Chemical Peels
Reveal Radiant, Fresh Skin with Medical-Grade Exfoliation
Chemical peels are powerful skin-renewing treatments designed to exfoliate dead skin cells, stimulate collagen production, and improve tone, texture, and clarity. Whether you’re looking to brighten dull skin, fade hyperpigmentation, reduce acne scars, or soften fine lines, a customized medical-grade peel can transform your complexion with minimal downtime. At LIV Dermatology, we offer a range of light, medium, and deep chemical peels, tailored to your unique skin type and concerns.
Revitalize, Resurface & Restore with Chemical Peels
Over time, sun exposure, environmental damage, and aging cause a buildup of dead skin, leading to dullness, uneven tone, and breakouts. Chemical peels use potent exfoliating acids to break down damaged layers of skin, accelerating cell turnover for a brighter, smoother, and more youthful complexion. From superficial brightening peels to deeper corrective peels, our expert dermatologists customize each treatment for maximum skin transformation.

Why Chemical Peels Are a Game-Changer
Customizable for Every Skin Concern
Whether you need gentle exfoliation or deep resurfacing, chemical peels are available in varying strengths to target fine lines, acne, pigmentation, and uneven texture.
Fast, Noticeable Skin Improvement
Even a single treatment can leave your skin looking brighter and more even, with minimal downtime compared to laser resurfacing.
Boosts Skincare Penetration & Long-Term Skin Health
Peeling away dead skin enhances the absorption of serums, moisturizers, and anti-aging treatments, improving long-term skin health.
Why it works
Advanced Exfoliation for Skin Renewal
Chemical peels use a combination of alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), trichloroacetic acid (TCA), and other medical-grade ingredients to dissolve damaged skin cells, triggering the body’s natural healing response and collagen regeneration.
How it works
Step-by-Step Process
- Personalized Skin Assessment
Our experts evaluate your skin type and concerns to select the ideal peel strength and formulation. - Application of Chemical Solution
A controlled blend of exfoliating acids is applied to the skin, breaking down dead cells and stimulating cell renewal. - Peeling & Renewal Process
Light peels may cause mild flaking, while deeper peels result in visible peeling over 5–10 days as fresh skin emerges. - Post-Peel Glow & Skin Transformation
As the skin heals and regenerates, it appears brighter, smoother, and more even-toned, with continued improvement over time.
