What types of chemical peels do you offer?

We offer three depths of chemical peels: Light peels (glycolic, lactic acid) for gentle brightening with no downtime. Medium peels (TCA, Jessner's) for more significant improvement in texture, pigmentation, and fine lines with 3-5 days of peeling. Deep peels for dramatic resurfacing of severe sun damage or deep wrinkles with 7-10 days of recovery.

How much do chemical peels cost?

Chemical peels at KC Med Spa Group start at $150. Light peels typically range from $150-$200, medium peels from $200-$350, and deep peels from $350-$500. The price depends on the specific acids used, concentration, and treatment area.

How many chemical peels will I need?

For mild concerns, a series of 3-6 light peels spaced 2-4 weeks apart often delivers excellent results. For more significant issues like deep pigmentation or acne scarring, a series of medium peels every 4-6 weeks may be recommended.

Are chemical peels safe for all skin types?

Most skin types can safely receive chemical peels when the correct formulation is chosen. Darker skin tones benefit from specific peel types that minimize the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Our estheticians are experienced in selecting appropriate peels for diverse skin tones and types.

What is the downtime for a chemical peel?

Light peels have virtually no downtime — just avoid sun exposure and wear SPF. Medium peels involve 3-5 days of redness and peeling. Deep peels require 7-10 days of recovery with more significant peeling.

What Are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels use carefully formulated acid solutions to remove damaged outer layers of skin, revealing the smoother, healthier skin underneath. By accelerating your skin's natural cell turnover process, peels can dramatically improve skin texture, tone, fine lines, acne scarring, sun damage, melasma, and hyperpigmentation. At KC Med Spa Group, we offer a range of peel options — from gentle glycolic and salicylic acid peels for acne-prone skin, to medium-depth Jessner peels and the popular VI Peel for more significant correction. The VI Peel is especially effective for melasma, sun damage, and stubborn pigmentation, with results visible after just one treatment. Our licensed estheticians will assess your skin and recommend the ideal peel type, concentration, and treatment frequency for your specific concerns.

What to Expect

Skin Evaluation

Your esthetician will assess your skin type, sensitivity level, and concerns to select the ideal peel formulation. We'll discuss realistic expectations and any preparation needed before your peel.

Peel Application

After cleansing, the peel solution is applied evenly to the treatment area. You'll feel a tingling or warm sensation that's well-tolerated. The solution is left on for a specific duration based on the peel type, then neutralized and removed.

Post-Peel Care

Light peels have minimal downtime — just mild redness for a few hours. Medium peels may cause 3-5 days of peeling and flaking as new skin emerges. We'll provide detailed aftercare instructions and medical-grade moisturizers to support your recovery.
