Glycolic, salicylic, lactic, and TCA peels at medical-grade concentrations. Different peels solve different problems — we don't sell one size fits all.
"Chemical peel" is a category, not a treatment. Different acids work on different skin problems at different depths. Glycolic acid for surface brightening and texture. Salicylic acid for oily, acne-prone skin and clogged pores. Lactic acid for sensitive or dehydrated skin needing gentle exfoliation. TCA (trichloroacetic acid) for deeper concerns like hyperpigmentation, melasma, sun damage, and texture.
The clinics that just offer "a peel" without specifying which one and why are essentially selling whatever they have on hand. The right approach is to match peel chemistry to your skin's actual concern, then dose appropriately for your skin type and tolerance.
Peels also vary in depth and recovery. Light peels have no downtime and need to be done in series. Medium-depth peels (TCA) produce dramatic results in one session but require 5–7 days of visible peeling. We help you choose based on what you can tolerate and what you're trying to address.
Four steps. The peel application itself is fast; preparation and post-care matter more than people realize.
First visit includes skin assessment to match peel type and strength to your skin. We may recommend a lighter peel first to test tolerance, especially for darker skin types where post-inflammatory pigmentation risk is real.
Thorough cleanse and prep solution to remove oils that would interfere with peel penetration. Eye protection applied.
Acid applied in layers, monitored for the right level of frosting or color change, then neutralized when appropriate. You'll feel tingling or warmth — moderate for light peels, more pronounced for TCA.
Detailed post-care: avoid sun, use specific products, no exfoliants, no makeup for 24 hours (light peels) or up to 7 days (TCA). We provide written instructions and a take-home kit.
Light peels are best done as a series. Medium-depth peels (TCA) are single-session treatments. We provide quotes at consultation based on your skin and goal.
Best candidates see real results. Wrong candidates can have setbacks.
"I'd had melasma for years and everything I tried made it worse or did nothing. Bronx Med Spa designed a multi-month peel protocol specifically for melasma in darker skin. Six months in, my pigmentation is 80% better. The patience paid off."
Common questions, especially around peel selection, recovery, and safety for darker skin.
Four short questions. We'll match peel type to your skin and goal at your consultation.
