What Is a Chemical Peel — and What Does It Feel Like?

A chemical peel is a controlled skin-resurfacing treatment that uses medical-grade acids to remove damaged outer layers of skin, accelerate cell turnover, and stimulate collagen production — revealing healthier, more radiant skin underneath.

Most clients describe the sensation as a mild tingling or warmth — similar to a light sunburn — that lasts only a few minutes during application. After the peel is neutralised, any sensation disappears quickly. It is well-tolerated by most skin types.

  • Treatment time: 30–60 minutes depending on peel depth
  • Visible peeling: Begins 2–3 days post-treatment, lasts 3–7 days
  • Downtime: Minimal to moderate depending on peel strength
  • Results: Smoother texture, brighter tone, reduced pigmentation
  • Skin types: All skin tones — peels customised per client

Skin Concerns We Address

What Can a Chemical Peel Treat?

From acne scars to sun damage, chemical peels are one of the most versatile skin treatments available — delivered safely and effectively at our Burlington clinic.

Acne Scars & PIH

Accelerates the fading of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and shallow acne scars by dissolving damaged surface cells and stimulating fresh collagen growth.

Hyperpigmentation & Dark Spots

Exfoliates melanin-rich surface cells to lighten sun spots, hormonal melasma, and uneven skin tone — revealing a more uniform, luminous complexion.

Fine Lines & Early Wrinkles

Stimulates collagen and elastin production to smooth superficial lines around the eyes, mouth, and forehead — improving skin firmness over a series of treatments.

Uneven Skin Texture

Removes rough, congested surface cells to leave skin noticeably smoother to the touch — improving both appearance and feel within days of your first peel.

Dull, Lackluster Skin

Strips away the build-up of dead cells that cause skin to look flat and tired. After a chemical peel in Burlington, clients consistently report a visible glow and brightness.

Oily Skin & Congested Pores

Salicylic acid peels penetrate into pores to dissolve sebum, reduce blackheads, and regulate oil production — ideal for clients with acne-prone skin.

Treatment Options

Types of Chemical Peels We Offer

Every client is different. Our Burlington estheticians recommend the right peel type based on your skin concerns, skin tone, and downtime availability.

Superficial (Light) Peel

Uses mild acids (glycolic, lactic, mandelic) to gently exfoliate the outermost skin layer. Minimal downtime — typically mild flaking for 2–3 days. Ideal for maintenance, glow, and sensitive skin.

Minimal Downtime
Most Popular

Medium-Depth Peel

Reaches the upper dermis using TCA or higher-strength acids. Targets acne scars, moderate hyperpigmentation, and texture concerns. Expect 5–7 days of peeling for visible skin renewal.

Best for Scars & Pigmentation

Combination Peels

Blended formulas targeting multiple concerns simultaneously — for example, glycolic + salicylic for oily, acne-prone skin, or lactic + kojic acid for brightening and pigmentation.

Common Questions About the Peel Experience

Why does a chemical peel burn or tingle?

Peeling acids temporarily lower the skin’s pH, which triggers the tingling sensation. This is normal and means the peel is actively working to break down old surface cells. Our estheticians carefully time each peel to ensure comfort and safety throughout.

How long does a chemical peel peel for?

Peeling typically starts on day 2–3 after treatment. Superficial peels cause light flaking for 3–4 days. Medium peels may result in more noticeable shedding for up to 7 days. Do not pick or peel skin manually — let it shed naturally for best results.

When will I see results?

Many clients notice brighter, smoother skin within 5–7 days once peeling is complete. Full results from a series of peels — especially for scars and pigmentation — are typically seen after 3–6 sessions spaced 3–4 weeks apart.

Before Your Session

How to Prepare for Your Chemical Peel

Follow these steps in the days before your Burlington chemical peel for the safest, most effective result.

1

Stop Retinoids & Exfoliants

Pause retinol, AHAs, BHAs, and prescription retinoids 5–7 days before your peel to avoid over-sensitising the skin.

2

Avoid Sun Exposure

Stay out of direct sun for at least 2 weeks prior and wear SPF 30+ daily. Tanned or sunburned skin cannot be treated safely.

3

No Waxing or Threading

Avoid waxing, threading, or any facial hair removal for at least 7 days before your appointment.

4

Arrive with Clean Skin

Come to your appointment with a clean face — no makeup, sunscreen, or heavy creams. We will do a professional cleanse on arrival.

5

Hydrate Well

Drink plenty of water in the days before your peel. Well-hydrated skin responds more evenly to chemical exfoliation.

6

Disclose Medications

Inform your esthetician of any current medications, especially antibiotics, hormonal treatments, or Accutane (isotretinoin), which may affect peel suitability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Chemical Peel Burlington — FAQs

Most clients describe a chemical peel as a mild tingling or warmth — similar to a light sunburn — that lasts only a few minutes while the solution is on the skin. Once neutralised, the sensation disappears. The majority of our Burlington clients find it very manageable and comfortable.

Peeling usually begins on day 2–3 after your chemical peel treatment. Superficial peels cause light flaking that lasts 3–4 days. Medium-depth peels may result in more visible peeling for 5–7 days. It varies by peel strength and your individual skin. Always let the skin shed naturally — never pick or force it.

Chemical peels use acids that temporarily lower your skin’s pH. This change in pH creates the tingling or mild burning sensation and is what triggers cell turnover and collagen stimulation — in other words, it is the mechanism that produces results. Our Burlington estheticians monitor your skin throughout and can adjust timing and neutralisation for your comfort level.
