Chemical Peels 101: A Tried-and-True Treatment for Smoother, Brighter Skin

6.17.2025

At Jolie Medical Aesthetics in San Antonio, chemical peels exfoliate dull skin, reduce texture and reveal a clearer brighter and more even-toned complexion.

Reset Your Skin’s Surface

Even with great skincare, your skin can still accumulate buildup from environmental damage, sun exposure, and daily stress. Over time, this can lead to dull tone, uneven texture, and visible signs of aging. When serums and scrubs fall short, a chemical peel offers a professional way to refresh your skin and restore its radiance.

At Jolie Medical Aesthetics in San Antonio, Texas, chemical peels are used to gently remove dead skin cells, improve skin clarity, and stimulate new cell turnover—all in a safe, controlled setting.

What Happens During a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel uses a solution of exfoliating acids to lift away the outermost layer of skin, revealing the healthier, more even-toned layer underneath. The strength of the peel is tailored to your skin’s needs, whether you're looking for a light glow or more dramatic resurfacing.

Lighter peels brighten and smooth with little to no recovery time, while medium-depth options address deeper discoloration and texture with a few days of visible peeling. Each treatment is quick, typically lasting 30 to 45 minutes, and is followed by detailed aftercare to support optimal healing.

What Skin Concerns Can a Peel Help?

Chemical peels are incredibly versatile, making them an ideal treatment for a wide range of concerns. They can fade dark spots, minimize fine lines, smooth rough patches, and reduce the appearance of acne scars. Peels are also effective at managing oily skin and breakouts by clearing out clogged pores and regulating excess sebum.

For many clients, peels serve as both correction and prevention. Regular treatments support a more youthful, resilient complexion and help keep the skin functioning at its best.

How It Feels and What to Expect Afterward

Treatment is typically well-tolerated, with a mild tingling or warmth while the solution is active on your skin. After the peel, your skin may feel slightly tight or appear flushed. Light flaking may begin within a day or two, depending on the strength used.

Deeper peels may involve more visible shedding, but the downtime is still minimal compared to more invasive procedures. Most clients notice brighter, smoother skin within a week and continue to see improvement as the skin regenerates.
