What You Need to Know About Chemical Peels
Let’s be real: when you first hear “chemical peel,” it might sound a little intimidating. The words “chemical” and “peel” aren’t exactly the most soothing, right? But here’s the thing – chemical peels are actually one of the most popular aesthetic treatments out there and the ultimate way to give your skin a reset!
Whether you’re looking to treat hyperpigmentation, target acne and acne scarring, or just want a refresh for your complexion, a chemical peel might be just what you need.
So, if you’ve been curious about chemical peels but need a little more info before taking the plunge, you’re in the right place!
At Hūe Aesthetics we LOVE the VI Peel, for many reasons! There are a variety of peels and we can pick the right one for you. We recommend a series of VI Peels, this allows us to target multiple concerns and increase strength as we go!
How Do Chemical Peels Work?
Yes, chemical peels do “peel” layers of your skin. But don’t worry – it’s not as scary as it sounds and the results are WORTH IT! The peel works by applying a chemical solution to your skin to gently damage the outer layer (your epidermis) and with more aggressive peels, the deeper layer (the dermis). This controlled “injury” encourages your skin to regenerate and increase cell turnover – leaving it looking smoother, brighter, and more youthful.
But, let’s be clear: chemical peels aren’t just for pampering your skin. They’re also used to treat specific skin conditions, like acne scars.
What Do Chemical Peels Treat?
Chemical peels are super versatile and can help with a large range of skin concerns, including:
- Acne
- Oily skin
- Hyperpigmentation
- Wrinkles
- Rosacea
- Actinic keratoses (sun spots)
- Sun damage
But that’s not all! Some people even get chemical peels just for the rejuvenating effects – it’s like a little refresh button for your skin. No matter your reason, there’s a peel for you.
The VI Peel at Hūe has also been studied and proven to enhance your tox results! Talk about a winning combo. Immediately post peel, one of our injectors can perform your tox treatment. This is the BEST way to assess wrinkles and skin concerns from the inside, out!

We offer some awesome chemical peels here at Hūe Aesthetics, including the VI Peel, which is a medium-depth peel that stimulates collagen production. What we love about VI Peel is that there is one for EVERYONE! The most common ingredients in our different VI Peels combines four powerhouse acids:
- Trichloroacetic acid (TCA): Smooths wrinkles, shrinks pores, and promotes collagen production.
- Retinoic acid: Helps fight aging and melasma. Bye bye pigmentation and wrinkles!
- Salicylic acid: Works wonders for acne, thanks to its ability to dissolve oils and fats.
- Kojic acid: A natural brightener that targets melasma and uneven skin tone. Hello to brighter skin!

Preparing for a Chemical Peel
Don’t skip on the prep step! To get the best results, make sure to protect your skin from the sun before and after your peel. On the day of your peel, avoid using makeup or skincare products, as we’ll clean your skin thoroughly before applying the treatment.
When you book a chemical peel at Hūe Aesthetics, we will provide you with custom instructions prior to your treatment for your specific skin type and goals!
