What it is

A chemical peel applies a controlled acid solution to accelerate exfoliation and stimulate new skin. Depth ranges from a light glycolic refresh to a medium TCA peel.

Benefits

  • Fades sun damage, melasma, and post-acne marks
  • Smooths rough texture
  • Adjustable strength for every skin type
  • Affordable compared to laser resurfacing

Cost

Across the Bay Area, chemical peel runs $150–$600 per peel. Peninsula cities like Palo Alto and Los Gatos sit at the upper end, while Fremont and San Jose are generally the most competitive.

Recovery

Light peels: mild flaking for two to three days. Medium peels: visible peeling for five to seven days with strict sun avoidance.

Risks

  • Redness and peeling
  • Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation if sun exposed
  • Rare prolonged sensitivity
