Personalized Chemical Peels for Smoother, Brighter-Looking Skin
Refresh your complexion with a personalized chemical peel at Upscale Med Spa in downtown Tacoma.
Chemical peels are professional skin treatments designed to improve the appearance of skin tone, texture, and overall complexion. By applying a carefully selected chemical solution to the skin, a peel can encourage exfoliation and reveal fresher-looking skin underneath.
At Upscale Med Spa, we take a personalized approach to chemical peels. Your treatment is selected around your skin type, concerns, goals, and appropriate level of treatment—not a one-size-fits-all formula.

What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a professional exfoliating treatment that uses a chemical solution to remove or loosen damaged outer layers of skin.
Depending on the type and strength of peel, professional chemical peels may help improve the appearance of:
- Uneven skin tone
- Sun-damaged-looking skin
- Fine lines
- Rough skin texture
- Dull complexion
- Certain types of acne
- Post-acne discoloration
- Uneven pigmentation
Different chemical peels work at different depths, making professional evaluation important when selecting an appropriate treatment.
Your provider will consider your skin and aesthetic goals before recommending a peel.

What Should You Expect After a Chemical Peel?
Your experience after treatment depends on the type and depth of peel.
You may experience temporary:
- Redness
- Tightness
- Dryness
- Sensitivity
- Flaking
- Peeling
Some lighter treatments may involve minimal visible peeling, while stronger peels can produce more noticeable exfoliation and require more downtime.
Your provider will explain what to expect before treatment and provide specific aftercare instructions.
Chemical Peel Aftercare
After a chemical peel, protecting your skin and following your provider’s instructions are important.
Your personalized aftercare may include recommendations regarding:
- Daily sun protection
- Cleansing
- Moisturizing
- Makeup
- Exercise
- Exfoliating products
- Retinoids and other active skincare ingredients

Avoid picking or manually removing peeling skin. Allow your skin to shed naturally according to your provider’s instructions.
Is a Chemical Peel Right for You?
Chemical peels can be an excellent option for many people, but they aren’t appropriate for every skin type or situation.
Your provider may need to consider:
- Your skin type

- Active acne or inflammation
- Current skincare products
- Recent cosmetic treatments
- Medications
