What Is a Chemical Peel?
Our patients love a good chemical peel, but do you really understand its purpose? A chemical peel is a popular skincare treatment designed to rejuvenate and refresh your complexion. If you’ve been curious about what happens during the process or heard myths deterring you from this amazing treatment, Youthful Infusion Med Spa is here to break it all down.
Debunking Myths About Chemical Peels
Myth 1: Chemical peels are only for severe skin issues.
Chemical peels are offered in varying strengths and can be customized to treat everything from fine lines and acne scars to dull skin or uneven tone.
Myth 2: They make your skin peel off painfully.
While some skin flaking may occur, modern treatments like WiQo Peel are designed to minimize peeling while still delivering incredible results.
Myth 3: They’re unsafe for all skin types.
When performed by trained professionals, chemical peels are safe and effective for most skin types. At Youthful Infusion Med Spa, our experts evaluate your skin before recommending a treatment.

Benefits of Chemical Peels
Chemical peels offer a variety of skin care benefits, making them a popular choice for those looking to rejuvenate their skin. Some of these benefits include:
- Exfoliates dead skin cells, revealing smoother and fresher skin.
- Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Improves skin tone and texture for a more radiant complexion.
- Diminishes acne scars and other forms of scarring.
- Lightens hyperpigmentation and sun damage, promoting an even skin tone.
- Enhances cell turnover, supporting youthful and healthy-looking skin.
- Can be tailored to address specific skin concerns for personalized care.
What Happens During the Treatment?
We’ll help you feel calm and comfortable during your chemical peel. The treatment includes:
- Pre-Treatment Preparation: Your skin is cleansed before the treatment begins.
- Application: A chemical solution containing acids like glycolic, salicylic, or trichloroacetic acid is carefully applied to the skin. This dissolves the bond between old skin cells to promote exfoliation and collagen production. Mild stinging may be felt as the solution works its magic.
- Neutralization: After a few minutes, the solution is neutralized or removed to reveal fresh, new skin underneath.
Post-Treatment Expectations
After your chemical peel, your skin may look red or feel dry for a few days. Depending on the peel’s strength:
- Light peels take about 1-7 days to fully heal.
- You can typically resume wearing makeup the next day.
- Our team may recommend soothing products like a protective cream to enhance your recovery.
