healing process.
- Your skin may feel tight and itchy for the days directly following the peel and during the shedding process. We suggest applying SkinCeuticals Hydra Balm a few times per day to help with this and also to keep your epidermis protected and in the healing phase.
- You may also apply hydrocortisone or take an oral antihistamine if the itching is bothersome to you. If itching persists despite these processes and/or multiple days pass with no relief, or if you begin to develop a rash or excessive irritation, please call us to schedule a follow-up, during which a provider will make appropriate recommendations.
- Your provider will make appropriate home care recommendations tailored to your specific plan, but a general rule is to avoid all active ingredients such as acids (glycolic, salicylic, etc.), retinol products (Rx or over the counter), or topical prescriptions, such as antibiotic or steroid creams, until your skin feels “back to normal” or for a minimum of 5 days. The exception to this would be if you are using our suggested Environ Vitamin A treatment cream or serum (Youth Essentia A or Skin Essentia A). These products can be used as early as the following day after mild peels and within 2 to 3 days after moderate to severe peels.
- Avoid waxing, bleaching, or depilatory use for 2 weeks post-treatment.
- Avoid any additional aesthetic services, including wrinkle relaxers and dermal fillers, until your skin is fully healed or a minimum of 2 weeks have passed. The exception to this is if your treatment is mild and you and your practitioners have discussed and agreed that you may proceed with wrinkle relaxers immediately following your peel treatment.
- Always use a physical protectant SPF (zinc oxide, titanium dioxide) and reapply throughout the day. We strongly recommend ISDIN Eryfotona Actinica as a base in the morning and ISDIN Mineral brush for reapplying throughout the day.
- We advise keeping the treated area moist. Allow the flaking process to organically happen, and do not pull or pick at the skin, as this may cause unwanted hyperpigmentation and/or irritation.
