Chemical Peel

Our professional Chemical Peels use carefully formulated acid solutions to remove damaged outer layers of skin, revealing the fresher, smoother, more evenly-toned skin beneath. We offer a range of peel strengths — from light glycolic peels perfect for brightening to deeper TCA peels that address significant sun damage and scarring.

During your consultation, your aesthetician will assess your skin type, concerns, and goals to recommend the ideal peel for you. Light peels are perfect for maintenance with minimal downtime, while medium peels deliver more dramatic results with 3-5 days of peeling. All peels stimulate collagen production for ongoing improvement even after the peeling process is complete.

Chemical peels are ideal for clients dealing with sun damage (extremely common among Clermont, FL residents), melasma, acne scarring, fine lines, rough texture, and overall dullness. They are one of the most time-tested treatments in dermatology — used for over a century — and remain among the most effective tools for skin transformation when properly selected and applied by a trained professional.

The mechanism involves controlled chemical injury to specific skin depths. Alpha-hydroxy acids (glycolic, lactic) work at the epidermis for gentle brightening. Beta-hydroxy acids (salicylic) penetrate oil to clear pores. TCA reaches the upper dermis for more significant collagen remodeling. At Anahiz Aesthetics, we never apply a one-size-fits-all approach — your peel is selected based on your Fitzpatrick skin type, current sensitivity level, skincare history, and specific goals. First-time clients typically start with lighter formulations, building tolerance before progressing to more intensive peels.

For comprehensive results, we recommend a series of 3-6 peels depending on depth and concern. Light peels can be performed every 2-4 weeks, while medium peels require 4-6 weeks between sessions. Many of our clients pair their peel series with monthly Hydrafacials during rest periods to maintain hydration and glow between exfoliation appointments.
