What’s the difference between a light, medium, and deep peel?

Chemical peels vary in depth depending on your skin goals. A light peel gently exfoliates the surface layer of skin. A medium peel targets deeper layers to address texture and pigment. A deep peel resurfaces skin more dramatically and requires longer downtime. We’ll walk you through the best level for your needs during your consultation. You can also explore CoolPeel or RF Microneedling as other options if you’re not ready for a deeper peel. We offer all levels of chemical peels in Kansas City, along with personalized guidance.

How should I prepare before my appointment for a chemical peel?

To get the best results from your chemical peel and avoid irritation, follow these pre-care guidelines : Avoid sun exposure for at least 2 weeks before treatment. Stop using retinoids and exfoliating acids 3 to 5 days beforehand. No waxing, scrubs, or microdermabrasion for at least 5 days prior. Do not shave on the day of your appointment. If prescribed, pre-treat with hydroquinone 2 weeks ahead to reduce pigment risks (This may be required for certain skin types). Avoid treatment for 6 months after using Accutane. Tell your provider about any allergies, especially to fruits, vegetables, medications, or aspirin. If you’re prone to cold sores, ask about antiviral medication. These steps help ensure your skin is calm, clear, and ready for your chemical peels in Kansas City.

Can I wear makeup after my peel?

It’s best to wait at least 24 to 48 hours to allow your skin to heal before wearing makeup. Your provider will give you post-care tips to protect your results after getting chemical peels in Kansas City.

Learn About Our Process

Consultation

Think of this as a strategy session for your skin. We’ll ask smart questions, listen closely, and give you honest feedback, so we can shape your treatment around what matters most: how you want to feel in your skin.

Treatment

We apply your peel in layers, based on how your skin reacts in real time. No cookie-cutter protocols, just real, responsive care using medical-grade formulas that renew, brighten, and smooth your skin’s surface.

Results

Expect some visible shedding in the days ahead. Underneath, healthier skin is taking shape—brighter, softer, more even. Over time, you’ll notice fewer blemishes, less roughness, and a glow that sticks around.
