Skin renewal, tailored to you

A more refreshed-looking complexion.

Chemical peels use a carefully selected solution to exfoliate skin. As the treated skin heals, a peel may improve its appearance and texture. At Paragon, start with a consultation to discuss your concerns, available options, and realistic expectations.

More even tone

May improve uneven pigmentation and sun-related discoloration.

Smoother texture

May refresh dull or rough-looking skin and improve surface texture.

Softer fine lines

May reduce the appearance of fine lines and surface wrinkles.

Selected acne concerns

Some peels may help certain acne-related concerns and mild scarring.

Benefits depend on the peel selected and your skin. Chemical peels do not significantly lift sagging skin or remove deep scars.

What to expect

Your treatment starts with a conversation.

Your skin tone, sensitivity, treatment history, and recovery preferences help guide the plan.

Consultation

Discuss what you hope to improve. Your provider reviews your skin and health history, explains suitable options, and talks through benefits, costs, and potential risks.

Your treatment

A selected solution is applied to prepared skin. The formulation and technique influence how deeply the peel acts. Ask what sensations and comfort measures to expect.

Healing & follow-up

Follow your individual aftercare plan as your skin heals. Your provider will explain expected recovery, follow-up care, and when to resume your usual skin-care routine.

Before your visit

Find the right approach for your skin.

A peel should be selected for your individual needs. At your consultation, share:

  • Your skin concerns, sensitivity, and previous cosmetic treatments.
  • Medicines, supplements, skin-care products, and any past isotretinoin use.
  • A history of cold sores, unusual scarring, or pigment changes after irritation.
  • Your goals and how much healing time you can accommodate.

After your treatment

Give your skin time to recover.

Redness, sensitivity, swelling, or flaking may occur. Recovery varies with the peel and your response; deeper treatments generally require more healing time.

  • Follow the cleansing, moisturizing, and sun-avoidance instructions provided.
  • Do not scratch treated skin or pick at peeling areas.
  • Ask when to restart makeup and your usual skin-care products.
  • Once healed, use daily sun protection to help maintain results.

Chemical peels carry risks, including infection, scarring, persistent redness, and temporary or lasting changes in skin color. Discuss your medical history and personal risk factors before treatment.

Good questions. Clear expectations.

Chemical peel FAQs

Your consultation is the best time to discuss the treatment options available at Paragon and what they may mean for your skin.

How much downtime should I plan for?

There is no single recovery timeline for every peel. Lighter treatments generally involve less healing time than deeper treatments. Your provider will explain the expected redness, peeling, activity limits, and follow-up for your recommended option.

Will I need more than one treatment?

Some lighter peels may be repeated to achieve or maintain improvement. The number and spacing of treatments depend on the peel selected, your goals, and how your skin responds.

Can every skin tone have a chemical peel?

Suitability should be assessed individually. Skin tone and a tendency toward pigment changes deserve particular attention when choosing a peel. Discuss these factors and your healing history with your provider.

When will I see results, and how long do they last?

Changes become apparent as the treated skin heals. Your skin will continue to age, and sun exposure can affect results. Your provider can discuss realistic expectations and ongoing skin care for your treatment plan.
