How to Prepare
Proper preparation helps ensure a safe and successful outcome. Follow these steps before your treatment:
Personalized Consultation: Your visit will begin with an in-depth consultation with one of our experienced skincare specialists. We’ll assess your skin condition, review any current products you're using, and determine the best chemical peel option for your needs.
Discontinue Active Ingredients: Stop using exfoliating agents such as retinol, AHAs, BHAs, vitamin C, and acne medications at least 5–7 days before your peel to avoid sensitivity and irritation.
Limit Sun Exposure: Avoid tanning beds and minimize direct sun exposure for at least a week before your appointment. Sunburned or overly sensitive skin can increase the risk of post-treatment complications.
Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water helps support overall skin health and prepares your skin to recover more efficiently.
Avoid Waxing or Threading: Do not wax or thread the treatment area for at least 5 days before your peel to avoid excess irritation.
What to Expect
We focus on creating a comfortable, informative, and effective experience for every patient:
Quick and Efficient Procedure: Most chemical peels take 20 to 30 minutes and are easily scheduled during a lunch break or between errands.
Customized Formulation: Based on your skin type and concerns, we apply the appropriate peel strength and formula to deliver optimal exfoliation without compromising skin integrity.
Mild Sensation: You may experience a tingling or warming sensation as the solution activates, but most clients find the process very tolerable. Our team will ensure you’re comfortable every step of the way.
Layered Application: In some cases, peels may be layered or adjusted in strength based on your skin’s response and desired outcome.
Post-Treatment Instructions: You’ll receive clear aftercare guidelines to protect your results and minimize downtime.
Aftercare
Your skin will be more sensitive following a chemical peel, so it's important to follow these instructions for proper healing:
Use Gentle Products Only: Switch to a non-active, hydrating cleanser and a soothing moisturizer to protect your skin barrier. Avoid any exfoliants, retinoids, or acids until your provider advises.
Sun Protection is a Must: Apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily and reapply every 2 hours if you're outdoors. Your skin will be more vulnerable to UV rays, and proper sun protection is key to preventing pigmentation and maximizing results.
Avoid Heat and Heavy Sweating: Skip saunas, hot yoga, and intense workouts for at least 24–48 hours post-treatment. Heat and sweat can irritate freshly treated skin and delay healing.
No Picking or Peeling: If your skin begins to flake or shed, let it slough off naturally. Picking can lead to scarring or uneven tone.
Stay Hydrated and Moisturized: Apply a high-quality, non-comedogenic moisturizer regularly and drink lots of water to support the skin renewal process.

Your Questions, Answered
What is a Chemical Peel?
A Chemical Peel is a professional skincare treatment that uses specialized solutions, such as Jessner and Vivier Peels, to exfoliate and remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells. This process promotes cellular renewal, improving skin tone, texture, and overall appearance.
It’s an effective solution for concerns like acne, sun damage, pigmentation, and early signs of aging. At Cure MD, all peels are tailored to your skin type and goals for optimal results.
How long do results last?
Results from Chemical Peels typically last several weeks to months, depending on your skin condition, lifestyle, and post-treatment care. Patients who maintain a consistent skincare routine with SPF and hydration tend to enjoy longer-lasting improvements.
Results can be extended with a series of treatments spaced appropriately over time. Our team will provide guidance on a customized maintenance plan for continued skin health.
Is the treatment safe?
Yes, Chemical Peels performed by skilled professionals at Cure MD are safe and effective. Our specialists thoroughly assess your skin type and concerns to ensure appropriate peel strength and treatment protocols are followed.
We use medical-grade formulations with proven safety records and tailor every treatment to minimize risks. Mild side effects are normal and temporary, and we provide full aftercare guidance to support safe healing.
Can Chemical Peels be combined with other treatments?
Absolutely! Chemical Peels pair well with other aesthetic treatments like microneedling, facials, and laser therapies for comprehensive skin rejuvenation. Combining treatments can target multiple skin concerns at once such as texture, pigmentation, and fine linesfor enhanced results.
Our team will evaluate your skin and goals to design a customized treatment plan that delivers both immediate and long-term benefits. Combination therapy often leads to faster, more dramatic improvements.
When will I see results?
Improvements in skin tone and texture can be noticed as early as one week after treatment, with continued enhancements as skin fully regenerates over several weeks. You may initially experience some flaking or tightness, which is part of the normal peeling process.
Once the outer layer sheds, a fresher, brighter complexion is revealed. Results continue to improve as collagen production and cell turnover are stimulated beneath the surface.
Are there side effects?
Common side effects include temporary redness, mild peeling, and slight sensitivity, which typically subside within a few days. These are signs the skin is responding to the treatment and beginning its renewal process.
Following proper aftercare helps reduce discomfort and speed up recovery. Our skincare team will guide you through the healing process to ensure your experience is smooth and successful.
How do I know which peel is right for me?
During your consultation, our skincare specialists will analyze your skin type, specific concerns, and desired results to determine whether Jessner or Vivier Peels or a customized combination is most appropriate for your skin.
Each peel offers unique benefits, from targeting acne to improving fine lines or brightening pigmentation. We’ll also consider your sensitivity level and lifestyle when selecting the best option. Our goal is to ensure maximum effectiveness with minimal irritation.
Who is a good candidate for a Chemical Peel?
Most individuals looking to improve skin tone, texture, acne, or signs of aging are good candidates for a Chemical Peel. It’s ideal for those who want visible results without invasive procedures or extended downtime.
People with active skin infections, extremely sensitive skin, or certain medical conditions may need to delay treatment. Our team will conduct a thorough skin and medical history assessment to ensure a safe and effective treatment experience. If you’re a candidate, we’ll create a plan tailored specifically to your skin goals.
