If you’re seeking smoother, more radiant skin, chemical peel treatments at Clear Skin Dermatology in Toronto, Ontario, may be the perfect solution. Chemical peels exfoliate your skin to remove dead cells, reduce imperfections, and reveal a fresh, glowing complexion. If you’re considering this popular treatment, we’ve answered some of the most frequently asked questions to help you make an informed decision.
A chemical peel is a procedure where the skin is exfoliated using a specific solution, revealing younger, more radiant skin beneath.

Yes, chemical peels are safe when performed by a trained professional. At Clear Skin Dermatology, our experts use FDA-approved, high-quality chemical solutions tailored to your skin type. Before your treatment, we conduct a thorough consultation to assess your skin and ensure that chemical peels are right for you.
During the treatment, a chemical solution is carefully applied to your skin. You may experience a gentle tingling or warming sensation as it works to exfoliate. The procedure usually takes 15-45 minutes, depending on the type of peel. Most patients experience minimal discomfort, and the procedure is generally well-tolerated.
The depth of the peel determines how long it takes to recover after a chemical peel. Only a few days of minor redness or flaking are common side effects of superficial peels. Medium and deep peels may result in more noticeable peeling and a longer healing period, usually lasting a few days to a week. To ensure the best results, following aftercare instructions, such as moisturizing and avoiding sun exposure, is important.
The number of chemical peel treatments you’ll need depends on your skin concerns. Superficial peels often show visible improvements after just one session, while more significant issues may require multiple treatments spaced out over several weeks. Medium or deep peels typically require fewer sessions. Your dermatologist will develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to your skin’s needs.
