Chemical Peels in Solana Beach, CA
At Sand & Sea Medical Spa, chemical peels are approached with precision, not intensity. We focus on restoring the skin’s integrity while delivering visible, refined results.
We offer advanced, medical-grade peels including the Perfect Derma™ Peel, a medium-depth treatment designed to improve tone, texture, and clarity with minimal downtime. Each peel is selected and customized based on your skin’s condition, goals, and long-term treatment plan.
Our approach prioritizes skin health first—supporting collagen production, correcting pigment, and strengthening the skin barrier for results that look natural, not overdone.
The Perfect Derma™ Peel is a medical-grade, medium-depth peel designed to deliver noticeable results with minimal downtime. It is one of the only peels that combines powerful ingredients such as TCA, retinoic acid, and glutathione—a potent antioxidant that helps brighten the skin and reduce pigmentation.
This treatment is ideal for improving acne, melasma, sun damage, fine lines, and overall skin clarity. Peeling typically occurs over 3–7 days, revealing smoother, brighter, more even-toned skin.
At Sand & Sea, the Perfect Derma™ Peel is often used as part of a broader skin strategy, helping to reset the skin and enhance the results of ongoing treatments.
• Tailored to your skin — no standardized treatments
• Improves acne, pigmentation, and uneven texture
• Treatment time: 30–45 minutes
• Peeling typically begins within 2–3 days
• Results continue to improve over several weeks
• Designed to support long-term skin quality, not just quick results
A chemical peel is a controlled skin resurfacing treatment that accelerates cellular turnover and removes damaged, dull surface layers.
At Sand & Sea, peels are used strategically, not aggressively, to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity while supporting long-term skin health. Rather than over-exfoliating, we focus on selecting the right depth and formulation to create visible change without compromising the skin barrier.
Each peel is part of a larger plan, designed to refine the skin gradually and intentionally.
Chemical peels can address various skin concerns, including:
Each peel at Sand & Sea begins with careful preparation of the skin, ensuring a smooth, even application tailored to your specific concerns.
During the treatment, you may feel a light tingling or warmth as the peel works to stimulate renewal beneath the surface. The experience is controlled, intentional, and designed to balance results with skin integrity.
You’ll leave with a customized post-treatment kit and clear guidance for the days that follow. This at-home care is an essential part of the process, supporting healing, protecting the skin, and enhancing your final outcome.
As the skin renews over the next several days, a clearer, brighter, and more refined complexion begins to emerge.
Following your treatment, the skin may feel tight, dry, and begin to peel over the next few days. This is a controlled process that allows new, healthier skin to emerge.
Downtime varies depending on the peel, but most clients experience visible peeling for 3–7 days with the Perfect Derma™ Peel. During this time, proper aftercare is essential to protect and support the skin.
You will be guided through a detailed post-care protocol to ensure optimal healing and results.
Chemical peels are highly customizable and can be adjusted based on your skin type, sensitivity, and goals. During your consultation, we assess your skin in detail and determine the appropriate depth, formulation, and timing to ensure safe, effective results.
For many clients, peels become part of an ongoing skin strategy rather than a one-time treatment.
Chemical peels offer numerous benefits:
Recovery after a chemical peel is a controlled and expected process, designed to reveal healthier, more refined skin.
With the Perfect Derma™ Peel, most clients begin peeling around day 2–3, with visible peeling lasting approximately 3–7 days. During this time, the skin may feel tight, dry, and slightly sensitive as it renews.
You’ll leave with a customized post-treatment kit and detailed instructions to guide you through each phase. This support helps protect the skin barrier, minimize irritation, and ensure smooth, even healing.
While downtime is temporary, we recommend planning your treatment at least 7–10 days before any important events. As the skin heals, results continue to improve, with clearer, brighter, and more even-toned skin emerging in the weeks that follow.
Results from a chemical peel are typically visible within 1-2 weeks for light peels, and 2-4 weeks for deeper peels. As your skin continues to regenerate, improvements in texture, tone, and clarity will become more apparent. Expect smoother, brighter skin with improved tone and texture. Chemical peels can help diminish the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and pigmentation, leaving your skin looking rejuvenated and glowing. Results last anywhere from 6 months to a year, depending on the depth of the peel and your skincare routine. Regular maintenance treatments will help to preserve and enhance the results.
