Which Chemical Peel Is Right for You?

If you’ve been dreaming of smoother, brighter, more youthful skin, a chemical peel might be your secret weapon. At Uplift Skin and Body, our physician-led team of aestheticians customize every peel to fit your skin’s unique needs — because when it comes to your face, one-size-fits-all simply doesn’t apply.

Let’s break down the different types of chemical peels, so you can start picturing your glow-up.

1. Superficial Peels – The Lunchtime Glow-Up

Best for: Dull skin, mild discoloration, rough texture
Light (or superficial) peels use gentle acids like alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) to exfoliate the outer layer of skin. There’s minimal downtime — you might be a little pink for a day — and results are fresh, smooth, and subtle. Perfect if you want to ease into chemical peels or maintain your glow between deeper treatments.

2. Medium-Depth Peels – The Texture Transformer

Best for: Fine lines, sun damage, uneven tone
Medium-depth peels often use trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to reach the middle layers of your skin. They work harder on pigmentation, deeper wrinkles, and more stubborn texture issues. Expect a few days of visible peeling, followed by dramatically smoother, more radiant skin.

3. Deep-Treatment Peels – The Big Makeover

Best for: Deep wrinkles, advanced sun damage, significant scarring
Deep peels penetrate several layers of skin for the most dramatic results. Recovery takes longer, but the payoff is transformative — smoother, firmer, more even-toned skin that lasts. These peels require physician oversight and are ideal for clients seeking significant, lasting change.
