Reveal Fresher, Healthier Skin
Chemical Peels —
Chemical peels are a professional, minimally invasive cosmetic treatment designed to refresh and rejuvenate your skin. By applying a safe, controlled chemical solution, this treatment helps exfoliate the outer layers of skin, revealing a smoother, more radiant complexion. Chemical peels are effective for improving skin texture, tone, and overall appearance while addressing common concerns such as fine lines, acne, pigmentation, and sun damage.
At Canadian Love Doctor, our customized chemical peel treatments are tailored to your skin type and aesthetic goals, delivering visible results without surgery or prolonged downtime.
What is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure in which a chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove damaged outer layers, stimulate cellular turnover, and promote collagen production. Peels can vary in strength:
Superficial peels: Mild exfoliation for gentle skin renewal.
Medium peels: Target deeper layers to improve pigmentation, fine lines, and texture.
- Deep peels: More intensive treatment for significant rejuvenation (performed under medical supervision).
Chemical peels are commonly used on the face, neck, décolletage, and hands to restore youthful, glowing skin.
How Do Chemical Peels Work?
The chemical solution works by loosening the bonds between dead skin cells, allowing them to shed more easily. This stimulates the skin’s natural regenerative processes:
Damaged outer skin layers are exfoliated.
Collagen and elastin production is stimulated in the underlying layers.
New, healthy skin emerges with improved texture, tone, and elasticity.
With repeated treatments, chemical peels can address multiple skin concerns and enhance overall skin health.
What to Expect During Your Chemical Peel Appointment
Your treatment at Canadian Love Doctor is safe and performed in a clinical setting:
Your skin will be cleansed and prepped for the procedure.
The chemical solution is applied evenly to the treatment area.
Depending on the peel type, you may experience mild tingling or warmth.
After the solution is neutralized, soothing products may be applied to promote healing.
The appointment typically lasts 30-60 minutes, depending on the area and type of peel.
Before Your Chemical Peel
To ensure the best results:
- Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 1-2 weeks before your appointment.
- Stop using strong retinoids, exfoliants, or other irritating skincare products as advised by your clinician.
- Inform your provider about medications, skin conditions, or recent cosmetic procedures.
After Your Chemical Peel
Post-treatment care is critical for optimal results:
- Mild redness, peeling, or flaking is normal and expected.
- Avoid sun exposure and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.
- Use gentle cleansers and moisturizers as recommended by your clinician.
-
Avoid picking or peeling the skin to prevent scarring or discoloration.
Most patients can resume normal activities quickly, with visible improvements appearing within days to weeks depending on the peel strength.
