What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a professional skincare treatment that uses a precisely formulated solution to gently exfoliate the outer layers of the skin, stimulate cellular renewal, and encourage collagen remodeling for smoother, more luminous skin. These treatments improve tone, texture, and clarity without surgery, making them a powerful option for rejuvenating your complexion with little to no downtime.

What Do Chemical Peels Treat?

Sun damage, age spots, and melasma
Uneven tone and texture
Fine lines and superficial wrinkles
Enlarged pores and congestion
Acne and post-inflammatory discoloration
Roughness on the face, neck, chest, or body

Our Chemical Peel Options

PCA Skin Customized Peels

Our PCA Skin Customized Peels combine gentle blends of TCA and Jessner formulations with optional retinol boosters to refresh and renew the skin. These professional peels help smooth texture, brighten tone, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and discoloration, all with minimal downtime and beautiful, healthy-looking results.

Skin Perfecting Peel

Our Skin Perfecting Peel is a gentle yet effective treatment that refines skin texture, evens tone, and enhances overall radiance. Formulated with a balanced blend of exfoliating acids and nourishing ingredients, it helps smooth fine lines, reduce congestion, and promote healthy cell renewal with minimal irritation. The result is clearer, softer, more luminous skin that looks refreshed and revitalized after just one treatment.

TCA Peel (Trichloroacetic Acid)

The gold standard for more advanced concerns. Our TCA peels (light to medium-depth) address significant pigment irregularities, deep sun damage, etched lines, and select acne scars. Expect ~7 days of peeling with steadily improving tone, texture, and a smoother, more refined surface as new skin reveals.

Body Peel

Photodamage and rough texture don’t stop at the jawline. Our Body Peel resurfaces the arms, back, chest, legs, or hands, lifting dull, leathery buildup and restoring a touchably soft, even look. Mild redness or flaking is normal for a few days as the outer layers shed and glow returns.

I have received several facial treatments (facials and chemical peels) at Clark Institute for the last several months and could not be any happier! I have seen major results with my skin from the peels, and I can’t wait to eventually get microneedling. Ashley at the par location is fantastic, and I couldn’t recommend Clark Institute more. They are extremely clean, professional, use top skin products, and hire top-notch providers!

What to Expect

1. Consultation

We review your medical history, prior treatments (including acne therapies, retinoids, and sun exposure), and examine pigment patterns, pore size, texture, and sensitivity. Together, we choose a peel that aligns with your lifestyle and recovery needs.

2. Treatment

The skin is cleansed and prepped; the peel is then applied in measured passes. You may feel warmth or tingling. Sessions typically take 20–40 minutes.

3. Recovery

Downtime depends on peel depth:

Glycolic / Melanage: mild dryness or flaking for 2–5 days.
MD / TCA (medium-depth): visible peeling for ~5–7 days, pinkness may persist briefly.
Body Peel: light to moderate flaking for several days.

4. Aftercare

SPF 30+ daily (reapply), gentle cleanser, and barrier-support moisturizer. Avoid picking, heat, heavy workouts, exfoliants, and retinoids until cleared. We’ll provide a step-by-step home regimen to maximize results safely.

5. Results

Most patients notice brighter tone and improved texture as early as the first week, with continued refinement over 2–6 weeks as cellular turnover and collagen signaling progress. A series (typically 3–4 peels) builds cumulative improvement, especially for melasma, acne, and lingering sun damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are chemical peels safe for darker skin tones?

Yes—when selected and performed correctly. We tailor formula strength and contact time to reduce the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation and often begin with Melanage or gentle AHA peels before progressing.

How do I choose between Glycolic, Melanage, MD, and TCA?

It depends on severity, sensitivity, and downtime. Glycolic = gentle refresh; Melanage = pigment/melasma focus; MD = medium-depth texture/pore/scar work; TCA = more advanced photoaging and etched lines. We’ll guide you.

Will I peel a lot?

Peeling ranges from micro-flaking (Glycolic/Melanage) to sheeting (MD/TCA). Visible exfoliation doesn’t always equal better results—even invisible remodeling can be significant.

How soon can I wear makeup?

Often 24–48 hours after lighter peels; once skin is intact and non-tender. For medium-depth peels, wait until peeling subsides and we’ve cleared you.

How many treatments will I need?

Many see a difference after one peel, but a series of 3–4 (spaced 4–6 weeks apart) optimizes clarity, texture, and pigment correction.
