The word "peel" means very different things depending on the formula. Some deliver deep correction with a few days of visible peeling. Others refresh and repair with almost no downtime. Choosing the right one for your skin, your goals and your calendar is what makes the difference.
Here are the four chemical peels we offer, and who each one is for.
The Perfect Derma Peel®: our strongest correction
The Perfect Derma Peel® is a medical-grade peel and one of the strongest corrective options available. Its main ingredient is glutathione, a powerful antioxidant known for its brightening effect, combined with:
TCA, for controlled, effective exfoliation
Retinoic acid, to encourage cell turnover
Vitamin C, to brighten and support healthy skin
Best for: moderate to severe sun damage, melasma, acne scars, fine lines and uneven texture.
Treatment time: 30 minutes. Downtime: 3–5 days of visible peeling.
The real work happens in the days after, as damaged skin sheds and fresher, more even skin comes through. Don't pick or peel the skin yourself. We'll send you home with clear aftercare instructions, and many clients plan their peel before a quieter few days.
BioRePeel®: results with minimal downtime
BioRePeel® is formulated to exfoliate while hydrating and protecting the skin. It combines 35% TCA with amino acids and vitamins, which is why it's effective but still comes with minimal downtime.
Best for: early signs of aging, dull or acne-prone skin, and clients who want little downtime.
Treatment time: 30 minutes. Downtime: minimal, with some mild flaking.
FACTORFIVE Renew: growth factors for repair
FACTORFIVE Renew Dermal Solution is a growth-factor peel. It uses growth factors derived from human stem cells, the signaling proteins that tell skin cells when to repair and renew, to support cellular repair.
Best for: fine lines, texture, dehydration and clients who need a collagen boost.
Treatment time: 30 minutes. Downtime: none to very minimal, with possible mild flaking for 1–3 days.
Face Reality® acne peels: part of a clearing program
Within our Face Reality® Acne Solutions Program, we use customized acne-safe peels to target the oil, bacteria, inflammation and clogged pores behind breakouts. They're paired with a step-by-step home routine.
Treatment time: 45–60 minutes. Downtime: light to moderate exfoliation.

Make your peel work harder
Add dermaplaning. Removing dead skin and peach fuzz first helps your peel work more evenly:
Dermaplane + Peel: enhanced exfoliation and cell turnover
Dermaplane + BioRePeel®: targets acne scars, pigmentation and texture
Dermaplane + FACTORFIVE® Renew: growth-factor renewal
Pair with Aerolase® for stubborn pigment. For stubborn melasma, we pair Aerolase® NeoSkin® with chemical peels.
