Best Chemical Peels near me in Millview, Halifax

Your skin will start to flake (like sunburn) 3-5 days after your peel, and you’ll probably only start to see the real results when new skin cells generate. It’s likely that you’ll notice an improvement in skin tone and texture after your first session, but it normally takes several treatments to achieve your desired skin goal.

Chemical peels typically cost between $90 and $155 per session for superficial to medium peels, with deep peels priced higher. Fresha shows upfront pricing before you book.

When carried out by an experienced dermatologist or practitioner, chemical peels can achieve great results, reducing skin discoloration, wrinkles, and acne with minimal discomfort. However, you need to be prepared for your skin to start peeling 3-5 days after your treatment in a similar way to flaking, sun-burned skin. Your skin will be vulnerable at this stage: pick at it and you could cause irritation and infection. Those prone to acne may experience breakouts, but these should clear up within a few days, leaving your skin looking healthier. You’ll also need to avoid high temperatures, over-exertion, and wearing makeup for 1-2 weeks.

A chemical peel is a skin resurfacing treatment that uses an acid solution (such as AHA, BHA, TCA or phenol) to exfoliate the outer layers of the skin. Depending on the peel depth, superficial, medium, or deep, it can improve skin texture, tone, fine lines, acne, and pigmentation.

Superficial peels have minimal downtime: some redness for a day or two. Medium peels may cause peeling and redness for 5–7 days. Deep peels require more significant recovery of 1–2 weeks. Your provider will advise on aftercare and sun protection.
