Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are a trusted solution for rejuvenating the skin, reducing signs of aging, and addressing a variety of skin concerns. At Eros Beauty and Wellness in San Diego, our chemical peels are customized to your unique skin type and goals, helping you achieve visible results that enhance your natural beauty. By combining chemical peels with our other advanced skin treatments, you can experience a complete transformation for healthier, more radiant skin.

What Are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are professional treatments that use a specially formulated solution to exfoliate the outer layers of the skin. This process stimulates cell turnover and reveals fresher, smoother skin underneath. Depending on the strength of the peel, chemical peels can address superficial concerns such as dullness, uneven texture, and minor pigmentation, or deeper concerns like fine lines, acne scars, and sun damage.
At Eros Beauty and Wellness, we tailor every peel to your skin’s needs, ensuring safe and effective results. Whether you are new to chemical peels or looking to maintain a consistent skincare regimen, our expert team guides you through every step of the process.
Benefits of Chemical Peels
The benefits of chemical peels extend far beyond simple exfoliation. Some of the most notable advantages include:
- Improved Skin Texture: Peels remove dead skin cells, revealing smoother and softer skin.
- Reduced Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By stimulating collagen production, chemical peels help minimize the appearance of fine lines and promote firmer skin.
- Even Skin Tone: Peels can fade hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and discoloration for a more uniform complexion.
- Acne Management: Certain peels help reduce breakouts and clear clogged pores, promoting clearer, healthier skin.
- Enhanced Absorption of Skincare Products: By removing the top layer of dead skin, chemical peels allow your serums and moisturizers to penetrate deeper and work more effectively.
Combining Chemical Peels with Other Med Spa Services
At Eros Beauty and Wellness, we know the best results often come from combining treatments. By pairing chemical peels with other services, you can address multiple skin concerns at once for comprehensive skin rejuvenation.
Microneedling and Chemical Peels
Microneedling is a minimally invasive procedure that uses tiny needles to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture. When combined with chemical peels, microneedling can enhance results by allowing the peel solution to penetrate deeper, further improving tone, texture, and overall skin appearance. This combination is particularly effective for reducing acne scars, fine lines, and uneven skin texture.
Aquagold Fine Touch and Chemical Peels
Aquagold Fine Touch is a micro-channeling treatment that delivers custom serums directly into the skin for hydration, brightening, and rejuvenation. Pairing Aquagold Fine Touch with a chemical peel can amplify results by first exfoliating the skin and then infusing it with vitamins, antioxidants, and hyaluronic acid. The result is a radiant, refreshed complexion that glows from within.
Laser Treatments and Chemical Peels
Laser treatments are ideal for targeting deeper pigmentation, vascular concerns, or stubborn scars. By integrating laser treatments with chemical peels, you can address multiple layers of skin concern. For instance, a chemical peel may prepare the skin by smoothing surface texture, allowing laser treatments to penetrate more effectively and achieve superior results.
Facials and Chemical Peels
Regular professional facials are an excellent complement to chemical peels. Facials can maintain skin health, provide hydration, and address minor concerns, while chemical peels target deeper layers of skin for more dramatic improvement. Combining these treatments ensures your skin stays balanced, clear, and youthful.
Choosing the Right Chemical Peel
Not all chemical peels are the same, and the right peel for you depends on your skin type, concerns, and goals. At our San Diego med spa, we offer a variety of peels ranging from mild, superficial peels to more advanced, medium-depth treatments.
- Superficial Peels: Gentle exfoliation for a refreshed, radiant look, ideal for first-time clients or sensitive skin.
- Medium Peels: Target pigmentation, fine lines, and moderate sun damage for a more noticeable improvement.
- Advanced Peels: Penetrate deeper layers of the skin to address stubborn scars, deep wrinkles, and more severe discoloration.
Our experts will assess your skin, discuss your desired outcomes, and recommend the peel that best suits your needs.
Preparing for Your Chemical Peel
Proper preparation ensures optimal results and minimizes the risk of side effects. Before your chemical peel, our med spa professionals may suggest:
- Avoiding sun exposure and tanning beds for at least one week.
- Discontinuing certain skincare products such as retinoids or exfoliants.
- Hydrating the skin and maintaining a gentle skincare routine leading up to the treatment.
Following these guidelines helps ensure that your skin responds well to the peel and that you achieve smooth, radiant results.
What to Expect During a Chemical Peel
The chemical peel procedure is quick and comfortable. After cleansing your skin, the peel solution is carefully applied, and you may experience a mild tingling or warming sensation. The solution is left on for a specific period before being neutralized or washed off.
Recovery time depends on the depth of the peel. Superficial peels may require little to no downtime, while medium or advanced peels may involve peeling and flaking for several days. Our team will provide detailed post-treatment care instructions to promote healing and maximize results.
Post-Treatment Care and Maintenance
Proper aftercare is essential for maintaining the benefits of a chemical peel. Recommendations typically include:
- Avoiding direct sun exposure and using a broad-spectrum sunscreen daily.
- Keeping the skin moisturized with gentle, hydrating products.
- Avoiding harsh exfoliants or irritating products until the skin fully heals.
- Following a consistent skincare regimen to prolong and enhance results.
Regular chemical peels, combined with complementary treatments such as microneedling, facials, or Aquagold Fine Touch, can provide long-term improvement in skin texture, tone, and overall appearance.
