Reveal the smoother, brighter complexion already underneath
You have tried the serums, the routines, the promises. If your skin still looks uneven, congested, or a little tired next to how you feel, a professionally chosen peel is often the step that finally moves it.
What a peel addresses
If any of this sounds like your skin, you are in the right place
A chemical peel gently removes damaged outer layers so healthier skin can come forward. What changes — and how quickly — depends on which concern we are treating.
- Acne & congestion
Breakouts, clogged pores, and the texture they leave behind.
- Uneven texture
Rough patches and enlarged pores that keep makeup from sitting smoothly.
- Dullness
Skin that looks tired and flat, no matter how much you hydrate.
- Discoloration
Sun spots, melasma, and post-breakout marks that linger long after the blemish.
- Fine lines
Early etching around the eyes and mouth that a routine alone no longer softens.
- Sun damage
Years of Placer County summers, written across your cheeks and chest.

A Complimentary Consultation:
We evaluate your skin profile — tone, texture, sensitivity, history — and listen to what is bothering you. Nothing is applied until we both understand your skin.
The Peel We Chose for You:
Your aesthetician performs the peel matched to your skin and your schedule, explaining each step as it happens and staying with you throughout.
Renewal, Then Maintenance:
You go home with clear aftercare and a realistic plan — whether that is a short series, a maintenance peel a few times a year, or a change to your daily routine.

From the chair to the glow
What to Expect
Your visit is calm and unhurried, and you will never be surprised by what happens next — we tell you what your skin will do, and when, before you book.
During
Your skin is cleansed and prepped, then the peel is applied in thin layers. Most guests feel a warm tingling that builds for a few minutes and then settles.
The first day
Expect some pink, a feeling of tightness, and skin that looks a little more awake than usual. We ask you to skip makeup for the rest of the day and let your skin breathe.
The days after
Depending on the depth of your peel, you may notice dryness and light flaking as the outer layer renews. Lighter peels pass quickly; medical-grade peels take longer and your aesthetician will tell you what to plan around.
Once it settles
Tone looks more even, texture feels smoother, and makeup sits better. Results build with a series, which is why we often recommend one.
Commonly Asked Questions
Most guests describe a warm tingling that builds for a few minutes and then settles. Your aesthetician stays with you throughout and adjusts the strength of the peel to your comfort — a peel should never feel like something you have to endure.
It depends on the depth of the peel. Lighter peels typically leave a bit of pink and dryness for a day or two, while medical-grade peels involve visible flaking for several days. We will tell you what to expect before you book, so you can plan around your week.
Many concerns respond best to a short series rather than a single treatment, with maintenance peels a few times a year. Your provider will map out a realistic number at your consultation, based on your skin and your goals.
Often, yes. Sensitivity usually means we start gently, support your barrier first, and build strength over time. If a peel is not the right fit for you, we will say so and recommend something that is.
A facial is largely about hydration, glow, and barrier support; a peel resurfaces to change tone, texture, and clarity over time. Many guests use both — facials for upkeep, peels for progress. Your consultation sorts out which you need first.
We ask you to let your skin breathe for the rest of the day, then keep makeup minimal while it renews. Your aesthetician will send you home knowing exactly when to resume your routine.
Yes, with the right peel and the right hands. Deeper skin tones need a thoughtfully chosen peel and careful pre-treatment to protect against post-inflammatory pigment — which is exactly what your consultation is for.
Pause retinoids, exfoliating acids, and waxing in the days before, arrive with clean skin and no makeup, and let us know about any recent sun exposure, cold sores, or new medications.
You can — sun protection simply becomes non-negotiable. Freshly resurfaced skin is more vulnerable to light, so we may choose a gentler peel in high summer and ask you to commit to daily broad-spectrum SPF.
