Target acne, texture & uneven tone. Book today!_ Chemical peels are professional skin treatments that use carefully formulated acid solutions to exfoliate the skin and accelerate cell turnover. By removing damaged surface layers and stimulating renewal from within, peels improve tone, texture, and clarity while encouraging fresher, healthier skin to take their place. Treatment is commonly used for concerns such as sun damage, uneven pigmentation, acne, and dull skin, but peel type and depth can be customized based on your individual skin and goals. At Trouvaille Med Spa, we offer two trusted peel options—VI Peel® and PRX-T33®. During your consultation, we'll recommend the peel best suited to your skin type, concerns, and desired outcome. - **Sun Damage & Dark Spots:** Fade discoloration and sun spots for a brighter, more even complexion. - **Uneven Skin Tone:** Improve pigmentation irregularities and overall clarity. - **Fine Lines & Early Signs of Aging:** Smooth fine lines as skin renews and collagen production increases. - **Acne & Acne Scarring:** Clear congestion, calm breakouts, and soften the appearance of post-acne marks. - **Dull, Tired-Looking Skin:** Restore radiance by lifting away damaged surface layers. - **Rough Skin Texture:** Refine and smooth texture for softer, healthier-feeling skin. Chemical peels are about revealing the fresh, healthy skin waiting underneath. See how treatment can help brighten, smooth, and renew your complexion. Over time, sun exposure, acne, and slowed cell turnover cause damaged skin cells to build up on the surface—leading to dullness, discoloration, and uneven texture. Chemical peels work by applying a customized acid solution that loosens the bonds between damaged surface cells, prompting the skin to shed and renew itself. This process also stimulates collagen production in the deeper layers, so improvement continues to build in the weeks following treatment. Treatments are performed in the office and usually take 30 minutes or less, making them easy to fit into even the busiest schedule. A chemical peel may be a good option if you're looking to brighten, smooth, or renew your skin. You may be a candidate if you: - **Sun damage or dark spots are becoming more noticeable:** Fade discoloration and restore a more even complexion. - **Your skin looks dull or tired:** Reveal fresher, more radiant skin by accelerating natural renewal. - **Acne or post-acne marks are a concern:** Clear congestion and soften discoloration left behind by breakouts. - **A non-surgical solution fits your lifestyle:** Choose from options with visible peeling or no downtime at all. - **Personalized recommendations matter to you:** Receive a peel recommendation tailored to your skin type, concerns, and desired outcome. ## What to Expect From Chemical Peel Treatment ### CONSULTATION We'll begin with a personalized consultation to discuss your concerns, skin type, treatment history, and aesthetic goals before creating a plan that's right for you. ### APPOINTMENT Most appointments take 30 minutes or less.

Here are answers to some of the questions we hear most often. ### Do chemical peels hurt? Chemical peels typically don’t cause pain, but some individuals might feel a mild warming sensation during the procedure. ### Do chemical peels help acne? Chemical peels can aid in addressing acne concerns. However, it’s essential to opt for a peel that specifically targets acne that contains acids specifically designed to combat it effectively. Your provider will be able to help guide you in this process. ### Can chemical peels be used to treat melasma? Yes, chemical peels can be an effective treatment for melasma, a condition characterized by dark, discolored patches on the skin. Specific types of chemical peels, such as glycolic acid or trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peels, can help lighten these hyperpigmented areas by promoting the shedding of the outer skin layer and encouraging new, even-toned skin to emerge. ### Can you wear makeup after a chemical peel? It’s best to refrain from wearing makeup during the duration of the peel process. ### How long does a chemical peel take to heal? Anticipate a recovery period of about 10 to 14 days following a chemical peel procedure. ### Is it possible to combine chemical peels with other treatments? Yes, chemical peels can be combined with other skincare treatments for enhanced results. For example, combining a chemical peel with microneedling or laser therapy can provide more comprehensive skin rejuvenation. However, it’s essential to space out these treatments appropriately and follow a professional’s guidance to avoid over-stressing the skin.
