Chemical peels may be a great option if you:

• Have dull, uneven, or rough-textured skin

• Want to reduce pigmentation, sun spots, or acne marks

• Experience enlarged pores or mild acne breakouts

• Seek gentle skin resurfacing without downtime

• Wish to boost glow before a special event or post-surgery

Your provider will determine the best solution and depth of peel based on your goals, skin sensitivity, and ongoing treatment plan.

Types of Peels Offered at Meadowlark

We offer a selection of trusted, clinically backed solutions including:

• Vivier Peel – A gentle, effective option for refreshing tone and texture with minimal downtime
  

• Jessner’s Peel – A medium-depth formula often used to treat pigmentation, acne, and sun damage

During your consultation, we’ll recommend the most appropriate formula based on your skin goals and tolerance level.

During a chemical peel, a safe, medical-grade solution is applied to clean skin. It may include ingredients such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, or TCA, depending on the depth and goals of the treatment.

• The solution remains on the skin for a precise period before being neutralized

• You may feel a mild tingling or warmth as the peel activates

• Sessions typically last 20–30 minutes

• A series of peels may be recommended for best results

Light peels offer a gentle glow, while medium-depth peels target more visible concerns with slightly longer recovery.

Your cosmetic provider will guide you through every phase of peel care, ensuring a smooth experience and optimal results. Collaborative support may include:

• Pre-conditioning with retinol or AHA-based skincare to enhance peel penetration

• Post-peel soothing products to reduce redness and support the skin barrier

• Laser or microneedling to complement results in a long-term plan

• Sun protection protocols to preserve even tone

Chemical peels may also be used alongside injectables or in surgical recovery timelines to minimize scarring and maintain skin vitality.

Add a Peel to Your Personalized Plan

Healing varies depending on the strength of your peel:

• Light Peels: Minimal redness or dryness, no visible peeling

• Medium Peels: Peeling or flaking over 2–5 days, similar to a sunburn

• Deeper Peels (if applicable): Require more downtime and detailed post-care

Skin may appear brighter, softer, and more refined within the first week. For cumulative improvements, regular peels spaced 4–6 weeks apart are ideal.

What to Know Before a Chemical Peel:

Chemical peels are safe and effective when tailored to your skin type and goals—but like all clinical resurfacing procedures, they require informed care. At Meadowlark, every peel is performed with precision, safety, and personalized planning.

Common, Temporary Reactions:

• Redness, tightness, or mild stinging immediately after treatment

• Dryness or flaking within 1–3 days (especially with medium-depth peels)

• Temporary darkening of pigmentation before peeling begins

• Sensitivity to sun and active skincare for several days

These responses are part of the exfoliation process and are managed with post-peel care protocols.

Less Common but Possible Risks:

• Prolonged redness or peeling beyond expected recovery window

• Patchy or uneven peeling (typically resolves with hydration)

• Hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation (especially in deeper skin tones if not prepped properly)

• Infection or scarring (extremely rare when performed by trained providers)

• Allergic reaction to active ingredients (rare)

When to Delay Treatment:

• Active acne, rosacea, eczema, or dermatitis flare-ups

• Recent sunburn or tanning (natural or artificial)

• Use of Accutane within the past 6–12 months

• Open wounds, cold sores, or skin barrier impairment

• Pregnancy or breastfeeding (depends on peel type; medical discretion required)
