What Are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are treatments that use carefully selected ingredients—such as salicylic acid, and other exfoliating agents—to renew the skin's surface. These solutions work by loosening and removing damaged outer layers, allowing healthier skin to emerge. Peels can be performed on the face, neck, and hands to address concerns such as sun damage, uneven tone, fine lines, and discoloration. Each treatment is customized to your skin, creating a controlled exfoliation process that reveals smoother, clearer, and more refreshed skin underneath.

What Benefits Can I Expect from a Chemical Peel?

At Aesthera in Clovis, your treatment is selected based on your skin type and the specific results you want to achieve. With the right approach, chemical peels can deliver noticeable improvements, including:

  • Fading the appearance of sun damage and discoloration
  • Creating a brighter, more refreshed complexion
  • Improving overall skin tone and uniformity
  • Softening fine lines and early wrinkles
  • Minimizing the look of acne scars and textural irregularities
  • Promoting firmer, healthier-looking skin
  • Helping to manage and reduce active breakouts

Each peel is chosen and customized to support clearer, smoother, and more balanced skin over time.

Chemical Peels At-a-Glance

VI Peel | 30 minutes

Designed specifically for acne-prone skin and is usually completed in a series of three treatments. Downtime is minimal, with the possibility of mild, superficial flaking after treatment.
VI Peel

VI Peel

The VI Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel that delivers noticeable improvement across a wide range of skin concerns. Suitable for all skin types, it can be used on multiple areas of the body, including the face, neck, chest, arms, back, and legs. It is also gentle enough for more delicate areas, such as under the eyes.

This treatment can be performed as a single session or as part of a series, depending on your goals. Because it works at a deeper level, you can expect visible peeling and flaking for approximately 5 to 7 days as the skin renews.

Aesthera selects VI Peels to address:

  • Acne and active breakouts
  • Acne scarring
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Age spots and sun damage
  • Hyperpigmentation and melasma
  • Rosacea-related redness
  • Enlarged pores

Each treatment is selected and customized to support clearer, smoother, and more even-looking skin.

Face Reality Acne Peels

Face Reality Acne Peels are designed to target breakouts at the source while supporting clearer, more balanced skin over time. These treatments focus on reducing congestion, calming inflammation, and improving overall skin health.

Formulated with a combination of exfoliating acids—such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs)—along with antioxidant support, these peels work to clear pores, remove buildup, and reduce acne-causing bacteria. Each treatment is tailored to your skin type and the severity of your breakouts.

Face Reality Acne Peels can be used to address a range of acne types, including whiteheads, blackheads, inflamed breakouts, and deeper, more persistent blemishes.

What Is the Chemical Peel Procedure Like?

Once the appropriate peel has been chosen, your skin is first cleansed and prepped for treatment. The selected solution is then carefully applied to the targeted areas.

During the application, you may notice a mild tingling or warming sensation as the peel begins to work on the skin; this is a normal part of the process.

After the treatment is complete, the peel is either neutralized or allowed to process as directed, and calming products are applied to help soothe and support your skin.

How Much Recovery Time Will I Need?

Recovery will vary depending on the type of peel selected, but all chemical peels require careful sun protection during your skin's healing. During the peeling phase, it’s important to limit direct sun exposure and apply SPF consistently, as your skin will be more sensitive. With treatments like the VI Peel, the solution remains on your skin after you leave the office and is washed off at home later. You’ll be provided with a post-treatment kit that includes products designed to support and guide the peeling process.

Peeling typically begins a few days after treatment and can last up to about a week, depending on your skin. During this time, it’s best to avoid strenuous activity until the peel is removed, and to hold off on wearing makeup while your skin is shedding. Rest assured, we’ll provide clear aftercare instructions so you know exactly what to expect and how to care for your skin throughout the process.

FAQs

Is a Chemical Peel Safe for Sensitive Skin?

Many chemical peels, including the VI Peel, are formulated to be well-tolerated—even for more sensitive skin types. The best approach is determined during a consultation, where we assess your skin and recommend the most appropriate treatment.

How Long Is the Recovery Time?

Downtime depends on the type and depth of the peel. With treatments like the VI Peel, visible peeling usually begins within a few days and can last several days. Most patients can return to their normal routine shortly after treatment.

Can Chemical Peels Be Combined with Other Treatments?

Yes. Chemical peels can be incorporated into a broader treatment plan alongside services like facials, microneedling, or laser treatments to enhance overall results. Your plan will be customized based on your skin’s needs and goals.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

The number of sessions varies depending on your concerns and desired outcome. Some individuals notice improvement after a single treatment, while others achieve the best results with a series of treatments spaced out over time.
