Chemical Peels in San Diego, CA

Renew Your Skin with Chemical Peels

Professional Chemical Peel Treatments

Over time, the skin begins to show the effects of sun exposure, environmental stress, hormonal changes, and the natural aging process. These factors often slow skin cell turnover, leading to dullness, uneven tone, breakouts, and rough texture. Many individuals seek treatments that restore clarity and smoothness without invasive procedures.

At Eros Beauty and Wellness in San Diego, CA, chemical peel treatments are carefully selected and customized based on each patient’s skin type and goals. Our practice offers several professional peel options, including TCA 5%, Jessner peel, TCA 20%, and Salicylic Acid 20%, as part of an individualized care plan focused on long-term skin health and natural-looking results.

What are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are a trusted, clinically guided treatment designed to refresh and rejuvenate the skin.  By gently exfoliating the outer layers of damaged skin, chemical peels stimulate new cell turnover and reveal smoother, healthier skin beneath. Chemical peels are professional treatments that use formulated exfoliating solutions to remove the outer layers of the skin.

This controlled exfoliation process encourages skin cell renewal, allowing fresher, smoother skin to replace damaged surface layers. Depending on the peel’s strength, treatments may address superficial concerns such as dullness, uneven texture, and mild pigmentation, or deeper concerns such as acne scars, sun damage, and fine lines.

Types of Chemical Peels Offered:

TCA 5% Peel

A gentle trichloroacetic acid (TCA) peel that promotes mild skin exfoliation  and skin renewal. It can help improve skin brightness, mild discoloration, and uneven texture.

Jessner Peel

A multi-acid peel is commonly used to treat acne, pigmentation, and uneven skin tone. Jessner peels help clear pores while encouraging smoother skin turnover. 

TCA 20% Peel

A stronger medium-depth peel is used to address sun damage, pigmentation, and deeper texture irregularities.

Salicylic Acid 20% Peel

A beta-hydroxy acid peel is particularly helpful for acne-prone and oily skin. It penetrates pores to reduce congestion, breakouts, and inflammation.

Why Patients Choose Chemical Peels:

Patients often seek chemical peel treatments for the following:

  • Skin that looks dull or uneven despite a consistent skincare routine
  • Breakouts or congested pores that are difficult to manage
  • Sun spots, discoloration, or uneven pigmentation
  • Rough or uneven skin texture
  • Early visible signs of aging

Chemical peels remain one of the most widely used skin treatments because they are:

  • Clinically established in dermatology and aesthetic medicine
  • Customizable for different skin types and concerns
  • Able to address multiple skin concerns at once
  • Quick treatments are typically completed in under 30 minutes
  • Compatible with ongoing skincare and maintenance treatments

Areas Commonly Treated by Chemical Peels:

Chemical peels are commonly used for improving overall skin quality and tone.

Chemical peels can address:

  • Uneven skin tone and pigmentation
  • Sun damage and age spots
  • Acne breakouts and clogged pores
  • Rough or uneven skin texture
  • Fine lines associated with early skin aging
  • Mild acne scarring
  • Dull or tired-looking skin

Treatment areas are selected based on skin condition and individual goals.

How Chemical Peels Work:

  • Chemical peels work by encouraging controlled skin exfoliation and skin renewal
  • A professional peel solution is applied evenly to the treatment area
  • The solution exfoliates the outer layer of damaged skin cells
  • The skin begins to shed and regenerate over several days
  • New skin cells replace the exfoliated layer, improving tone and texture
  • This process helps promote smoother skin, more even tone, and improved skin clarity

Treatment plans are created to support gradual skin improvement with appropriate maintenance.

What to Expect During Treatment:

  1. Consultation: Your provider evaluates your skin condition, reviews your medical history, and discusses your treatment goals.
  2. Preparation: The skin is cleansed and prepped for the peel application.
  3. Application: The chemical peel solution is applied gently to the skin. A mild warming or tingling feeling may occur.
  4. Duration: Treatments usually take 20–30 minutes, depending on the peel type and treatment area.

Recovery and Aftercare

After a chemical peel, patients are generally advised to:

  • Avoid too much sun exposure and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily
  • Use gentle skincare products during the healing process
  • Avoid picking or peeling the skin while it exfoliates
  • Pause strong exfoliants or retinoids until the skin heals
  • Follow personalized aftercare instructions provided by your provider

Depending on the peel strength, mild redness, dryness, or peeling may occur for several days.

When Will I See the Results of Chemical Peels?

Most patients notice a difference in skin brightness and smoothness once the peeling process is complete. Skin may appear refreshed within several days to a week, depending on the peel depth.

For concerns such as acne, pigmentation, or texture irregularities, a series of treatments may be advised. Individual results vary depending on skin type, condition, and treatment plan.

This treatment is ideal for those who:

  • Experience dullness or uneven skin tone
  • Notice acne or congested pores
