Medical-grade chemical peels in Burlington, ON — targeting acne scars, dark spots, fine lines, and uneven texture. Results you can see and feel.
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.
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.
Accelerates the fading of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and shallow acne scars by dissolving damaged surface cells and stimulating fresh collagen growth.
Exfoliates melanin-rich surface cells to lighten sun spots, hormonal melasma, and uneven skin tone — revealing a more uniform, luminous complexion.
Stimulates collagen and elastin production to smooth superficial lines around the eyes, mouth, and forehead — improving skin firmness over a series of treatments.
Removes rough, congested surface cells to leave skin noticeably smoother to the touch — improving both appearance and feel within days of your first peel.
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.
Salicylic acid peels penetrate into pores to dissolve sebum, reduce blackheads, and regulate oil production — ideal for clients with acne-prone skin.
Every client is different. Our Burlington estheticians recommend the right peel type based on your skin concerns, skin tone, and downtime availability.
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 DowntimeReaches 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 & PigmentationBlended formulas targeting multiple concerns simultaneously — for example, glycolic + salicylic for oily, acne-prone skin, or lactic + kojic acid for brightening and pigmentation.

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.
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.
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.
Follow these steps in the days before your Burlington chemical peel for the safest, most effective result.
Pause retinol, AHAs, BHAs, and prescription retinoids 5–7 days before your peel to avoid over-sensitising the skin.
Stay out of direct sun for at least 2 weeks prior and wear SPF 30+ daily. Tanned or sunburned skin cannot be treated safely.
Avoid waxing, threading, or any facial hair removal for at least 7 days before your appointment.
Come to your appointment with a clean face — no makeup, sunscreen, or heavy creams. We will do a professional cleanse on arrival.
Drink plenty of water in the days before your peel. Well-hydrated skin responds more evenly to chemical exfoliation.
Inform your esthetician of any current medications, especially antibiotics, hormonal treatments, or Accutane (isotretinoin), which may affect peel suitability.
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.
