If your skin looks dull, uneven, or affected by acne scars, sun damage, or fine lines, professional chemical peels can help restore a clearer, more youthful complexion — customized to your skin type and goals.
Pharmaceutical-grade acids, not over-the-counter strength.
Light, medium, and VI Peel® options matched to your goals.
The VI Peel is formulated to be safe across all complexions.
Every peel is chosen in person — never a one-size-fits-all pick.
Chemical peels are advanced skincare treatments that use medical-grade exfoliating solutions to remove the outermost layer of damaged skin. This process triggers the skin's natural regeneration, encouraging the growth of fresh, healthy skin cells.
Chemical peels can address a variety of skin concerns, including uneven skin tone, sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, acne and acne scars, hyperpigmentation, rough skin texture, and enlarged pores.
After treatment, many patients notice brighter, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.
Chemical peels are one of the most popular skin rejuvenation treatments because they deliver noticeable results with minimal downtime.
Removes damaged surface cells for a noticeably smoother feel.
Reveals fresh, healthy skin cells underneath.
Stimulates collagen production for a softer, more youthful look.
Helps unclog pores and reduce acne-causing bacteria.
Encourages new cell turnover to fade hyperpigmentation.
A series of treatments can maintain long-term skin health.
Not all chemical peels are the same. Over-the-counter peel pads and at-home kits use much lower concentrations of active ingredients, which limits both their strength and their results.
Medical-grade peels, performed by a trained provider, use higher-concentration, pharmaceutical-grade acids that are carefully selected and layered based on your specific skin type and concern. This is also why a proper consultation matters — a trained provider can safely use a stronger formula because they know how to assess your skin, adjust the peel's depth in real time, and manage your aftercare, all of which reduces the risk of complications you'd have no way to manage on your own with an at-home product.
At Simply Bliss Medical Spa, we customize chemical peel treatments based on your skin type and concerns. We offer three tiers of chemical peels:
Gently exfoliate the outermost layer of skin. Best for dull skin, mild discoloration, and rough texture.
Penetrate deeper layers of the skin to address more noticeable concerns. Best for acne scars, deeper pigmentation, and fine lines.
Our most advanced medical-grade peel, combining TCA, retinoic acid, salicylic acid, and vitamin C in a single treatment. Best for stubborn pigmentation, melasma, acne and acne scarring, and more noticeable texture concerns — formulated to be safe across all skin tones, including darker skin types.

Chemical peels may be a good fit if you're dealing with:
Or ongoing breakouts.
From past breakouts.
Or sun spots.
Stubborn, patchy pigmentation.
And rough or uneven texture.
Or dull, tired-looking skin.
Not every peel is right for every skin type or concern, and depth of peel matters — this is exactly what your consultation is for. Certain conditions (active skin infections, recent sun exposure, some medications like isotretinoin) may mean postponing treatment, which your provider will review with you.
Chemical peels help unclog pores and reduce acne-causing bacteria, making them an excellent treatment for active acne.
Peels can fade dark spots, sun damage, and melasma by encouraging new skin cell turnover.
By stimulating collagen production, chemical peels help soften fine lines and improve overall skin texture.
Chemical peels help create a more balanced complexion by removing damaged skin cells.
Many patients notice improvement after just one chemical peel — this is especially true for light peels aimed at a quick refresh before an event, or a single VI Peel for a noticeable pigmentation improvement.
For concerns like acne scarring, melasma, or significant texture issues, a series of 3–6 treatments, spaced 4–6 weeks apart, is often recommended to build results gradually and safely. Your provider will recommend a specific plan based on your skin condition and goals — there's no one-size-fits-all number, and we'll be upfront with you about what's realistic for a single session versus what needs a series.
To get the best results and minimize irritation, in the days before your peel:
A chemical peel treatment is typically quick and comfortable. Your treatment may include cleansing and preparing the skin, applying the customized peel solution, allowing the peel to exfoliate the skin, and applying soothing products to calm the skin.
Most treatments take 30–45 minutes, depending on the type of peel used. Some patients may experience mild redness or peeling after treatment, which is a normal part of the skin renewal process.
Timeline varies by peel depth, but most patients follow a similar pattern.
Skin may appear pink or slightly flushed. Light peels show little change; deeper peels show more redness.
For medium and VI Peels, visible peeling and flaking typically begins around this point.
Peeling continues and resolves. Avoid picking manually — let it shed naturally to prevent irritation.
Full results become visible as fresh skin is revealed, with collagen continuing to build afterward.
Light peels generally follow a faster, gentler version of this timeline with little to no visible flaking at all.
We'll give you specific written aftercare instructions at your appointment based on the peel type used.
Chemical peels are often part of a broader skin health plan rather than a stand-alone treatment.
Often alternated — not combined same-day — targeting texture and tone from two different angles.
Botox addresses dynamic wrinkles while peels improve surface tone and texture.
Filler restores volume while peels improve the skin's surface quality.
Pico Genesis is often paired for clients targeting stubborn pigmentation from multiple angles.
Your provider can build a combination plan across multiple visits based on your specific goals.
Yes. When performed by trained professionals using medical-grade products, chemical peels are considered safe and effective.
Most patients experience mild tingling or warmth during treatment. Discomfort is usually minimal and temporary.
Recovery depends on the type of peel used. Light peels may have little to no downtime, while deeper peels like the VI Peel may involve several days of visible peeling.
Yes. Chemical peels can improve the appearance of acne scars by encouraging new skin cell growth and collagen production.
Many patients benefit from treatments every 4–6 weeks, depending on their skin goals.
Yes — certain peels, like the VI Peel, are specifically formulated with lightening agents that help address melasma and other stubborn pigmentation, though results and safety depend on your individual case, which your provider will assess.
Some peels carry more risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation changes in darker skin tones than others. The VI Peel is specifically formulated to be safe across all skin tones, which is why it's often recommended for clients with deeper complexions. Your provider will help select the safest option for your skin.
We recommend skipping makeup for at least 24 hours after treatment, and using clean tools or hands if you apply it sooner than that, to reduce irritation risk while your skin is healing.
It depends on the depth of the peel. Light peels may show little to no visible flaking, while medium peels and the VI Peel typically produce visible peeling starting a few days after treatment.
Some concerns (a quick pre-event refresh) respond well to a single peel, while others (acne scarring, melasma, significant texture issues) are better addressed with a series of 3–6 treatments spaced several weeks apart.
Yes — peels are often paired with microneedling, Botox, dermal fillers, or laser treatments as part of a broader skin health plan, typically scheduled across separate visits rather than the same day.
Avoid retinol, harsh exfoliants, waxing, tanning, and excessive sun exposure in the days leading up to your peel, and let your provider know about any medications like isotretinoin.
Chemical peels aren't recommended for those with active skin infections in the treatment area, recent significant sun exposure or sunburn, or recent isotretinoin use. Your provider will review your full history at your consultation to confirm candidacy.
At Simply Bliss Medical Spa, we focus on providing personalized aesthetic treatments that deliver natural and beautiful results.
Chemical peels can be combined with microneedling, Botox, or lip fillers to improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and enhance overall facial rejuvenation. Looking for a more advanced option? Explore the VI Peel.
