Chemical peel recovery time varies based on the strength of the peel you receive. Your return to normal activity can range from a day to a week with a light peel. A medium or deep chemical peel can require a week or two.
Gentle Exfoliation With Maximum Benefits
Over time, dead skin cells build up on your skin, causing dullness, flaking, and texture. You may be prone to dry skin, or you may find that your skin doesn’t quite look like it used to as you age. One of the best ways to give your skin a refresh is with a professional chemical peel.
For more radiant, glowing skin, it’s important to exfoliate and encourage skin cell turnover. There are two forms of exfoliation: chemical and physical. While physical exfoliation has its place, it is often too abrasive for inflamed or sensitive skin. Chemical peels in Memphis at A Beautiful You are a more gentle approach. They use professional-grade ingredients to exfoliate away dead skin cells for restored, beautiful skin.
Face Concerns Treated by Chemical Peels in Memphis
Dryness & Dullness
Your specialist personalizes the chemical peel to you and your skin goals. For example, your provider can offer a deeper peel for more dramatic results or a superficial peel to improve your skin with a minimal recovery period. Because they’re so versatile, chemical peels in Memphis can treat a wide range of skin conditions. One of the most common applications for chemical peels is for treating dry or dull skin!
Skin Pigmentation
Exposure to the sun, your diet, family genetics, and other factors can cause the pigmentation in your skin to change over time. At A Beautiful You, we offer services like chemical peels in Memphis help restore your skin's natural balance!
Enlarged Pores
Variances in genetics ultimately define the size of each person's pores, and large pores often exhibit an overall sensitivity to bacteria and oil, causing them to have a "freckled" or "broken out" appearance.
Discoloration & Hyperpigmentation
Genetics, diet, and other factors can cause pigmentation issues in our skin that affect our confidence. We offer an array of treatments to address pigmentation issues to help you reclaim your confidence.
Skin Texture
There are a variety of factors that affect the texture of our skin, and many of them are out of our control. We at A Beautiful You are here to provide your skin with the fortification it needs to regain its smooth glow!

How Chemical Peels Work
Want to look younger & brighter?
At A Beautiful You Medical Spa, every member of our staff is brought together by our passion for client care. Chemical peels are one of the most versatile tools in our toolkit to treat a variety of skin conditions and ensure your complexion has a bright, youthful glow.
During the chemical peel process (also known as chemexfoliation or dermapeeling), your provider applies a chemical solution to your skin, which causes controlled trauma or injury to your skin’s layer(s). The targeted layers of dead or dying cells eventually peel off, revealing newer, healthier skin. The new skin is smoother with fewer lines and wrinkles, has a more even color, and is brighter in complexion.
Superficial Peels
The lightest form of a chemical peel, superficial peels are great for treating mild-to-moderate skin concerns like fine lines, dry skin, and dullness. Because it only targets the top layer of your skin (the epidermis), superficial peels require little to no downtime.
Medium-Depth Peels
A medium-depth peel addresses the top layer of the skin, but goes one level deeper to treat more deep-set concerns like moderate lines and wrinkles. This requires slightly longer downtime; but the results we can achieve are certainly worth it!
Deep Peels
If you’re trying to address deeper-set skin concerns rooted in the “dermis”—the skin layer below the epidermis and the papillary dermis—a deep chemical peel may be best. This depth can address everything a light and medium peel does, but can effectively address more severe concerns, such as moderate-to-severe wrinkles, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation.
Our Process
Step 1
Your Consultation
During your free consultation, the highly experienced team at A Beautiful You Medical Spa can recommend the right treatment based on your unique skin and your specific skin goals. Don’t hesitate to ask them if a chemical peel, skin resurfacing, or another treatment is best to give you your desired results.
Step 2
Your Treatment
Like a more intensive, professional-grade exfoliation, chemical peels strip away damaged or dead skin cells to produce a youthful and blemish-free glow.
Your provider at A Beautiful You applies a controlled amount of a specialized chemical solution that reacts with your skin. Over the next few days, the outermost layer of the skin peels away to reveal a bright new complexion underneath. Chemical peels are ideal for those who want to treat their dull skin tone, acne, scars, discoloration, scaly patches, or sun spots.
Step 3
Your Next Steps
After your treatment, your provider will explain the best post-treatment practices and what to expect in the following days. You might also schedule your next treatment, whether it be for a chemical peel or something else.

Frequently Asked Questions
There may be some discomfort depending on the strength of the peel you receive. Before your chemical peel in Memphis, we will be sure to review everything you should expect during and after treatment and help you manage any symptoms as they arise.
Yes, regardless of which chemical peel we administer, results will be noticeable once your skin recovers, which can take as short as a few hours for a lighter peel, or a few days for a deeper peel!
Scheduling a consultation with a knowledgeable professional is the best way to determine the ideal treatment plan for your skin needs and goals.
Our chemical peels in Memphis offer effective, budget-friendly options for clients looking to reduce blemishes and target specific concerns like melasma. However, scheduling an appointment with the right provider, choosing the correct peel strength, and understanding the procedure are all essential for safe treatment and great results.
It’s important to remember that chemical peels vary in strength, and each depth requires different levels of skin preparation and recovery. Stronger peels can have the most significant impact on your skin’s appearance, but they also carry higher risks.
Going right for a deep peel without proper skin preparation can lead to irritation, hyperpigmentation, or even scarring. To achieve the best results from a chemical peel, we recommend gradually increasing your peel strength. It helps your skin adjust to the extreme chemical exfoliation, minimizing potential harm and issues.
We also recommend pairing your chemical peel with other skin-fortifying products and treatments. Scheduling a HydraFacial about a week after your chemical peel is an effective way to add moisture back into your skin while maintaining clear pores.
You can also support your skin through a chemical peel by integrating medical-grade skincare into your routine before and after your peel appointment. These products penetrate the skin better and more significantly impact skin health on a cellular level than drugstore products do.
We’ve chosen several medical-grade skincare product lines that offer effective healing and rejuvenation for a wide range of skin types. To learn about our skincare offerings, contact us for a consultation.
Professional chemical peels are safe. However, it’s important to seek a reputable and experienced provider before booking your treatment. Chemical peels use exfoliating acids to break down cellular bonds and peel away the top layer of skin. While effective, this process does come with risks.
A Beautiful You Medical Spa has been performing chemical peels in Memphis and educating clients about their treatment options for decades. With our extensive expertise, we can help you determine if a chemical peel is the best solution for your skin concerns.
Laser treatments are a fantastic alternative to chemical peels. They use advanced technology to provide more controlled results. Fractional lasers are an especially great option for protecting the surface of your skin while addressing many of the same skin concerns as chemical peels. Laser resurfacing treatments at A Beautiful You include:
- Opus Plasma
- Pixel Laser
- ClearLift
- Subnovii Plasma Pen
IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) therapy is another good alternative to chemical peels for targeting unwanted pigmentation from sun damage or dark spots. This light-based treatment emits brief pulses of energy, which are absorbed by spots of excess pigment in your skin. The light converts to heat and destroys the hyperpigmentation, leaving you with clearer, more luminous skin.
