How Chemical Peels Work
/HOW CHEMICAL PEELS WORK, AND WHY THEY’RE SO EFFECTIVE
You’ve been hearing us talk about peels a lot since the beginning of month - but you might not know why they’re such a skincare staple, and why we love them (especially in the fall)!
We’re here to clear up a few things about clinical peels - the difference between the varieties that we offer at the clinic, how many you need for best results, and the general scientific evidence for the effectiveness and safety of getting peels done!
WHAT IS A CHEMICAL, OR CLINICAL, PEEL?
A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure that applies a mixture of acids to the skin. This procedure removes damaged skin cells on the outermost surface layer of the skin to reveal healthier skin underneath. Peels have a resurfacing effect on the skin.
Peels are typically classified as light, medium, or deep in the depth that they treat. Each of these has its own benefits, but your skin type and specific concerns will play a large role in deciding which type of peel is best suited for you. At Nivali, we offer light- and medium-depth peels. These are powerful treatments that have a high level of effectiveness; just a single service offers immediate benefits, with a series of several dramatically changing your skin.
WHAT DO PEELS TREAT?
Chemical peels are capable of treating a variety of skin concerns, but are typically used to clear and brighten the skin while creating a more even-toned collection. However, they have a very wide range of benefits and can also treat the following:
Hyperpigmentation
Dark spots
Acne
Acne scarring
Dull skin
Textured skin
Brown spots
Large/very visible pores
Fine lines and wrinkles
HOW LONG DOES A PEEL TAKE?
Our peels all take between 30-45 minutes, so this is a treatment you can safely do in a short period of time while reaping the results for months to come!
HOW MANY PEELS SHOULD I GET?
We recommend anywhere from 3-6 peels in a series for optimal results. Your skin will need a specific treatment plan based on age, your home skin care routine, and what you’re looking to achieve. But don’t worry - it sounds more complicated than it is! Book a consultation and we’ll be able to dial in on exactly what you need.
The waiting period between peels will vary from client to client - it depends on the starting condition of your skin, and how sensitive your skin is. It could be 4-6 weeks between peels, or it could be up to a couple of months between peels for your best results.
If you’re the type to indulge less frequently in treatments, a peel might be exactly what you need! If you’re going anywhere from 4-6 months between facials or other treatments, a peel is something you should consider for your next visit. This will help rid your beautiful visage of the dead skin cells that have been collecting and will have a lovely resurfacing effect, giving you an immediate glow.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EACH PEEL?
Chemical Peels (20% off in October!)
Our clinical peel is a specialized peel chosen to provide optimal results for your skin; this is done after an initial assessment of your skin. This is a hybrid peel that works on the top layer of your skin. This top layer is responsible for retaining your skin’s moisture, making it a crucial part of overall skin health. This treatment improves skin texture, hyperpigmentation, pore size, acne, acne scarring, and fine lines. Please book a consultation with us if you’ve never had this service done before, or if you’re new to us.

If you’re no stranger to peels you can certainly book this right away, but if you are new to us or haven’t had this treatment before, please book a consultation.

Power Peel - Resurfacing (20% off in October!)
Our premium chemical peel service! This is a medium-depth peel that works deeply to resurface the skin; this will give you pronounced results that rid your skin of fine lines & wrinkles, age spots, advanced discolouration, and acne scarring. With the Power Peel comes some recovery and downtime - there will be about 3-5 days of mild peeling and redness as your skin recovers. After this period, the peel will reveal a noticeably smoother, clearer complexion and baby-soft skin. We only recommend this peel if your skin is accustomed to semi-frequent peels! If you are new to us, please book a consultation before booking this service.
