Chemical Peel at Reston Aesthetics

Treatment Overview

A chemical peel applies a measured solution of acids to remove the damaged outer layers of skin and trigger renewal underneath. Light peels refresh and brighten with no downtime; medium‑depth peels treat pigmentation, sun damage, acne and fine lines with several days of peeling.

Our aesthetician matches the acid, strength and depth to your skin, and peels are often paired with HydraFacial™ or used between laser sessions.

How to Prepare

  • Book a consultation if you have sensitive skin or a skin condition
  • Stop retinoids and exfoliating acids three days before
  • Arrive with clean skin and no makeup if possible
  • Avoid sun exposure and tanning for a week beforehand

What to Expect

  • Skin assessment and peel selection
  • Cleansing, then the solution applied for a few minutes with a warm tingle
  • Neutralizing and soothing products
  • Light flaking for a few days with a light peel; fuller peeling with a medium peel

Aftercare

  • Keep skin moisturized and avoid harsh products for 48 hours
  • Wear mineral SPF daily
  • Skip heavy exercise, saunas and hot yoga for the rest of the day
  • Wait 48 hours before retinoids or exfoliants
