Frequently Asked Questions

How do chemical peels function?

Chemical peels use acid formulations to strip away compromised skin layers, exposing healthier tissue while stimulating natural cellular renewal for enhanced texture and look.

When will I notice chemical peel results?

Gentle peels create instant brightness with progressive enhancement over days. Moderate peels show results after peeling completes, usually in 7–10 days. Intensive peels demonstrate significant results following 2–3 weeks of recovery.

How long will the results of my chemical peel last?

Gentle peels maintain effects for 4–6 weeks, moderate peels for 3–6 months, and intensive peels can preserve results for years with appropriate skincare and sun safety.

Are chemical peels painful?

Most clients notice mild burning during treatment. Gentle peels feel like a light sunburn, while intensive peels may cause more discomfort, which can be managed through cooling methods and pain relief when necessary.

Should I expect skin peeling afterward?

Peeling intensity depends on treatment depth. Gentle peels may cause light flaking, while moderate and intensive peels result in more noticeable peeling over multiple days during normal recovery.

Do chemical peels require recovery time?

Gentle peels need no recovery period. Moderate peels require 5–7 days for healing. Intensive peels require 10–14 days of recovery, accompanied by detailed aftercare protocols and temporary social restrictions.

Which skin issues respond to chemical peels?

Chemical peels successfully address wrinkles, UV damage, dark spots, breakouts, acne marks, color inconsistencies, rough surfaces, and light to moderate aging signs.

What do chemical peels cost?

Treatment fees depend on peel selection and intensity, generally between $100 and $400 per session. Your final cost reflects your particular skin requirements and desired outcomes.

Can chemical peels work with other procedures?

Absolutely. Chemical peels pair well with microneedling, laser procedures, and clinical facials. We’ll design a complete treatment strategy aligned with your skin objectives.

When administered by qualified medical practitioners, chemical peels maintain excellent safety records. We thoroughly review your skin characteristics and health background to recommend the most appropriate treatment for superior outcomes.

What Our patients
Say

I cannot say enough about Hiatt from my very first visit, she has been nothing short of amazing. She truly listens to your concerns and offers thoughtful, personalized recommendations without any pressure. I appreciated that she gave me options to consider and explained clearly, making the decision process feel empowering and stress-free.

The clinic offers flexible payment options which made chosen procedure much more accessible. After careful consideration, I decided to move forward with a few cosmetic treatments. Hiatt was incredibly gentle throughout the entire process, always checking to make sure I was comfortable. Her technique is precise and her bedside manner is warm and reassuring.

She follows up after the procedure to see how you are doing. I felt completely supported every step of the way. I am now two weeks post- procedure, and I'm thrilled with my results. I look natural and refreshed, exactly what I had hoped for. I highly recommend her to anyone considering cosmetic treatments.
