Custom Chemical Peel Vancouver

Available in Vancouver, the Custom Chemical Peel is a professional exfoliation treatment that works on the outermost layer of the skin of the face, neck and décolleté. Its solution can include beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), which dissolve the bonds holding dead cells together and, being oil-soluble, can penetrate pores. As these cells shed, the skin’s natural renewal is supported, helping the surface look smoother and more even.

The Custom Chemical Peel is most often considered by patients who would like to address dullness, uneven tone, blemishes or early visible signs of aging. Because the formula and exposure time are adjusted to your skin’s sensitivity, most people return to their daily activities right after the session. Often repeated with each change of season as maintenance, the peel can be planned alongside other in-clinic treatments such as dermaplaning, and supported by medical-grade skincare protocols, within a broader treatment plan. 

Because every patient’s skin, concerns and medical history are different, the Custom Chemical Peel at our clinics in Vancouver begins with a skin assessment. Our team looks at your skin type, your skin’s current condition and your goals to choose the formula and exposure time. You will also go over the expected results, the light flaking that can follow a peel and any precautions to keep in mind. Book your personalized consultation with our team in Vancouver.

What to Expect During Your Session

Step 1
Cleanse & Tone
Your treatment begins with a meticulous cleansing using medical-grade products to remove surface debris, excess oil, and impurities. A gentle toner is then applied to rebalance the skin’s pH and prepare the epidermis for optimal absorption of active ingredients.
Step 2
Skin Analysis
A personalized consultation allows your skin expert to assess your skin type, current condition, and specific concerns. This analysis ensures the chemical peel formula and exposure time are precisely tailored to deliver the most effective and safest results for your skin.
Step 3
Chemical Peel Application
A customized chemical solution is applied evenly to the treatment area. Depending on your skin’s sensitivity and goals, the solution is left on for a controlled period to exfoliate the outer layers of skin, stimulate cell turnover, and promote a brighter, more even complexion.
Step 4
Masque Application
After the peel is neutralized, a targeted mask is applied to calm the skin, reduce any visible redness, and replenish hydration. This step helps to restore comfort while reinforcing the skin barrier post-exfoliation.
Step 5
Gua Sha & Product Application
A curated selection of SkinCeuticals corrective serums—rich in antioxidants, hydrators, and active ingredients—are gently worked into the skin using our signature Gua Sha technique. This step enhances product penetration, boosts circulation, and provides a moment of deep relaxation.
Sun Protection

The treatment is completed with the application of a broad-spectrum, medical-grade SPF to protect your refreshed skin and lock in results.

Follow-Up & Maintenance

You may experience mild sensitivity and redness for 24-48 hours after treatment. Depending on the original state of your skin, you may experience light peeling that will typically start on day 3 and last for 2-3 days. If peeling occurs, do not peel the skin but simply hydrate it properly. It will speed up the healing process and reveal beautiful, fresh skin. Chemical Peels are a skin maintenance treatment. For optimal results, treatments should be scheduled every change of season.

Contraindications

Pregnant or breast-feeding women should postpone treatment. Particular attention is necessary for individuals with very sensitive skin and naturally darker skin types V and VI.
