Chemical Peels in Knoxville, TN

A chemical peel is a procedure that’s used to improve the appearance of the skin through controlled application. At Skin & Sculpt Medical Spa, we specialize in varying strengths of superficial chemical peels: light chemical peels treat the outer layers of the skin, while stronger chemical peels penetrate deeper into the skin’s surface.

Chemical peels work by changing the pH of the skin, loosening the “glue” between dead and healthy skin so exfoliation reveals fresher skin underneath—supporting new, healthy skin cell growth.

What does a chemical peel treat?

Will I peel after my appointment?
It depends on the peel level and your skin. Some peels have little to no visible peeling, while stronger superficial peels may cause mild to moderate peeling for several days. We’ll set expectations during your consultation.
How many peels do I need?
Many people see a brighter look after one peel, but a series is often recommended for more noticeable changes in pigment, texture, and fine lines. Your plan is customized to your skin, timing, and goals.
What should I avoid after a peel?
Avoid picking, friction, and excess heat; keep skin moisturized and protected with broad-spectrum sunscreen. We’ll provide personalized post-care instructions for your peel type.
Are chemical peels safe for deeper skin tones?
Many peels can be selected specifically with Fitzpatrick skin type in mind. Your provider will choose an appropriate formula and strength to help support even, safe results.
