What Is a Chemical Peel and How Does It Work?
A chemical peel is a controlled application of an acid solution to the skin that causes the outer layers of damaged or dull skin cells to exfoliate and shed - stimulating cellular turnover and revealing the fresher, smoother, more evenly toned skin beneath. The depth of a peel (superficial, medium, or deep) determines how many layers are removed and how significant the results and recovery will be.
Types of Chemical Peels at TOCC Aesthetics:
Superficial Chemical Peels:
Use lower-concentration alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) such as glycolic or lactic acid, or low-strength beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs) such as salicylic acid. These peels target the outermost layer of skin (stratum corneum and superficial epidermis), producing mild exfoliation, improved radiance, and gradual improvement in pigmentation and texture with minimal downtime.
Medical Grade Chemical Peels:
Use higher-concentration or combination acid formulations - including trichloroacetic acid (TCA), Jessner's solution, or formulations such as the Perfect Derma Peel - to penetrate into the deeper layers of the epidermis and superficial dermis. These produce more significant and faster improvement in texture, pigmentation, acne scarring, and photoaging, with 5 to 7 days of visible peeling.

- Dull, rough, or congested skin texture
- Melasma - in the appropriate formulation and sequence for your skin type

Your Chemical Peels Appointment at TOCC Aesthetics, Step by Step
Every treatment at TOCC Aesthetics follows a careful, patient-centered process. Here is exactly what to expect:
- Consultation and Skin Assessment: Tiffany evaluates your skin type, concerns, and Fitzpatrick classification to select the most appropriate peel formulation and concentration.
- Pre-Peel Preparation: Depending on the peel selected, a pre-treatment priming protocol using specific actives may be recommended to prepare your skin and reduce the risk of adverse reactions.
- Treatment: The peel solution is applied to cleansed skin and left for a controlled time. You may feel tingling, mild warmth, or brief stinging. Tiffany monitors your skin response throughout.
- Neutralization: The peel is neutralized or removed at the appropriate time. A soothing, hydrating product is applied.
- Aftercare: You receive detailed post-peel care instructions - sun protection is essential, and specific product avoidance (retinoids, AHAs) is required during the peeling phase.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many chemical peel treatments do I need?
Superficial peels produce best results as a series - typically 4 to 6 treatments spaced 3 to 4 weeks apart. Medical grade peels are more powerful and may show significant improvement in 1 to 2 treatments. Tiffany recommends the appropriate series at your consultation.
Are chemical peels safe for darker skin tones?
Chemical peels can be safe for darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV–VI) when the correct formulation and concentration are selected. The primary risk is post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) - worsening of pigmentation following treatment. Dr. Tiffany Jarrett assesses your Fitzpatrick type and uses appropriate formulations and pre-treatment priming protocols to minimize this risk.
How long does peeling last after a chemical peel?
Superficial peels produce mild flaking that typically begins 2 to 3 days after treatment and is largely resolved by day 4 to 5. Medical grade peels produce more significant visible peeling that begins day 3 and typically resolves by day 7. During this period, skin should not be manually picked or peeled.
Can I combine chemical peels with other treatments at TOCC Aesthetics?
Yes - chemical peels can be effectively combined with microneedling in a sequential protocol to address both surface pigmentation and deeper textural concerns simultaneously. Dr. Tiffany Jarrett will recommend the most effective combination based on your goals.
