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.
Chemical Peels - Treatable Areas
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

After Your Chemical Peel
Your skin may turn red, brown or bleached in certain areas which is a normal reaction after receiving a chemical peel. The effects will be greater with the use of Jessner and TCA because they are of medical-grade meaning they will penetrate much deeper than glycolic or salicylic acid. You may also feel a warm sensation on your face and feel that the skin is dry. It will be necessary to wait 24 hours before being able to wash the face.
The Day After Your Chemical Peel
The next day, you can wash your face with the products provided by the clinic. The skin will be dry and you will need to apply moisturizing creams and sunscreen for 5 to 7 days following treatment.
Day 2
The skin will begin to stretch and you will begin to feel that the skin wants to start peeling. Under no circumstances should you scrape or remove the skin, this could cause lesions that may leave scars.
Day 3 to 5
The skin will begin to peel, for some people who have very resistant skin, the exfoliation may be minimal with glycolic and salicylic acids. You will need to continue to apply the moisturizer until the skin is fully healed. Afterwards, it will be important to use sunscreen daily. You can start using your usual products again later.
