At The Aesthetic Portal in Tampa, our providers offer customized peels tailored to your skin type, concerns, and goals—from light exfoliation to deeper resurfacing.

What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing treatment that uses an acid-based solution to gently remove dead skin cells and stimulate new cell turnover. Peels can be light, medium, or deep—depending on your skin needs and desired results.

By exfoliating the outermost layers of skin, chemical peels improve texture, tone, and clarity, revealing brighter, smoother, and healthier-looking skin.

Frequently Asked Questions: Chemical Peels at The Aesthetic Portal

What does a chemical peel do for your skin?

A chemical peel exfoliates the outer layers of the skin using a specialized acid solution. This process improves skin tone, texture, and clarity, reduces fine lines and discoloration, and helps treat acne, revealing a smoother, brighter complexion.

Do chemical peels hurt?

Most clients experience a mild tingling or warm sensation during the treatment, but it’s typically well-tolerated. The intensity may vary depending on the peel's strength, but discomfort is minimal and temporary.

Will my skin peel after treatment?

Peeling can range from light flaking to moderate shedding for a few days, depending on the depth of the peel. Light peels often result in minimal peeling, while medium peels may involve 3–5 days of visible flaking.

How long does it take to see results?

Most clients notice a brighter, smoother appearance within 5–7 days post-treatment. Full results, including improved tone and texture, develop over several weeks as collagen production is stimulated.

How often should I get a chemical peel?

For best results, a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 4–6 weeks apart is recommended, especially for concerns like acne, hyperpigmentation, or uneven texture. Maintenance peels can be done seasonally or as needed.

Can I get a chemical peel if I have sensitive skin?

Yes—at The Aesthetic Portal, we offer gentle, customized peels suitable for sensitive or reactive skin types. Our providers carefully assess your skin to ensure safety and effectiveness.

What should I avoid after a chemical peel?

Avoid sun exposure, exfoliants, retinoids, and harsh products for several days post-peel. Use a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and broad-spectrum SPF daily to protect your results and support healing.

Are chemical peels safe for darker skin tones?

Absolutely. With the right formulation and experienced provider, chemical peels can be safe and effective for all skin tones. We customize your treatment to avoid pigmentation risks and support even results.
