Chemical peels are a powerful and effective way to brighten up dull skin, lighten up pigmented skin, and get rid of fine lines and wrinkles. At Gentle Touch MediSpa & Wellness in Orlando, Florida, we offer several peels with varying strengths and solutions. In some cases, a series of peels is recommended to achieve optimal results.
Chemical peels are ideal for revitalizing sun damaged, acne-prone, and aging skin. While there are many different types of chemical peels, they all utilize one or more acid solutions to remove the damaged outer layer of skin and improve skin tone and texture. Common peel solutions include glycolic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C), and resorcinol.
Our estheticians will help determine which peel is best for your skin. We offer several mild to medium strength chemical peels, all of which treat fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation (sun spots, age spots, melasma, skin discoloration), acne, and mild acne scarring.
After a chemical peel, you’ll experience a sunburn-like effect. Mild peels remove only the outer layer of skin, which may appear red and flaky for 3 to 7 days. Treatment time is 20 to 30 minutes, with little to no downtime necessary.
Medium peels remove the outer and middle layers of skin. After a medium peel, your skin will be red and swollen for 7 to 14 days, after which the dead skin will then turn brownish and peel off. It is very important to avoid any exposure to the sun while your skin heals.
The new skin that emerges after a chemical peel reveals a younger, more radiant complexion. Results are cumulative; while you’ll see improvements after only one treatment, you’ll experience maximum results with a series of peels.
I received a Rejuvenize chemical peel by Hope and had a wonderful experience. She is very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. The peel experience was comfortable and Hope explained each step of the peel process. I was also impressed with the entire Gentle Touch staff who welcomed my mom and I and made us feel at home! I'm looking forward to seeing my renewed facial skin!*

My experience was wonderful, so calming and relaxing. As a nurse I appreciate the ambiance and competence and I've already begun to spread the word among my friends and co-workers.*

This was my first visit to Gentle Touch and I was more than pleased with the entire experience. The front desk was very quick to get me checked in and escorted me to as very relaxing room for teas, coffee, water etc. Within minutes I was back getting my treatment. She explained everything to me in easy to understand terms, was very happy, friendly, professional and personal. I will be going back for sure. Best kept secret in this area.... but this is not a secret I'm going to keep quiet!*

While you may experience some redness after the peel, glycolic acid causes little to no actual peeling for most people.
Salicylic Acid: If you have oily skin, acne, or sun damage, a salicylic acid peel is the best chemical peel for you. As a beta hydroxy acid, salicylic acid has anti-inflammatory properties to reduce acne spots, clear up blackheads, and unclog pores. In addition, salicylic acid is very effective at minimizing areas of discoloration caused by sun damage.
Salicylic peels are often applied after a glycolic peel. Like the glycolic peel, the salicylic peel also exfoliates the skin to improve texture and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. However, it is a deeper peel and you may experience redness and swelling for 7-10 days, followed by visibly clearer, smoother skin.
Both glycolic acid and salicylic acid peels are suitable for all skin types. For optimal results, we recommend a series of 8-10 peels.

These peels are designed to minimize the appearance of surface lines, smooth out rough skin texture, and help fade hyper pigmentation. Specific acids for your skin type (glycolic or salicylic acid) will be chosen by our estheticians to remove dead cells from the surface without irritating the skin. This treatment has minimal to no downtime and is safe and effective.

The Pigment Balancing Peel combines L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and glycolic acids to specifically target areas of hyperpigmentation such as melasma and acne-related discoloration. The peeling solution exfoliates sun-damaged skin to improve texture and diminish fine lines, while its brightening and anti-inflammatory agents lighten dark spots and even out skin tone.

Obagi Blue Peel RADIANCE is a salicylic acid-based chemical peel for all skin types. It exfoliates and helps to improve a range of skin concerns, including sun damage. You’ll see tighter, smoother, more radiant skin after just one use. We recommend a series of 4 to 6 peels for best results.

Neova’s Renaissance 2 Peel utilizes a 2-step process to remove layers of aged and sun-damaged skin and improve skin tone and texture. Safe for all skin types, this medium-strength peel combines lactic acid, salicylic acid, and resorcinol to reduce visible signs of sun damage such as fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. It also helps control acne and minimize acne scarring.
Following the peel, our estheticians will apply a DNA repair topical treatment to stimulate the production of collagen and promote healing. While results are visible after only one treatment, we recommend a series of peels to achieve the maximum benefit.
