Chemical Peels

Q: When will I see results?

You should start noticing results within the first week, including brighter, refreshed skin and smoother texture, with continued improvements in the weeks following your treatment.

Hit the refresh button on your complexion with a professional chemical peel in Mill Valley, California, at Belle Marin Aesthetic Medicine. Chemical peels enhance your skin by exfoliating the outermost layer of skin cells, removing dull, damaged skin and revealing the radiant, renewed skin underneath.

A series of professional chemical peels affords a wide range of improvements, including brighter, clearer skin with more even tone, smoother texture, diminished lines and wrinkles, and much more. We perform the highest quality of clinical chemical peels, which are designed to be administered only by trained professionals. Since skin responds best to a series of milder peels rather than one intense peel, we offer carefully formulated peels by PCA Skin® which are results-driven yet gentle enough to refresh the dermis with minimal to no downtime.

Fine lines and wrinkles
Uneven skin tone
Acne

We also carry the next-generation peel — Belle Transform (PRX-T33)!
Imagine plumping your skin, brightening dullness, smoothing away scars, shrinking pores and so much more — all without downtime! The Belle Transform peel can do all this, thanks to an advanced, clinically proven biorevitalization process that transforms skin without removing the outermost layer.

FAQs: Chemical Peels in Mill Valley, CA

What happens during a chemical peel?

Two weeks prior to your treatment, we recommend prepping your skin at home with the daily application of a medical-grade vitamin A moisturizer to stimulate cellular turnover and ensure you achieve optimal results from your peel. Your chemical peel will feel relaxing and restorative as we gently coat your skin with the carefully formulated chemical peel of your choice.

Which types of chemical peels do you perform?

Depending on your needs, we offer three different types of chemical peels from PCA Skin, a medical-grade, results-driven skin care line. PCA’s Sensi Peel® is a gentle 6% TCA solution, ideal for sensitive, lighter skin types, that helps to smooth and brighten skin and reveal a more even tone. Ultra Peel® is formulated to help improve mature skin and complexions with sun damage, dark spots, fine lines and wrinkles, and acne. MD Peel® is a medium-strength peel ideal for correcting photodamage, acne scarring and uneven texture. We will help you select the right chemical peel for your unique complexion needs during your personal consultation.

How long does a chemical peel take?

The actual treatment time is usually less than 30 minutes, but we recommend planning roughly an hour for your treatment time from start to finish. We want your skin renewal experience to be as calm and pleasant as it is invigorating for your complexion!

When will I see results?

You should start noticing results within the first day or two following your treatment, including brighter, refreshed skin with smoother texture. You should continue noticing improvements in the following weeks as your skin refreshes.

Is there any downtime with chemical peels in Marin County, CA?

Chemical peels exfoliate only the outermost layer of your skin, so you will enjoy minimal to no downtime with this skin revitalizing treatment. Depending on the type of peel you undergo, you may experience a day or two of a pink glow as your skin renews itself.
