Chemical Peels
in Dallas, TX

Controlled Skin Renewal for Tone, Texture & Clarity

Physician-Directed Exfoliation Treatment

Chemical peels use carefully selected medical-grade acids to exfoliate damaged surface layers of skin and stimulate healthy cellular turnover. At Lakewood Med Spa, peel selection is physician-directed and based on skin type, concern, and treatment goals — rather than a single approach.

If uneven skin tone, stubborn acne marks, or dull texture are affecting your confidence, you're not alone. Chemical peels have been a trusted solution for decades — and today's medical-grade formulations deliver results that over-the-counter products simply can't match.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

Results

Visible reduction in dark spots & PIH within 2–3 weeks

PEEL TYPES & SKIN CONCERNS

Peel Categories

Not all peels are equal. Our physicians select the appropriate peel depth and formulation based on your skin type, sensitivity, and treatment goals.

Light Exfoliation

Superficial Peels

Light exfoliation designed to improve acne, congestion, dull tone, and mild discoloration. Minimal downtime and suitable for maintenance or first-time peel patients.

Deeper Exfoliation

Medium-Depth Peels

Deeper exfoliation used to address more noticeable pigment irregularities, early fine lines, and uneven texture. Short recovery period with visible skin renewal.

Precision Treatment

Targeted Corrective Peels

Formulated for specific concerns such as acne-prone skin or pigment-sensitive conditions. Often performed as part of a structured treatment series.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a chemical peel hurt?+
Most patients experience a mild tingling or warming sensation during application. Superficial peels are generally well-tolerated. Deeper peels may cause more noticeable warmth, which subsides quickly.
How long does a chemical peel take?+
In-office peels typically take 20–30 minutes including preparation, application, and neutralization. The actual peel contact time is usually just a few minutes.
How soon will I see results?+
Superficial peels often produce visible brightening within 5–7 days as the skin sheds. Medium-depth peels may show more dramatic results over 2–3 weeks as new skin emerges.
How many treatments will I need?+
This depends on your skin concern and peel depth. Some patients achieve their goals with a single treatment; others benefit from a series of 3–6 peels spaced 3–4 weeks apart.
Can I wear makeup after a peel?+
For superficial peels, makeup is usually permitted within 24 hours. For medium-depth peels, we typically recommend waiting 48–72 hours. Your physician will give specific guidance.
Are chemical peels safe for darker skin tones?+
Yes, with appropriate peel selection. Our physicians are experienced in treating Fitzpatrick IV–VI skin tones safely, using lower-concentration acids and monitoring closely to prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
What should I avoid before a peel?+
Retinoids, exfoliating acids, and waxing should be paused 5–7 days before treatment. Sun exposure should be minimized. Your physician will provide a complete pre-treatment protocol.
Can I combine a peel with other treatments?+
Yes. Peels are commonly combined with DPL photofacials, microneedling, and injectable treatments as part of a comprehensive skin program. Timing and sequencing are determined by your physician.
