Chemical Peels
Refresh dull-looking skin and address uneven texture with a professionally selected chemical peel. PRÈSSE offers Glo Skin Beauty and Face Reality peels, allowing treatment to be chosen around your skin’s needs, current tolerance, and skincare routine. A suitable peel can support smoother-looking, more even-looking skin without making aggressive peeling the goal.
How chemical peels work
Chemical peels use exfoliating ingredients to create a controlled effect in the skin. The depth and response depend on the formula, concentration, application, and your skin’s condition. Superficial treatments focus on the outer layers and may help improve dullness, congestion, and some uneven pigmentation. Not every peel produces visible shedding.
Glo Skin Beauty and Face Reality
Glo Skin Beauty offers professional peel options designed around concerns such as uneven tone, texture, and congestion. The specific formula matters more than the brand name alone. Your provider selects from the formulas available at PRÈSSE after assessing your skin.
Face Reality peels can be incorporated into an individualized acne-care approach. They may help prepare congested skin for extractions and complement an appropriate home routine. A peel alone does not address every cause of acne, and persistent or severe breakouts may require dermatology care.
What to expect
Your provider reviews your products and treatment history, assesses your skin barrier, and selects the peel. You may notice tingling or warmth during application. Significant burning should be reported immediately. Afterward, skin may feel dry, tight, or sensitive, with redness or flaking depending on the formula and your response.
Frequently asked questions
How do I know which peel to book?
You do not need to choose a strength yourself. Tell us whether your main concern is breakouts, post-breakout marks, dullness, or texture. The provider can determine which available formula is appropriate or recommend improving hydration and barrier comfort before any peel.
Do I have to peel for the treatment to work?
No. Visible peeling is not a reliable measure of success. Some treatments produce little shedding, while others cause noticeable flaking. Trying to force more peeling through extra exfoliation can lead to irritation and uneven pigmentation.
Can chemical peels help acne and dark marks?
Selected peels may help congestion and the appearance of some post-acne marks. They are usually part of a broader plan. Deep acne scars, melasma, and active inflammatory acne require different considerations, and a peel is not a universal solution for all three.
Are peels suitable for deeper skin tones?
They can be, with careful formula selection and preparation. Irritation can trigger post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, so choosing an appropriate treatment and following aftercare are especially important. Tell your provider if your skin tends to develop dark marks after irritation.
How much downtime will I have?
Downtime varies by the actual peel. Light treatments may cause brief sensitivity or mild flaking; stronger peels can require more recovery. Ask about your selected formula before scheduling a major event. Avoid picking or pulling loose skin.
How should I prepare and what should I avoid afterward?
Disclose retinoids, exfoliating acids, acne medications, recent waxing, and other procedures. Your provider will give formula-specific instructions on what to pause and when to restart. During recovery, use the recommended gentle routine and sun protection, and avoid scrubs or additional peels. Do not independently stop prescribed medication.
How often should I get a peel?
Timing depends on the peel, your home routine, and how well your skin recovers. Some plans use a series; others use occasional treatments. More frequent or stronger treatment is not automatically better, especially when skin is dry, irritated, or reactive.
