Light to Medium Chemical Peel | Serendipity Skin

Ideal for the person who has never had a chemical peel, and unsure of where to start. Following a skin analysis and thorough consultation, an appropriate light to medium depth chemical peel will be applied to your skin. Chemical peels are very effective and very safe when applied correctly and under the appropriate conditions. At Serendipity Skin we specialize in chemical peel application and safety. Chemical peels range from very light and superficial to very deep and medical grade. The more superficial, typically the less actual flaking or peeling a client will notice. Likewise, the deeper the chemical peel, the more intense skin shedding is commonly noticed. Chemical peels are also designed to treat a variety of skin conditions. There are peels to dry acne, peels to hydrate dry skin, peels to fight aging and much more.

Together we will determine which type of chemical peel is perfect for you!


Light to Medium Chemical Peel

Lactic Peel

Lactic acid is a very gentle, hydrating chemical peel that works for most skin types and most skin concerns. A lactic acid peel is a great place to start if you are new to chemical peels or if you are just starting out on your skincare journey. Lactic acid is derived from milk and is a very hydrating and nourishing ingredient. Lactic acid is known to feed the skin. As the skin becomes more hydrated and can retain moisture more easily, you will notice the overall appearance of your skin improve. The benefits of Lactic Acid include: 

  • Skin Hydration 
  • Dissolving dead skin cells 
  • Increasing moisture retention 
  • Lightening and Brightening skin tone 
  • Softening skin texture 
  • Stimulating cell renewal 
  • Nourishing skin cells

At Serendipity Skin, we always practice safety and caution when performing any of our services. Be assured that we will answer all your questions and address all your concerns. 


Glycolic Peel

Glycolic acid is a versatile, effective skincare ingredient for many skin concerns. A glycolic acid peel is perfect to tackle a wide range of skin issues. Glycolic acid is a popular Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) known for its anti-aging benefits and more. Glycolic acid works by dissolving dead skin cells which, in turn, tells your body to produce new skin cells at a higher rate. Therefore, this ingredient is widely used. Glycolic acid also has great oil drying abilities which makes it a good option to treat acne or oily skin build-up. Skin brightening and lightening are also benefits of this amazing acid when used as a chemical peel. Additional benefits of Glycolic Acid include:

  • Anti-Aging 
  • Dissolving dead skin cells 
  • Acne dissolving 
  • Lightening and Brightening skin tone 
  • Softening skin texture 
  • Stimulating cell renewal 
  • Nourishing skin cells 
  • Oil drying 
  • Increasing skin product absorption 

Glycolic acid is safe for all skin types. Mild to moderate skin flaking can be expected with most glycolic acid chemical peels. 


TCA Peel

Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is a chemical peel specifically designed to peel the skin. TCA is most commonly a medium depth chemical peel which offers a range of results. TCA can be recommended if you are looking for a “good peel”. This treatment is great for anti-aging, scar reduction, and pigment lightening. Because of the way this acid is delivered to the cells, the skin is forced to regenerate, giving a fresher softer appearance. After your skin has sloughed, you will notice the softer texture, brighter tone, and overall healthier skin appearance. At Serendipity Skin, we offer a variety of TCA peels, each one varying in the depth of penetration and offering different added benefits from specific antioxidants to natural lighteners. After addressing your skin concerns and completing a thorough skin consultation the appropriate TCA solution can be chosen for you. Benefits of TCA peels include: 

  • Anti-Aging
  • Dissolving dead skin cells 
  • Stimulating elastin and collagen 
  • Lightening and Brightening skin tone 
  • Softening skin texture 
  • Stimulating cell renewal 
  • Nourishing skin cells 
  • Softening fine lines 
  • Increasing skin product absorption 

This TCA peel is safe for all skin types. Moderate skin flaking can be expected with most TCA solutions. This service can be complemented with a dermaplaning or microdermabrasion treatment at the time of service. At Serendipity Skin, we always practice safety and caution when performing any of our services. Be assured that we will answer all your questions and address all your concerns.

Salicylic acid dissolves oil and aids in exfoliation, Lactic acid encourages cell turnover and moisture retention, and Resorcinol helps your dead skin cells slough away while stimulating collagen production.
