Results with our chemical peels vary depending on the type of peel. With our lighter peels, you may notice an immediate glow, while medium and deep peels require several days of healing before you start to see the full benefits. After every peel, your skin will experience deep exfoliation, which typically leads to some flaking over the next few days. Once this phase ends, your skin will reveal healthy, glowing layers!

Frequently Asked Questions
Your downtime with a chemical peel depends on the strength of the treatment. Light peels typically have no downtime, with minor redness that subsides within hours and very little flaking of the skin. Using a medium peel may cause mild peeling for a few days, while deep peels can require up to 2 weeks of healing. When you visit Gallery Aesthetics for your chemical peel, we’ll make sure you know exactly what to expect based on your specific treatment.
It all depends on your goals! You can have light peels every 4 to 6 weeks for ongoing maintenance, while we typically recommend medium peels every 3 to 6 months. Deep peels require more extended recovery, so we perform them once a year or less. Your Gallery Aesthetics provider will create a schedule that best supports your skin goals with chemical peels in Monterey.
After a chemical peel, keep your skin hydrated and protected from the sun. You’ll want to avoid exfoliating products and harsh skincare for at least a week after your treatment. But you should continue to use a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to aid healing and maintain results. Your provider will provide personalized aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and lasting benefits.
