Chemical peel treatment at The Body Lab

What it is


Controlled exfoliation, depth chosen on purpose.

A chemical peel applies a solution to the skin to remove the outermost layers in a controlled way. As those layers shed, smoother, more even skin replaces them — and the process also signals your skin to make new collagen.

Depths range from light (work-day-friendly, mild flaking) to medium (a week or two of visible peeling, deeper results). The right depth depends on your skin type, your goals, and how much downtime you can plan around.

We don't recommend the deepest peel by default. Most patients do better with a light-to-medium peel in a short series than one aggressive session.

What to expect

Results

1–2 weeks

Visible 1–2 weeks post-peel. Best results come from a planned series — usually three to six sessions, spaced.
