FAQ
Chemical Peel
What are chemical peels and how do they work?
Chemical peels involve applying a solution to the skin that causes the top layers to peel off. By removing these layers, the skin regenerates, often making it smoother and reducing imperfections like scars and pigmentation.
Are chemical peels painful?
Most clients experience a mild stinging sensation during the peel, but it is generally well-tolerated. The discomfort depends on the peel’s intensity and your skin sensitivity.
How often should I get a chemical peel?
The frequency depends on the type of peel and your specific skin concerns. Mild peels may be done monthly, while deeper peels might require a longer recovery time and are performed less frequently.
What should I expect after a chemical peel?
Post-treatment, you may notice redness, peeling, and some irritation, similar to a sunburn. These effects are temporary, and specific aftercare instructions will be provided to ensure proper healing.
Who is a good candidate for a chemical peel?
Chemical peels are suitable for individuals looking to improve the appearance of acne scars, age spots, fine lines, and uneven skin texture. However, they are not recommended for everyone, particularly those with active skin infections or certain skin types. A consultation with our specialists will determine if a peel is right for you.

How Chemical Peels Work
At our Toronto medical spa, every chemical peel begins with a carefully chosen exfoliating solution applied to freshly cleansed skin. The solution works by loosening the bonds between dull, dead skin cells on the surface, encouraging them to shed while stimulating faster cell turnover beneath. As the old, damaged layers peel away, fresher, healthier-looking skin is revealed.
Chemical peels are generally grouped by how deeply they exfoliate:
- Superficial (light) peels gently exfoliate the outermost layer of skin. They are a popular choice for dullness, minor breakouts, and uneven tone, with little to no visible peeling afterward.
- Medium peels reach the upper layers of the dermis to address more noticeable concerns such as acne scars, pigmentation, and fine lines. Expect a few days of visible peeling as the skin renews.
- Deep peels penetrate further to improve more significant sun damage, deeper lines, and scarring. They involve more downtime and are recommended only after a thorough consultation.
During your free consultation at Skin6, your provider will assess your skin, discuss your goals, and recommend the peel depth best suited to your concerns, skin type, and schedule.
What Can Chemical Peels Treat?
Chemical peels are one of the most versatile skin treatments available. At Skin6 in Toronto, we use them to help improve the appearance of:
- Acne and acne scars – exfoliation helps unclog pores, calm breakouts, and soften the look of post-acne marks and shallow scarring over a series of treatments.
- Hyperpigmentation and melasma – peels can help fade dark spots, sun spots, and patchy pigmentation for a more even skin tone.
- Fine lines and early signs of aging – by encouraging cell turnover and supporting the skin’s natural renewal process, peels can soften the look of fine lines.
- Sun damage – years of UV exposure can leave skin rough and discoloured; peels help reveal fresher skin beneath.
- Uneven skin texture – rough patches and enlarged-looking pores can appear smoother after exfoliation.
- Dull, tired-looking skin – removing the buildup of dead cells restores a brighter, more radiant glow.
Types of Peels We Offer
Skin6 offers a range of professional chemical peels in Toronto, from gentle superficial exfoliation to more intensive medium-depth treatments. Every peel is selected for your skin type and concerns — there is no one-size-fits-all approach here.
Linder Health Peels
Skin6 is pleased to offer chemical peels from Linder Health, known for next-generation peel formulations designed to be gentler on the skin with less downtime, while targeting visible signs of aging, acne, and pigmentation. Linder Health peels are an excellent option for clients who want meaningful improvement in tone and texture without a lengthy recovery, and they can be customized as part of an ongoing skin health plan.
What to Expect: Your Chemical Peel Appointment
Consultation. Every chemical peel at Skin6 starts with a free consultation. Your provider will review your skin history, assess your skin type and concerns, and recommend the most appropriate peel — including honest guidance if a peel isn’t the right choice for you right now.
Treatment. On treatment day, your skin is thoroughly cleansed before the peel solution is applied. You may feel a mild tingling or warming sensation for a few minutes while the solution works. The solution is then neutralized or removed, and calming, hydrating products are applied. Most appointments take 30–45 minutes.
Peeling and recovery timeline. With superficial peels, skin may feel tight or look slightly flushed for a day or two, with minimal visible flaking. With medium peels, expect redness followed by peeling or flaking for roughly 3–7 days as the skin renews itself. Your provider will give you detailed aftercare instructions and product recommendations to support healing.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
It depends on your skin concerns and the type of peel. Superficial peels are often performed as a series — for example, once every 3–4 weeks for several sessions — to build cumulative improvement in tone, texture, and breakouts. Medium peels may be spaced several months apart. During your free consultation at our Toronto clinic, your provider will design a treatment plan with a recommended number of sessions and timing based on your goals.
Is There Any Downtime?
Downtime depends on the depth of your peel. Light, superficial peels typically involve little to no downtime — most clients return to their normal routine right away, with only mild tightness or light flaking. Medium peels involve a few days of redness and visible peeling, so you may prefer to plan around social events. Your provider will explain exactly what to expect from your specific peel so you can plan with confidence.
