Chemical Peels

Medical grade chemical peels are advanced skin resurfacing treatments designed to exfoliate the skin, stimulate cellular turnover, improve skin texture, and target concerns such as acne, pigmentation, uneven skin tone, fine lines, congestion, and dullness.

At Clinique Larrivée, chemical peels are customized based on your skin type, concerns, skin sensitivity, and desired level of correction. Treatments range from superficial exfoliation with minimal downtime to more advanced corrective peels designed to improve overall skin clarity and rejuvenation.

Depending on the peel selected, mild to moderate peeling, dryness, redness, or temporary sensitivity may occur during the healing process. Every treatment is performed by trained and licensed professionals under medical delegation.

Your Experience

What to Expect

Every chemical peel is a thoughtful, customized process — beginning with a full skin assessment.

01
Personalized Consultation
Every chemical peel treatment begins with a consultation to assess your skin type, sensitivity, acne concerns, pigmentation concerns, and treatment goals. A personalized treatment plan and full pricing estimate will be provided prior to treatment.
02
Preparation
The skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepped. Your selected peel is then carefully applied, layer by layer, with monitoring throughout to ensure comfort and safety.
03
Treatment
A mild tingling or warm sensation is common during application. Treatment time varies based on the peel selected — typically 30 to 45 minutes total. The peel is then neutralized and the skin is calmed with soothing products.
04
Healing & Renewal
Depending on the peel, you may experience mild to moderate peeling, dryness, redness, or sensitivity over the following days. As the skin renews itself, brighter, smoother, more refined results emerge.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked
Questions

It depends on the peel. The Glycolic Acid Peel typically causes minimal to no visible peeling — just some mild flaking. The Jessner's Peel can cause mild to moderate peeling over several days. The TCA Brightening Peel is the strongest of the three and moderate peeling is expected. Plan accordingly based on the peel selected during your consultation.
This is decided during your consultation. We assess your skin type, sensitivity, concerns, and goals — then recommend the right peel for your specific needs. Many clients start with a Glycolic Acid Peel as maintenance, while those seeking corrective results may benefit from Jessner's or TCA.
Most clients describe the sensation as a mild tingling, stinging, or warmth during application — entirely tolerable. The deeper the peel, the more intense the sensation can be. We monitor your comfort throughout the treatment and the peel is neutralized before any discomfort becomes significant.
It depends on your concerns and the peel selected. Many clients benefit from a series of 3 to 6 peels spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart for visible correction. Maintenance peels every 2 to 3 months help sustain results long-term. Your plan is designed during your consultation.
Initial brightness and smoothness often appear once the skin has fully healed — typically 7 to 14 days after treatment. Results from corrective peels continue to develop over several weeks as cellular turnover and collagen renewal progress.
Yes — chemical peels pair beautifully with microneedling, facials, skin boosters, and injectables. We typically space treatments appropriately to allow the skin to recover between sessions. We'll build a personalized plan during your consultation.
