Line Refine Peel Quebec
A professional SkinCeuticals peel to smooth and renew the skin.
The SkinCeuticals Line Refine Peel offered at our Dermapure clinics in Quebec City is a professional, medical-grade peel that exfoliates and renews the skin. It pairs a gentle exfoliating peel with corrective SkinCeuticals serums to support the skin’s natural renewal process. The face is the primary treatment area, with the protocol extending to the neck or décolleté depending on your needs.
This peel is most often considered by patients who would like to address a dull complexion, uneven texture, dehydration or early fine lines. What distinguishes it is its focus on long-term skin health and the skin’s own renewal, supported through a consistent routine over time. It can also be planned alongside other medical-grade skincare protocols within a broader treatment plan.
Because every patient’s skin is different, the SkinCeuticals Line Refine Peel at our Dermapure clinics in Quebec City begins with a personalized skin assessment. Together with your specialist, you will determine whether this peel is the most appropriate option for your skin and discuss the expected results, the recommended protocol and any precautions to keep in mind. Book your personalized consultation with our team in Quebec City.

How It Works
As skin matures, cell renewal slows and the surface can look duller, rougher and less even, while collagen (the protein that keeps skin firm and supple) gradually declines. The Line Refine Peel works at the surface: a professional exfoliating peel combined with a gentle mechanical exfoliation lifts away dull, dead cells to accelerate skin renewal, smoothing texture and reviving radiance. Clearing this surface layer also helps the corrective serums applied afterward penetrate and act more effectively, which is one reason a peel can leave the skin looking fresher than at-home exfoliation alone. The face is the primary treatment area, and the protocol can be extended to the neck and décolleté depending on your needs. A typical session takes about 45 minutes.
What to Expect During Your Session
Skin assessment and cleansing
Your treatment begins with a skin assessment to tailor the protocol to your needs, followed by a thorough cleanse with SkinCeuticals Simply Clean to remove makeup, impurities and surface buildup, leaving the skin prepared for exfoliation.
Exfoliation
SkinCeuticals Micro Exfoliating Scrub is used to gently polish the skin and remove dull, dead surface cells, helping to improve texture and prepare the skin for the peel.
Toning and preparation
SkinCeuticals Equalizing Toner is applied to refresh and rebalance the skin. A protective layer of petroleum jelly is then applied to sensitive areas, and eye protection is placed to ensure comfort throughout the peel.
Chemical peel
A professional SkinCeuticals chemical peel is applied and left on the skin for approximately 5 to 10 minutes, depending on your skin type and treatment plan. The peel is then carefully neutralized.
Firming masque and personalized skincare
The SkinCeuticals Vitamin C Firming Masque is applied to help revitalize and refresh the complexion. Personalized corrective serums and skincare products are then selected based on your skin's unique needs and concerns.
Sun protection
The treatment concludes with the application of a SkinCeuticals broad-spectrum sunscreen to help protect the skin and support your results.
Follow-Up & Maintenance
The Line Refine Peel is a maintenance treatment and is often booked at each change of season. For more visible improvement in texture and radiance, a series of 5 to 6 sessions spaced about two weeks apart can be considered, gradually removing several layers of dead surface cells to refine the skin. The Line Refine Peel can be received on its own or planned alongside other in-clinic treatments such as microneedling or the HydraFacial within a broader skin longevity plan, and it pairs well with a consistent medical-grade skin care routine. Results vary depending on your skin and how consistently you maintain your care.
Contraindications
The Line Refine Peel is a superficial, well-tolerated treatment, but it is not suitable for everyone. It is generally not recommended in the presence of an active skin infection or cold sore in the treatment area, or a recent peel, laser treatment, waxing or sunburn in the same area. It may not be appropriate for those currently taking, or who have recently stopped, oral medication such as isotretinoin, during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for very reactive skin and a compromised skin barrier (for example, active eczema or a rosacea flare). If you have a known sensitivity to any of the ingredients, mention it during your skin assessment, which always takes place before treatment to confirm the protocol is right for you.
Common, temporary effects can include localized redness, mild tingling and light flaking or peeling of the skin, usually within the first 24 hours and resolving on their own. Less frequently, temporary post-inflammatory pigmentation or sensitivity may occur, particularly on deeper skin tones. The skin is also more sensitive to the sun after a peel, so daily sunscreen is essential. Contact your clinic if you notice persistent redness, swelling, or any signs of infection.
