Chemical peels in Grand Junction at Flawless Glo use carefully chosen acid solutions to loosen dull, damaged surface skin so smoother, brighter skin can come through. A chemical peel treatment is $150 at our downtown studio.
We offer several strengths, from gentle peels for pores and early fine lines to stronger peels for sun damage and acne scarring. Your licensed esthetician matches the formula to your skin type and what you want to improve.
Chemical Peels can help with
- Dull, uneven skin that needs brightening
- Enlarged pores and early fine lines
- Sun spots and photodamage
- Mild to moderate acne scars
- Crepey skin and dark circles under the eyes
Peel strengths and what each one treats
A chemical peel is an umbrella term for a range of topical resurfacers. The strength of the formula decides how deep it works and how much peeling you will see afterward.
- Superficial peels: for fine lines, wrinkles, large pores and dark spots, with a light tightening effect and little visible peeling.
- Medium-depth peels: for noticeable sun damage and sun spots, mild to moderate acne scars, and crepey skin or dark circles under the eyes.
- Our strongest peels: for more serious concerns such as deeper acne scarring, heavy sun damage or skin that has lost firmness.
How often to get a chemical peel
Lighter peels work best as a routine. A series spaced several weeks apart builds results gradually and keeps skin looking fresh between seasons, which helps with the dry air and strong sun here in the Grand Valley.
Stronger peels are done less often because your skin needs more time to recover. We will map out a schedule that fits your skin, and pair it with home care so your results hold. Individual results vary.
What to expect
Skin check
We look at your skin, ask about recent sun, waxing, retinoids and any sensitivity, then pick the peel strength that suits you.
The peel
Your skin is thoroughly cleansed, then the solution is applied in even layers. You will feel tingling or warmth that builds and then eases before the peel is removed or neutralized.
At-home care
Use a gentle cleanser, keep skin moisturized and wear sunscreen every day. Let any flaking skin come away on its own instead of picking or scrubbing.
Results
Once peeling finishes, skin looks brighter and feels smoother. Spots and texture keep improving with each peel in a series.
Chemical Peels questions
A chemical peel treatment at Flawless Glo is $150. Payment plans through Cherry are available if you are booking a series.
Most peels feel like tingling, itching or warmth for a few minutes. Stronger peels feel more intense, and we keep a close eye on your comfort the whole time.
Light peels may cause little more than mild flaking for a day or two. Medium and stronger peels bring several days of visible peeling, so plan those around important events.
Many peels can be used on darker skin when the formula and strength are chosen carefully. That is why we assess your skin first and may start with a gentler option to see how it responds.
