Chemical Face Peel Treatments
peel & reveal a brighter future for your skin.
what is a chemical peel
Chemical peels are professional-grade exfoliating treatments that remove damaged outer layers of skin to reveal a smoother, brighter, and more balanced complexion beneath. At Ethos MedSpa, each peel is tailored to your skin’s unique needs—whether you’re looking to target a single concern or address multiple areas like texture, discoloration, or visible signs of aging.
how it works
Chemical peels work by applying a solution of exfoliating acids that gently dissolve the bonds between dull, damaged surface cells. As these layers shed, your skin’s natural regeneration process kicks in—stimulating new cell growth and revealing visibly improved tone, texture, and radiance.
what it treats
Dull or uneven skin tone
Rough skin texture
Fine lines and wrinkles
Acne and acne scarring
Hyperpigmentation and sun damage
Enlarged or congested pores

common questions
how many chemical peel sessions will i need?
The number of treatments depends on your goals and skin condition. Many clients begin with a series of 3–6 peels spaced 2–4 weeks apart. Our team will recommend a tailored plan based on your skin’s response and needs.
what should i avoid after a chemical peel?
Avoid sun exposure, exfoliating products, and heavy sweating for at least 48 hours. Use a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and SPF daily to protect your skin and support healing.
how long will I peel after treatment?
Downtime varies depending on the depth of the peel. Superficial peels typically involve little to no visible peeling, with mild dryness or flaking for 1–3 days. Medium-depth peels may cause moderate peeling that lasts 3–7 days. Deeper peels often involve more noticeable shedding and a recovery period of up to 10 days.
how long do results last after a chemical peel?
Results can last several weeks to months, depending on the type of peel and your skincare routine. Regular maintenance treatments and proper home care help extend the benefits.
are chemical peels safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. We offer peels that are safe for sensitive skin types. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin and select a formulation that offers results without unnecessary irritation.
can i wear makeup after my peel?
We recommend avoiding makeup for at least 24 hours post-treatment to let your skin breathe and recover. After that, lightweight, non-comedogenic products are safe to use.
are chemical peels safe for darker skin tones?
Yes—when performed by experienced professionals using the right peel. At Ethos MedSpa, we’re trained in treating all skin tones safely and effectively.
