What Is a Chemical Peel?
A Brief History of Chemical Peels
Chemical peels have been used since ancient times—most notably in Egypt—to rejuvenate the skin by exfoliating the outer layers. The principle is simple: by removing dead skin cells from the surface, the skin can regenerate itself with newer, healthier layers that reveal a fresher, more radiant complexion.
What Is Skin Peeling?
The outermost layer of our skin is made up of dead cells. While these cells serve a protective function, they can also cause the skin to appear dull, uneven, or pigmented over time. Chemical peels help shed this layer, improving both texture and tone.
To visualize the process, think of the skin in three layers:
-
Cornflakes on the surface: representing dead, flaky skin cells
-
Raisins just beneath: older, compacted cells
-
Fresh grapes in the deeper layers: young, healthy cells that give the skin its firmness and glow
A chemical peel works by removing the “cornflakes,” allowing the “grapes” underneath to come to the surface. This results in smoother, more luminous skin.
Types of Peels and Their Depth
- Superficial peels target minor imperfections and uneven texture.
- Medium-depth peels go further, helping with pigment irregularities, fine lines, and some acne scars.
- Deep peels can reach the dermis and stimulate collagen production, but typically involve a longer recovery time.
Are Chemical Peels for Everyone?
In Canada, the use of certain medical-grade peel concentrations is regulated to ensure safety. These treatments are ideal for improving surface-level concerns like dull skin, mild pigmentation, and rough texture. However, for more significant concerns such as deep wrinkles, pronounced skin laxity, large pores, or severe scarring, other advanced technologies—such as laser resurfacing, radiofrequency, or injectables—may offer more effective results.

Types of Chemical Peels and Their Different Uses
The peel is mainly used on the face, neck and collar area. What makes a peel aesthetic or medical grade is the depth of penetration into the skin. When it’s aesthetic, the peel reaches only the first layer of skin that is the epidermis. In the case of deeper peels, it reaches the surface of the dermis. Here are some examples of the usefulness of the chemical peel:
• Decreases fine lines and wrinkles
• Reduces dilated pores
• Helps to create more collagen and elastin
• Helps tighten and firm the skin
• Reduces (and in some cases eliminate) hyperpigmentation or melasma
• Reduces acne
• Improves acne scars

Chemical Peel Treatment Steps
Personalized Evaluation
At Infinium, we take the time to truly understand you. Every person is unique and deserves a personalized assessment. Everyone has different expectations and skin goals, so it is essential we recommend the most suitable treatment and provide a transparent cost estimate.
Taking of Photographs
We take photos before and after your treatment to properly visualize the areas to be treated and monitor your progress. Photographs are the most effective way for you to appreciate the changes in your skin. At Infinium, your satisfaction is our top priority. We also offer 3D imaging for more detailed skin analysis.
The Treatment
– Skin cleansing
– Application of the chemical peel in one or more layers
– Penetration time based on skin type and concerns
– Neutralization if required
– Application of anti-inflammatory cream, moisturizer, and sunscreen
After Your Chemical Peel
Your skin may appear red, brown, or slightly bleached in some areas — all of which are common reactions after a chemical peel. Peels containing Jessner or TCA solutions penetrate deeper into the skin than glycolic or salicylic acid, which can intensify these effects. You may also feel warmth or tightness, and your skin may feel dry for the first 24 hours. It is important to wait at least 24 hours before washing your face.
The Day After Your Chemical Peel
You can wash your face with the gentle products provided by the clinic. Over the next days, apply a nourishing moisturizer and sunscreen regularly to protect your healing skin.
Day 2
Your skin will begin to feel tighter, and you may notice it starting to stretch as the peeling process begins. It is very important not to pick at or peel the skin manually, as this can cause lesions and potential scarring.
Day 3 to 7
Your skin will continue to peel. In cases of very resistant skin or lighter peels (glycolic or salicylic acids), exfoliation may be minimal. However, deeper or medical-grade peels, such as TCA or Jessner, can cause peeling that lasts up to 7–10 days. Throughout this process, it is vital to keep your skin hydrated and protected. Once healing is complete, you can resume your regular skincare routine — making sure to wear sunscreen every day to maintain and protect your results.
