What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a medical-grade exfoliation treatment designed to resurface your skin by removing dull, damaged outer layers. Using controlled acids such as glycolic, salicylic, lactic, or TCA, chemical peels help stimulate cell turnover and collagen renewal, leaving your skin smoother, brighter, and more even in tone.

What Can Chemical Peels Treat?

Chemical peels do more than just exfoliate, they target the underlying causes of skin dullness, congestion, and discoloration. We use our chemical peel treatments to help improve:

  • Acne and post-acne scarring
  • Sun damage, melasma, and pigmentation
  • Uneven skin texture and enlarged pores
  • Dull, tired-looking skin
  • Fine lines and early signs of aging

Our medical team may recommend a series of peels, or combine your peel with other science-backed skin treatments like microneedling (MNRF), Sylfirm X, or Hydrating Skin Boosters for optimal resurfacing results.

The Science Behind Chemical Peel Facials

At TA, we’re not just applying a generic “face peel” and sending you on your way. We use personalized, evidence-based protocols that align with your skin health, sensitivity level, and long-term goals.

We’re proud to be a leader in medical-grade chemical peel treatments in Toronto and the GTA, using the same professional standards taught through the Canadian Association of Medical Aesthetics.

How Chemical Peels Work at the Cellular Level

Chemical peels work by breaking down the bonds between dead or damaged skin cells on the surface, allowing healthy new cells to rise to the top. This process promotes:

  • Accelerated cell turnover for clearer, smoother skin
  • Stimulation of collagen and elastin to improve firmness and texture
  • Improved absorption of active ingredients in your skincare routine

Different depths of peel (superficial to medium or deep) allow us to treat everything from minor congestion to more visible issues like acne scars, dark spots, and deep pigmentation. Results are progressive—meaning your skin continues to improve over several weeks.

Results, Aftercare & Longevity

What to Expect During & After Your Treatment

During the Peel: You may feel a mild tingling or warmth as the peel activates. Most sessions last 30–45 minutes.

Immediately After: Skin may appear flushed or feel tight. Peeling may begin 2–4 days later, depending on the peel depth.

Downtime: Minimal. You can resume most activities right away, but sun protection and gentle skincare are essential.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chemical Peels

What is the best chemical peel for sensitive skin?
Sensitive skin is something we deal with often. We offer multiple peel types and strengths that are designed for sensitive or rosacea-prone skin (like lactic acid and mandelic acid peels). A skin assessment will determine the best choice.
How many chemical peels do I need?
Most patients see results after 1 peel, but a series of 3–6 is recommended for deeper issues like acne scars or hyperpigmentation.
How to choose between a chemical peel, facial, or microneedling?
It depends on your skin goals. If you’re targeting deep pigmentation, acne scars, or texture, chemical peels are ideal. For deep tightening and remodeling, Morpheus (RF Microneedling) is better. For hydration and glow, Glass Facials and Venus Glow are perfect. During your assessment, we’ll guide you through the best option (or combination!) for your skin.
Can I combine chemical peels with other treatments?
Yes! Many people combine their peels with microneedling, PRP, or hydrating boosters for enhanced collagen stimulation and results.
Will my skin visibly peel?
It depends on the peel. Light peels may result in flaking, while deeper peels can cause noticeable peeling. This is normal and expected.
Is there downtime?
Very little. You may have some redness or flaking, but most people return to daily activities immediately.
