Through sun exposure, harmful toxins, and the natural aging process, your face can lose its youthful glow. These factors dull your skin and contribute to the rise of wrinkles, sagging, discoloration, acne, and other concerns that take a toll on your confidence and your outlook on life. On your worst skin days, it may feel as though these imperfections are here to stay — but a smooth and spotless complexion is waiting just below the surface. We offer a wide range of chemical peels in Sacramento aimed at rejuvenating your skin. Contact us today to schedule your consultation.

This service is available at our Folsom, Sacramento, and Roseville locations.

What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a rejuvenating skin treatment that stimulates your skin’s natural ability to regenerate itself, resulting in an improvement in skin tone, texture, breakouts, fine lines and wrinkles. The treatment causes the dry and dead cells of the outermost layer of the skin to peel, flake off and shed, revealing the healthier skin underneath. Several factors can affect the amount of peeling a patient experiences, including their skin type and resilience level, the type of peel used and the number of layers applied. Even if you don’t physically peel, your skin is still exfoliating. Just one treatment will reveal a healthy and glowing complexion.

At Aesthetic Envy, we provide chemical peels to Sacramento patients created by PCA Skin, which are performed by a PCA-certified esthetician.

What to Expect During a Chemical Peel

Before your chemical peel in Sacramento, your face is thoroughly cleansed to remove makeup, oil, and debris. The chosen solution is applied and left to work; mild tingling, warmth, or stinging is normal and subsides within minutes. Your provider may apply multiple layers to reach the desired strength and depth. The treatment takes about 30 minutes. Afterward, you can resume your routine: cleanse and moisturize as usual, avoid excess heat, shield skin from sun exposure, and apply SPF daily. Some redness or flaking may occur.

What Happens During a Chemical Peel Treatment?

Once you meet with our PCA-certified esthetician and discuss your concerns, they will select the best products to address your issues. We offer the following chemical peels in Sacramento at Aesthetic Envy:

  • PCA Peel With Hydroquinone:This formula is the most similar to the original Jessner’s chemical peel. The PCA Peel With Hydroquinone helps promote an even skin tone and a clearer complexion. Our esthetician may recommend this treatment for patients with dull or uneven skin, melasma, sun spots, age spots or active acne.
  • Sensi Peel:The Sensi Peel is formulated with 6 percent trichloroacetic acid (TCA), as well as lactic acid, azelaic acid, kojic acid and arbutin. This gentle formula is ideal for patients with highly sensitive skin and darker skin tones. Our esthetician may recommend the Sensi Peel to treat fine lines, dullness, poor skin texture, dehydration or redness.
  • Ultra Peel:The Ultra Peel is specifically formulated to improve the appearance of maturing skin. Key ingredients include TCA, lactic acid, azelaic acid, kojic acid and L-ascorbic acid; (vitamin C). The Ultra Peel is ideal for skin strengthening, brightening, plumping, hydration and minimizing signs of aging.

During the treatment, your face will first be cleansed of all impurities, makeup, oil and dirt. The selected solution will then be applied to your skin and left on to take effect. It is normal to experience a tingling, burning or stinging sensation that will subside after a few minutes. Your esthetician may apply several layers to achieve the optimal strength and depth of penetration for your goals. A peel typically takes around 30 minutes.

Chemical Peels FAQs

How Do PCA Skin Chemical Peels Differ From Other Chemical Peels?

PCA Skin chemical peels differ by using advanced formulations designed for safety, comfort, and effectiveness. PCA Skin pioneered the modified Jessner’s peel and offer blended peels suitable for all skin types and tones, delivering refreshed, hydrated results with little to no downtime, including for first-time peel patients.

What Are the Benefits of Regular Superficial Chemical Peels?

Regular superficial chemical peels help improve skin tone, texture, and clarity while promoting overall rejuvenation. These treatments can minimize age spots, sun damage, and freckles, soften fine lines and wrinkles, reduce mild acne scarring, and help control certain types of acne for a smoother, brighter complexion.

Am I a Good Candidate for a Chemical Peel?

PCA Skin chemical peels are ideal for patients looking to treat acne, clear pores, smooth texture, reduce pigmentation, and soften signs of aging. They are safe for sensitive skin and best suited for mild to moderate concerns. More advanced skin issues may require alternative treatments.

Is There Downtime After a Chemical Peel?

PCA Skin chemical peels are superficial and require little to no downtime. Most patients return to normal activities immediately and continue cleansing and moisturizing as usual. Mild redness or flaking may occur, but results develop at a cellular level even without visible peeling.

What Results Can I Expect With a Chemical Peel?

After one PCA Skin chemical peel, skin often appears brighter, smoother, and more refreshed. With regular treatments, patients typically see improvements in hyperpigmentation, fine lines, acne blemishes, and mild scarring. Superficial peels also enhance the effectiveness of at home skincare products.
