Chemical Peels

Reveal brighter, clearer, smoother skin in just one week.

Chemical peels are one of the most effective ways to reset the skin without downtime-heavy treatments. At The Aesthetics Collective, we offer three high-performance peel systems—VI Peel, Linder Health Peels, and GlyMed+ Professional Peels—each designed to improve tone, texture, clarity, and overall skin health. These peels are safe for all skin tones and can be tailored for concerns like acne, pigmentation, melasma, dullness, fine lines, scarring, and chronic congestion.

​

We choose these peel systems because they deliver predictable, noticeable results in 7 days with minimal disruption to your routine.

What are Chemical Peels?

Our medical-grade chemical peels use clinically validated combinations of acids, antioxidants, and skin-regenerating ingredients to exfoliate the surface and stimulate collagen in the deeper layers.
 

We offer three advanced options:
 

VI Peel
A medium-depth blend of TCA, retinoic acid, salicylic acid, phenol, and vitamin C. Ideal for acne, melasma, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and early aging.

 

Linder Health Peels (Spotless, Hero, Polite)
Formulated with smart-delivery acids, peptides, and barrier-supporting ingredients. These peels target acne, pigment, sensitivity, aging, and texture—with very controlled exfoliation and minimal irritation.

 

GlyMed+ Chemical Peels
Professional-strength alpha and beta hydroxy acid blends, enzymes, and specialty solutions designed to brighten, refine, smooth, and support acne-prone skin. Can be used alone or layered in a treatment plan.

​

Pricing starts at $350. Series pricing and acne protocols are available and discussed during your consultation.

What Can Chemical Peels Treat?

Acne & Breakouts

Reduces active breakouts, clears clogged pores, and calms inflammation.

Post-Acne Marks & Scarring

Helps fade dark spots and stimulates collagen to improve texture over time.

Hyperpigmentation & Melasma

Targets pigment at the deeper dermal level for more even, radiant skin tone.

Fine Lines & Early Aging

Stimulates cellular turnover and collagen to soften surface wrinkles and improve elasticity.

Dullness & Uneven Texture

Reveals smoother, more glowy skin by lifting dead cells and brightening tone.

Oily or Congested Skin

Balances oil production and exfoliates deeply to reduce buildup and shine.

Acne-Clearing Protocols Available

We offer structured acne protocols using a custom series of VI Peel, Linder Health, or GlyMed+ peels paired with personalized home care, lifestyle guidance, and treatment layering such as microneedling or PRP. These plans help reduce active acne, fade pigmentation, and strengthen the skin barrier for long-term clarity.

FAQ

Are chemical peels safe for darker skin tones?
Yes. VI Peel, Linder Health, and GlyMed+ offer peel options specifically formulated for all Fitzpatrick types, including those prone to hyperpigmentation.

​

How long will I peel?
Most clients see peeling start around Day 3 and continue through Day 5–7. You’ll leave with detailed aftercare instructions and post-peel products. Some of our peels only result in flaking or no peeling at all.

​

Can I do this before a big event?
Ideally, plan your peel 10–14 days before an important event to allow peeling and full skin renewal.

​

Does it hurt?
There may be a slight tingling sensation during the peel, but it’s quick and very tolerable. Most clients are surprised by how gentle it feels.

 

How often should I get one?
Every 4–6 weeks during a corrective series, or every few months for maintenance and glow.

 

Can I wear makeup after?
We recommend avoiding makeup for 24–48 hours, especially while peeling, to allow your skin to breathe and heal.
