When your skin looks dull, uneven, or tired, it can make you feel older than you are. Symptoms of aging such as fine lines, brown spots, and changes in texture can appear gradually. However, medical grade chemical peels in Austin remain one of the most effective ways to restore radiance and improve skin health. At BEAUX MedSpa, we offer a curated selection of superficial, medium, and deep peels designed to rejuvenate your skin with noticeable, lasting results.
Whether you want a light refresh or a deeper resurfacing treatment, our providers will help you choose the best chemical peel for your skin type, goals, and downtime preference. Because chemical peels are highly customizable, they are ideal for aging, pigmentation, acne, texture concerns, and restoring your natural glow.
Chemical peels are part of our advanced facial and skin rejuvenation services, and every treatment is customized to help you achieve smoother, brighter, and more even looking skin. For patients who need additional correction, you can also explore our full menu of laser treatments for deeper resurfacing and tone improvement.
Chemical Peel Options
Light Peels
Light, or superficial, peels use ingredients such as glycolic, lactic, or salicylic acid to gently exfoliate the top layers of skin. As a result, these professional peels brighten dull skin, refine pores, soften texture, and maintain a youthful appearance with little to no downtime.
Medium Peels
Medium depth chemical peels treat more advanced concerns such as deeper pigmentation, early signs of aging, brown spots, and textural irregularities. In many cases, these Austin chemical peel options penetrate further into the skin to produce more dramatic improvement than a light peel.
Deep Peels
Deep chemical peels target significant wrinkles, sun damage, and advanced aging. With higher concentrations of TCA or phenol based solutions, these professional peels offer transformative results for severe texture and pigmentation concerns. Because they work more deeply, they are often chosen when lighter treatments are not enough.

Is a Chemical Peel Right for Me?
Most patients with mild to moderate skin concerns are excellent candidates for chemical peels. Typically, the ideal candidate may experience:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin tone or hyperpigmentation
- Acne scars or active breakouts
- Rough or textured skin
- Dullness or loss of radiance
If you are unsure whether peels or injectables are best for your goals, our team can help you compare chemical peels with Botox and Dysport or with dermal fillers. This way, you can choose the treatment plan that fits both your needs and your schedule.
Where Can Chemical Peels Be Used?
Although chemical peels are most popular for facial rejuvenation, they can be performed on multiple areas of the body, including:
- Chest and décolleté
- Back
- Shoulders
- Hands
These areas commonly show sun damage and aging, making chemical peels an excellent option for restoring clarity and smoothness. Chemical peels are not designed to correct deep wrinkles or scars and they cannot tighten loose or sagging skin, but they can significantly improve surface texture and tone.
For your convenience, appointments are available at our Westlake medspa as well as our Medical Parkway location, so you can choose the space that best fits your routine.
Benefits of a Chemical Peel
With a range of solutions and strengths to select from, chemical peels can provide a wide variety of benefits. For example, treatment can lead to:
- Brighter, healthier looking skin
- Smoother texture with reduced roughness
- Softening of fine lines and shallow scarring
- More even skin tone
- Reduced brown spots, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation
Because your peel is tailored to your skin, results can be subtle and refreshed or more dramatic and transformative. During your consultation, your provider will explain which option makes the most sense for your goals.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your peel begins with a thorough cleanse and skin preparation performed by our licensed medical aestheticians. Next, the chemical solution is applied for a customized amount of time before being neutralized or, in some cases, left on the skin. Throughout the process, your provider monitors your comfort and skin response. Finally, before you leave, your provider will review detailed home care instructions to support optimal healing and long-term results.
Recovery After a Chemical Peel
Downtime varies based on the depth of your peel. Light peels often require little to no downtime, while medium and deep peels may involve several days of redness, flaking, or tightness. Deeper peels produce the most dramatic long term skin rejuvenation, and our team will help you plan your treatment around your schedule so recovery is manageable.
After your peel, it is important to follow the post treatment plan recommended by your provider, including sun protection and gentle skincare. This approach helps protect your skin barrier and maintain the results of your chemical peel treatment. In addition, using a customized at-home regimen from our professional skincare and facial treatments can extend and enhance your outcome.
Chemical Peel FAQs
How often can I get a chemical peel?
Frequency depends on the depth of your peel. In general, light peels can be performed every four to six weeks, while medium and deep peels are spaced further apart to allow the skin to fully recover. Your BEAUX provider will recommend a safe schedule based on your skin health and goals.
Do chemical peels hurt?
Most patients describe chemical peels as mildly uncomfortable rather than painful. You may feel warmth, tingling, or a stinging sensation while the solution is on the skin. However, this usually lasts only a few minutes, and cooling measures are used to keep you comfortable.
When will I see results from my chemical peel?
Results appear gradually as the treated skin exfoliates and reveals fresher layers underneath. Light peels often deliver a healthy glow within a few days, while deeper peels show more dramatic improvement over one to two weeks and continue to refine the skin for several months.
