Chemical Peels
Medically reviewed by Deborah Lenchus, MSN, APRN · Last reviewed July 2026
What Are Chemical Peels?
A chemical peel is a professional treatment that applies a carefully chosen solution to the skin to exfoliate the outer layers, dissolve dead and damaged cells, and reveal the fresher, healthier skin underneath. Peels are one of the most versatile tools in skin care — the right formula can brighten dull skin, fade pigment, soften fine lines, calm acne, and improve texture. At LuXe Concierge Aesthetics, peels range from gentle, no-downtime refreshers to more corrective treatments, and each is matched to your skin type and goals rather than applied off a menu.
How Chemical Peels Work
Peels use acids and active ingredients — such as glycolic, salicylic, lactic, mandelic, or TCA, and blends found in medical-grade lines like BioRePeel, VI Peel, and PCA SKIN — to loosen the bonds between skin cells so the outer layer sheds in a controlled way. As that damaged layer clears, the skin responds by producing new, healthier cells and stimulating collagen. Depending on the strength and depth, a peel can work purely at the surface for a quick glow or reach a little deeper to correct pigment, scarring, and lines.
The Benefits of Chemical Peels
- Brighter, smoother, more even-toned skin
- Fades sun spots, melasma, and post-acne marks
- Softens fine lines and improves texture
- Clears and calms acne-prone skin
- Stimulates collagen for firmer skin over time
- Options for every skin type and downtime tolerance
Types of Peels Offered
Because no single peel suits everyone, LuXe offers several professional lines. BioRePeel is a modern, virtually no-downtime peel that resurfaces and stimulates collagen while being gentle enough for most skin types. VI Peel is a versatile medium-depth peel excellent for pigment, tone, and texture on a wide range of skin. The PCA SKIN line offers targeted options — from the gentle Sensi Peel to pigment correctors and retinol peels — for specific concerns. The details of each are below, and your provider selects and customizes the right one for you.
What Chemical Peels Treat
Peels are used for dullness and uneven tone, sun damage and pigmentation, melasma, fine lines, rough or congested texture, enlarged pores, and active or post-acne skin. They’re also a wonderful maintenance treatment to keep skin looking fresh, and they pair well with other treatments as part of an overall skin-health plan.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
Most people are candidates for some type of peel — the key is matching the right formula to your skin type and concern. Superficial peels suit nearly everyone, including sensitive and darker skin, while stronger peels are chosen more selectively. A consultation and skin assessment determine which peel, and what strength, will give you the best result safely.
Who Should Avoid It?
Peels are generally avoided during pregnancy or breastfeeding for certain formulas, over active cold sores or infections, on recently sunburned or highly sensitized skin, and while using certain medications like isotretinoin. Anyone prone to cold sores should mention it. Your history and skin are reviewed beforehand to choose a safe, appropriate peel.
What to Expect During a Peel
After cleansing, the solution is applied and left on for a set time, often with a mild tingling or warm sensation. Some peels are neutralized and rinsed; others, like self-neutralizing or take-home-protocol peels, are left to work over the following days. The appointment itself is quick, usually 30 minutes or less, and you’ll receive clear instructions for the days that follow.
Results and Downtime
Downtime depends entirely on the peel. A gentle peel like BioRePeel may leave you glowing with little to no visible shedding, while a medium-depth peel like a VI Peel typically causes several days of light-to-moderate flaking as the old skin sheds to reveal brighter skin beneath. Results build over the following week or two, and a series often produces the most dramatic, lasting improvement.
Aftercare
Sun protection is essential before and after any peel, and it’s important to let the skin shed on its own without picking or peeling it, which can cause marks. Keep the skin gently hydrated, avoid harsh actives and heat for several days, and follow the specific aftercare protocol for your peel. These simple steps protect your result and your skin.
Risks and Side Effects
Professional peels are very safe when the formula is matched to the skin. Expected effects include redness, tightness, and flaking as the skin sheds. Less commonly, too strong a peel for a given skin type can cause irritation or, in darker skin, temporary pigment change, which is exactly why professional selection and technique matter so much. Following aftercare greatly reduces any risk.
Why It Matters Who Performs Your Peel
Choosing the right peel and strength for your skin type — and knowing how to protect against pigment issues — is what separates a beautiful result from an irritating one. At LuXe Concierge Aesthetics, peels are performed under the care of Deborah Lenchus, MSN, APRN, a nurse practitioner with more than twenty years of experience who teaches advanced aesthetic techniques to other nurse practitioners, PAs, and physicians through both LuXe Concierge Aesthetics and Elevate Aesthetics Academy, and who has performed live VI Peel demonstrations and presented at medical conferences sponsored by VI Peel.

What is the post-treatment care for BioRePeel?
Proper care after a BioRePeel treatment is essential to optimize the results and maintain the health of your skin. Here is a guide to help you navigate the days following your treatment:
Adjusting Your Skincare Routine:
– Gentle Cleansing: Use a mild, hydrating cleanser for the first 24-48 hours to keep the skin clean without causing irritation.
– Moisturize Regularly: The skin may feel slightly drier after the peel, so apply a hydrating moisturizer, preferably one with hyaluronic acid or ceramides, to lock in moisture and support the skin’s natural barrier.
– Avoid Active Ingredients: Refrain from using products with active ingredients like retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) for at least a week, as they can be too harsh on freshly treated skin.
Sun Protection:
– Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen: Your skin will be more sensitive to the sun after a BioRePeel treatment. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, even on cloudy days. Reapply every two hours if you are outdoors.
– Limit Sun Exposure: It is best to avoid direct sun exposure, especially during peak hours, for the first week after treatment. If you need to be outside, wear protective clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses.
Hydration:
– Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water after the treatment helps hydrate the skin from the inside out, promoting faster healing and a radiant complexion.
Other Tips:
– Be Gentle: Avoid using scrubs, brushes, or any form of physical exfoliation for at least a week after treatment. Your skin is already in the process of shedding, and additional exfoliation can cause irritation.
– Monitor Reactions: While mild redness and tingling are normal, if you experience severe reactions or prolonged irritation, contact LuXe Concierge Aesthetics.

VI Peels
The VI Peel is one of the most trusted and recognizable medium-depth chemical peels in modern aesthetics — a synergistic blend of TCA, salicylic acid, phenol, retinoic acid, and vitamin C that resurfaces the skin while staying gentle enough for every skin tone and Fitzpatrick type (I–VI). In a single treatment it improves tone, texture, fine lines, enlarged pores, acne, acne scarring, and stubborn pigmentation — with only a few days of light, flaky peeling and minimal downtime.
Because no two complexions are alike, the VI Peel comes in a family of formulas so your treatment can be matched precisely to your skin and goals:
- VI Peel (Original) — the classic all-purpose peel for radiance, even tone, and early signs of aging.
- VI Peel Precision Plus — boosted with brightening agents to target sun damage, melasma, and stubborn hyperpigmentation.
- VI Peel Purify — formulated for active, breakout-prone skin to clear acne and control oil.
- VI Peel Purify + Precision Plus — for acne combined with post-inflammatory pigmentation.
- VI Peel Body — for sun damage, texture, and discoloration on the chest, back, arms, and legs.
Most clients see brighter, clearer, smoother skin within about a week, and a short series can dramatically improve melasma, sun damage, and acne. VI Peels are comfortable, quick to apply, and a fantastic first professional peel — as well as a go-to for experienced peel patients.
Performed by an Experienced Nurse Practitioner — the LuXe Concierge Aesthetics Difference
What truly sets LuXe Concierge Aesthetics apart is who performs your peel. Every VI Peel is done personally by Deborah Lenchus, MSN, APRN — an experienced aesthetic nurse practitioner who has even delivered VI Peel demonstrations at a medical conference. You are never treated by a technician or an aesthetician. That advanced medical training means safer, more precise, better-tailored results — especially for deeper skin tones and complex pigmentation like melasma.
