What is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a skin treatment that uses a chemical solution to exfoliate the outer layers of skin and promote new cell growth.

At Tia, we offer customizable, medical-grade VI Chemical Peels for the face and professional-grade peels for the body. Your provider will help select the formula that best fits your skin type, concerns, and goals.

Care for your skin afterward

You’ll leave with an aftercare kit and clear instructions for recovery. Flaking may start around day 2, with most peeling easing by about day 6 or 7.

Frequently asked questions about Chemical Peel

Who is not a good fit for this appointment?

  • Have an allergy to phenol or aspirin
  • Have active infections or open wounds in the treatment area
  • Have used Accutane within the past six months
  • Have immune system disorders under active treatment

Who delivers this care?

How long do results last?

The duration of your results depends on many factors, which you and your provider will discuss. For most skin concerns, the most common treatment cadence is 3 treatments, spaced 1 month apart. After this initial treatment window, most patients come back for treatment once every 3-6 months.

Which areas of the skin can be treated with a Chemical Peel?

The VI Chemical Peel and VI Chemical Peel Comprehensive are facial peels used to treat the face and neck. The VI Chemical Peel for Body is suitable for most body parts and safe for all skin tones. Commonly treated areas include the chest, back, arms, legs, and buttocks.

I’m not exactly sure what I need. How will my Care Plan be formulated?

How you address your skin care goals is a deeply personal choice. Your Tia provider is here to thoroughly understand your objectives and preferences, and take your whole health into account when considering results. At the start of every visit, you and your provider will align on your goals and your treatment plan, with you always in the driver’s seat.

What depth of chemical peel does Tia offer?

Chemical peels are classified based on how deeply they penetrate the skin layers and include superficial, medium-depth and deep. The deeper the penetration, the greater the overall exfoliation and cellular regeneration.

Tia exclusively offers medium-depth, medical-grade chemical peels for the face and medium-depth, professional-grade peels for the body. A medium-depth peel goes beyond surface issues without the significant downtime that can exist with deep peels.

Can I use insurance for chemical peels?

This is a cosmetic service and therefore not covered by insurance. For more details on cost, see our Service List.

Is the chemical peel painful?

Tia has selected a chemical peel line that most patients report as comfortable. Your provider will work with you to ensure you’re comfortable throughout the procedure.

Do I have to be a Tia member to receive a chemical peel?

Yes, this service is available to members only at this time.

Is there an ideal age for chemical peels?

Tia uses chemical peels that support all ages and life stages, and the peel formula will be selected based on your skin type and concerns.

Is there an ideal time for chemical peels?

We recommend scheduling this treatment at least 2 weeks before any important life events, so your skin can fully recover and your results can become noticeable.

Can I use VI Chemical Peels in combination with other skin care treatments?

Yes, VI Chemical Peels can be used as a “booster” treatment with other aesthetic procedures to enhance results. Wrinkle Care (Botox or Xeomin) and a VI Chemical Peel can be completed in the same day. Microneedling and VI Chemical Peels should be spaced at least 4 weeks apart.

What our patients say about Tia

Jessica O., Tia Patient
"I cannot tell you how much I truly valued my experience here at this clinic. From the minute I walked in, I felt safe, comfortable and welcomed. The exam room had so many amenities to make you feel at home, I have a hard time calling it a "exam room" - they had amazing robes to wear, drinks/snacks just in case, and even a little sitting area in the room. My nurse was the most incredible woman and held my hand throughout the exam...everything was just perfect. I highly recommend Tia to every woman who wants to have a better doctor experience. This is unlike anything I have experienced and will be recommending every woman I know to Tia!"
Stephanie S., Tia Patient
"It's always easy and I've never felt so taken care of in my life! I actually don't dread making appointments and I don't have to put on armor when I go see my doctor. It's a game changer!"
Katherine E. Tia Patient
"I can’t recommend Tia enough. As a woman who doesn’t like going to the doctor (white coat syndrome) and has been discounted and not listened to by doctors in the past, this experience is everything a doctors appt should be. I am so happy I am now a Tia patient and would highly recommend Tia to any female friend or family member that could benefit from the amazing staff and care here 💕"
Whitney K., Tia Patient
"I’ve never experienced such personalized, sensitive, thorough, and holistic women’s healthcare in my life. So grateful for this clinic!"
