Chemical peels have an intimidating reputation, but modern formulations are far more controlled and predictable than their predecessors. At Waxing for Women, we use medical-grade peels calibrated to your specific skin concerns — whether that’s hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, or early signs of aging.
The process begins with a thorough skin analysis. We assess your Fitzpatrick skin type, current product regimen, and any contraindications. Based on this, we select from three peel categories: superficial (glycolic/lactic acid, 20-30% concentration), medium (TCA 15-25%), or combination peels that layer acids for targeted depth control.
During the treatment, you’ll feel a tingling or warming sensation that lasts 2-5 minutes depending on the peel depth. Our specialists monitor your skin’s response in real-time and neutralize immediately if needed. Post-treatment, we apply a calming serum and mineral SPF, and send you home with a specific aftercare protocol.
Results typically appear within 5-7 days as the treated layer sheds and reveals fresh, evenly pigmented skin beneath. For optimal results, we recommend a series of 3-4 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart.
