About
Uneven texture, acne, and dullness are among the most common reasons people try a chemical peel. At Riva Skin, Hair & Aesthetics, Chemical Peel treatments are customized to your skin type and concern rather than offered as a one-size-fits-all service.
What Does a Chemical Peel Treat?
Chemical peels use a customized solution to exfoliate the skin's outer layers, helping to address concerns like acne, fine lines, and uneven pigmentation. The strength and formulation are tailored based on your skin type and goals.
Will a Chemical Peel Suit My Skin Type?
Peels are customized in strength and formulation based on your skin type and concern, which is why a consultation is recommended before your first session, especially for deeper skin tones where peel selection needs extra care.
What to Expect: Procedure, Downtime & Aftercare
Depending on the peel strength, you may experience mild redness, tightness, or flaking for a few days afterward.
Your dermatologist will give you specific aftercare and sun-protection instructions tailored to your peel type.
Most people benefit from a series of peels spaced a few weeks apart, particularly for concerns like acne marks or pigmentation, rather than a single session.
Sun exposure, harsh scrubs, and active ingredients like retinoids should generally be avoided for a period after treatment.
