The Basics

What is a chemical peel?

A chemical peel applies a carefully selected acid solution to the skin, accelerating cell turnover and removing damaged outer layers to reveal fresh, healthy skin beneath. Medical-grade peels are significantly more effective than over-the-counter options and are customized to your skin type and concerns.

Superficial Peels

Light peels using glycolic or lactic acid that brighten and smooth with no downtime. Perfect for maintaining a healthy glow with regular treatments.

Medium Peels

TCA-based peels that penetrate more deeply to address sun damage, pigmentation, and moderate fine lines. Expect 5–7 days of peeling.

Chemical Peel / PCA Peel

Medical-grade blended peels formulated for specific concerns including acne, melasma, aging, and brightening — with predictable, beautiful results.

Your peel experience

01

Prep

Skin is cleansed and prepped. Nikki selects the appropriate peel based on your skin type, concerns, and tolerance level.

FAQ

Common questions

Will my face peel visibly?
It depends on the peel depth. Light peels may cause subtle flaking. Medium peels produce more visible peeling over 5–7 days. Nikki will advise you on what to expect for your specific treatment.
Can I peel if I have darker skin?
Yes — with the right peel selection. Nikki carefully chooses formulations that are safe and effective for all skin tones, minimizing any risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
How often should I get a peel?
Light peels can be done monthly. Medium-depth peels are typically spaced 6–8 weeks apart. Nikki will recommend a treatment schedule based on your goals.
What should I avoid after a peel?
Avoid sun exposure, active skincare ingredients, exercise, and picking at peeling skin. SPF is essential every day post-peel to protect new skin.
