What Is an Acne Peel?
A chemical peel for acne is a professional-grade treatment that uses carefully formulated acids to exfoliate damaged skin layers, unclog pores, reduce bacteria, and promote new skin cell growth. Unlike over-the-counter acne treatments, medical-grade peels penetrate deeply enough to address active breakouts, post-acne scarring, and discoloration, all under the safe supervision of a medical professional.
How Does an Acne Peel Work?
During your appointment, Dr. Aranas applies a chemical solution to your skin that breaks down the bonds between damaged outer layers. This controlled exfoliation removes dead skin cells and bacteria lodged in pores, while stimulating collagen production beneath the surface. The result is clearer, smoother skin with improved tone and reduced acne lesions. Most clients see visible improvements within one to two weeks, with continued improvements over the following weeks.

What to Expect During Your Treatment
Your appointment begins with a consultation where Dr. Aranas assesses your skin and discusses your goals. Your skin is then cleansed, and the customized chemical solution is carefully applied. You may experience mild tingling or warmth—completely normal. The peel is left on for the appropriate duration, then neutralized. Most clients describe the experience as comfortable and quick, with minimal discomfort.
Aftercare and Recovery
One of the benefits of an acne peel is minimal downtime. Your skin may be slightly red or feel sensitive for a few hours to a day. Light peeling is normal and expected as your skin naturally sheds damaged layers. Dr. Aranas provides detailed at-home care instructions to support healing and maximize results—typically including a gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and strict sun protection (SPF 30+). Most clients return to their normal activities immediately.
