Professional Facial Peels Five Points

You’ve tried everything. The expensive serums. The trending skincare routines. The promises that never delivered. Chemical peels work differently—they remove the damaged skin that’s been holding you back, revealing the smooth, clear skin that’s been waiting underneath.

Within days, you’ll see what your skin actually looks like when it’s healthy. Smoother texture. Faded dark spots. Reduced fine lines. The kind of improvement that makes you want to take selfies again, not avoid them.

This isn’t about temporary fixes or covering problems. It’s about genuinely better skin that gives you the confidence to show your face—literally—without hesitation.

Chemical Peel Treatment Process Five Points

No Guesswork, Just Results

Every treatment starts with a comprehensive skin analysis during your free consultation. We examine your skin type, concerns, and goals to determine exactly which chemical peel will give you the best results—whether that’s a gentle glycolic acid peel, a VI Peel for sensitive skin, or a deeper peel for significant concerns.

On treatment day, your skin is thoroughly prepared and the customized chemical solution is applied. The process takes about 30 minutes. You’ll feel some tingling as the peel works to dissolve damaged skin cells and stimulate renewal.

Over the next few days to weeks, depending on peel depth, your skin begins its transformation. Light peels leave you glowing immediately, while deeper peels involve a controlled peeling process as fresh, healthy skin emerges. We guide you through every step with detailed aftercare instructions and medical-grade products.

Types Chemical Peels Five Points

The Right Peel for Your Skin Goals

We offer multiple chemical peel options because no two faces are alike. Light glycolic peels work perfectly for maintenance and mild concerns. Medium-depth peels target stubborn acne scars and significant sun damage. VI Peels deliver powerful results for sensitive skin types who couldn’t tolerate other treatments.

Living in Five Points means dealing with North Carolina’s intense summer sun and year-round humidity—environmental factors that create specific skin challenges like clogged pores, uneven pigmentation, and premature aging. Our chemical peel selection is specifically chosen to address these regional skin concerns effectively.

Each treatment includes comprehensive aftercare with medical-grade skincare products and detailed instructions. You’re not just getting a single treatment; you’re getting a complete skin transformation strategy designed to deliver lasting results that improve over time.

How quickly will I see results from my chemical peel?

You’ll notice immediate improvements in skin brightness and texture right after treatment, but the most dramatic results develop over the following weeks. Light peels show optimal results within 7-10 days, while deeper peels reveal their full transformation over 2-4 weeks as completely new skin emerges. The timeline depends on peel depth and your skin’s natural renewal rate. Most clients see their most significant improvements around the two-week mark when new skin has fully developed and any peeling has completely resolved. For ongoing concerns like persistent acne or significant sun damage, we typically recommend a series of treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart to achieve and maintain your desired results.
Absolutely, when performed by an experienced esthetician who properly evaluates your skin first. We offer several peel formulations specifically designed for sensitive skin, including gentle lactic acid peels and customized VI Peels that deliver excellent results without excessive irritation. During your complimentary consultation, we thoroughly assess your skin’s sensitivity level, any previous reactions you’ve experienced, and your current skincare routine. This comprehensive evaluation allows us to select the perfect peel strength and formulation for your specific needs. We also provide detailed pre and post-treatment protocols to minimize potential sensitivity. Our philosophy is conservative and gradual—we prefer building up to stronger treatments over time rather than risking your skin’s health with overly aggressive approaches.
Chemical peels use carefully formulated acid solutions to dissolve damaged skin cells and stimulate deeper cellular renewal, while microdermabrasion only physically exfoliates the surface layer. Chemical peels penetrate deeper into skin layers and can address more significant concerns like acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and fine lines. Regular facials provide temporary improvements through cleansing and hydration, while chemical peels actually change your skin at a cellular level, promoting collagen production and genuine skin renewal. The results from chemical peels are more dramatic and typically last months rather than days. Many clients benefit from combining treatments. We might use dermaplaning or microdermabrasion as preparation for deeper chemical peels, or incorporate HydraFacials for maintenance between peel treatments. The optimal approach depends on your specific skin goals and concerns.
Treatment frequency depends on the peel type and your skin goals. Light maintenance peels can be performed every 4-6 weeks, while deeper peels typically require 3-6 months between treatments to allow complete healing and renewal. For active concerns like acne or hyperpigmentation, we often recommend an initial series of 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments every 2-3 months. This approach provides the most dramatic and lasting improvements. Your skin’s response to the first treatment helps us determine the optimal schedule. Some clients achieve their goals with just a few targeted treatments, while others prefer regular maintenance peels as part of their ongoing skincare routine. We customize the frequency based on your results and lifestyle needs.
For light peels, you can typically apply makeup the following day, though your skin might appear slightly pink or feel more sensitive than usual. For deeper peels, we recommend waiting 3-7 days until any visible peeling has resolved and your skin has stabilized. The key is using gentle, non-irritating products during the healing process. We provide specific product recommendations and can suggest mineral makeup options that won’t interfere with your skin’s renewal process if you need coverage during recovery. Your skin will be more sensitive to ingredients immediately after treatment, so avoiding potential irritants like fragrances, harsh preservatives, and active ingredients in makeup is crucial for optimal healing and results.
The peeling process varies significantly based on peel depth. Light peels might only cause subtle flaking that’s barely noticeable, while deeper peels can cause more obvious peeling similar to recovering from a sunburn over 5-7 days. Peeling typically begins 2-3 days after treatment and continues for about a week. Your skin might feel tight or appear slightly red initially, then begin flaking or peeling in sheets. This is completely normal and indicates the treatment is working to reveal fresh, healthy skin underneath. The most crucial thing is resisting the urge to pick or pull at peeling skin, which can cause scarring or pigmentation problems. We provide comprehensive aftercare instructions including gentle cleansers, healing moisturizers, and proper sun protection to support the renewal process and ensure optimal results.
