Chemical Peels Treatment in Cumming, GA

Chemical Peels Treatment at Divine Spa in Cumming, GA

Chemical peels remain among the most clinically proven treatments for skin transformation. Our customized approach makes them suitable for virtually every skin type and concern, from light maintenance peels to more intensive resurfacing treatments.

Who this is for

Chemical peels are ideal for clients dealing with post-acne dark spots and hyperpigmentation, sun damage and age spots, fine lines and rough skin texture, dull or congested complexion, uneven skin tone, or those who want to accelerate the results of their facial routine. Customized peel formulations are available for all skin tones including medium and deep skin tones when performed by a trained provider.

The Treatment Process

Your esthetician begins with a thorough cleanse and skin degreasing to ensure the peel penetrates evenly. The customized peel solution — selected based on your skin type, concern, and tolerance — is applied evenly across the treatment area. You may feel a mild tingling or warming sensation as the acids work.

The solution is then neutralized and removed, followed by a calming serum and barrier-supportive moisturizer. Depending on the depth of the peel, your skin may appear slightly pink immediately after treatment.

PRE-CARE INSTRUCTIONS

  • Discontinue retinoids and all active exfoliants (AHAs, BHAs) for at least 5–7 days before your peel
  • Avoid waxing or facial hair removal for 7 days prior

  • Do not tan or have significant sun exposure for 2 weeks before treatment

  • Inform your provider if you have a history of cold sores, as peels can trigger an outbreak — a prophylactic antiviral may be recommended

  • Avoid blood-thinning medications (like aspirin or ibuprofen) if possible — consult your physician

POST-CARE INSTRUCTIONS

  • Do not pick, peel, or manually remove any flaking skin — allow it to shed on its own to avoid scarring
  • Avoid all active exfoliants until your skin has fully healed
  • Apply SPF 30+ mineral sunscreen daily and avoid direct sun exposure — freshly peeled skin burns extremely easily
  • Keep skin well moisturized with a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer
  • Avoid saunas, steam, and excessive sweating during the healing period
  • Do not apply makeup until any active peeling has subsided
  • Avoid retinoids until your provider clears you to resume

Frequently Asked Questions

1Will my skin peel visibly after treatment?
That depends on the depth of the peel selected. Light peels may cause little to no visible peeling. Medium-depth peels typically produce 3–7 days of flaking or peeling skin. Your esthetician will set accurate expectations at your consultation.
2How many peels do I need?
For most concerns, a series of 3–6 peels spaced 3–4 weeks apart produces the best long-term results. Maintenance peels are then recommended every 6–12 weeks.
3Can I get a peel if I have dark skin?
Yes, with the right formulation. Certain acids are safer and more effective for deeper skin tones. Your provider will select the appropriate peel to deliver results while minimizing any risk of hyperpigmentation.
4Can I get a peel before a big event?
Yes, with the right formulation. Certain acids are safer and more effective for deeper skin tones. Your provider will select the appropriate peel to deliver results while minimizing any risk of hyperpigmentation.
