Frequently Asked Questions
What does a chemical peel do for the skin?
A chemical peel uses active acids, TCA, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, phenol, to exfoliate the outermost layers of skin, triggering controlled regeneration of new, healthier skin underneath. This process improves hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, uneven texture, fine lines, and dullness. Results develop over 1–4 weeks as the skin completes its regeneration cycle.
What is the difference between BioRePeel® and VI Peel®?
BioRePeel® is a low-downtime bi-phase treatment combining TCA with amino acids and vitamins, ideal for regular maintenance with no visible peeling. VI Peel® is a medium-depth formulation that produces visible peeling over 3–7 days for more meaningful correction of hyperpigmentation, lines, and texture. Both are used at GFaceMD, selected based on your skin condition and recovery availability.
Is chemical peeling safe for darker skin tones?
Yes, with careful formulation selection. GFaceMD providers assess Fitzpatrick skin type before every chemical peel to select the most appropriate formulation and depth. Darker skin tones are more susceptible to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) if the wrong peel is used. BioRePeel® and the VI Peel® range include formulations appropriate for Fitzpatrick IV–VI with proper provider guidance.
How many chemical peel sessions will I need?
Most patients benefit from a series of 3–6 peels spaced 4–6 weeks apart to achieve significant improvement in hyperpigmentation or acne scarring. Single-session BioRePeel® treatments can serve as monthly maintenance. Your provider will recommend the right protocol frequency at your consultation based on your skin condition and goals.
What is the downtime after a chemical peel?
BioRePeel® involves minimal downtime, mild redness for a few hours, with skin returning to normal by the next day. VI Peel® involves active peeling for 3–7 days, during which skin may appear dry, flaky, and tight. Your provider will outline the exact expected recovery based on the specific peel formulation used.
