Chemical Peels

Chemical Peels - Greenville SC

Reset your skin. Reveal your glow.

Hyperpigmentation. Acne. Texture issues. Dullness. When your skincare routine stops delivering the results you want, it may be time for a deeper solution. Chemical peels at Aura Aesthetics & Wellness in Greenville, SC offer a powerful, personalized reset — uncovering brighter, clearer, more radiant skin by gently exfoliating the layers that are holding you back.

What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a medical-grade skin resurfacing treatment that uses a carefully selected solution to exfoliate the outer layers of the skin. As those damaged, dull layers shed away, fresher, healthier skin is revealed underneath. Depending on the depth of the peel, the results can range from a subtle brightening to significant improvement in texture, tone, scarring, and fine lines.

At Aura Aesthetics & Wellness, every peel is selected and customized based on your skin type, sensitivity, and goals. We never take a one-size-fits-all approach — the right peel for you depends on what your skin needs, and we take the time to assess that before every treatment.

What Can Chemical Peels Treat?

Chemical peels are one of the most effective treatments available for a wide range of skin concerns. At our Greenville, SC med spa, we use them to address:

  • Hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone
  • Sun damage and age spots
  • Active acne and post-acne scarring
  • Fine lines and early wrinkles
  • Rough or uneven skin texture
  • Dullness and lack of radiance
  • Enlarged pores
  • Melasma

With consistent treatments, many clients experience progressively clearer, healthier skin — with improved texture, more even tone, and a luminous finish that’s hard to achieve with topical products alone.

Types of Chemical Peels We Offer

Not all chemical peels are the same. At Aura Aesthetics & Wellness, we offer a range of peel depths to match your skin’s needs and your lifestyle:

Light peels use mild acids like glycolic or lactic acid to gently exfoliate the surface layer of the skin. They require little to no downtime, making them ideal for maintaining healthy skin, managing mild pigmentation, and keeping skin texture smooth. These are a great option for a regular skin refresh or a pre-event treatment.

Medium peels penetrate more deeply to address moderate pigmentation, acne scarring, sun damage, and fine lines. They deliver more significant results with a few days of peeling and mild redness as the skin renews itself.

Deeper peels provide the most intensive correction, targeting stubborn discoloration, deep texture irregularities, and more advanced signs of aging. These require more downtime but deliver dramatic, long-lasting improvements in skin quality.

During your consultation, Mandy will evaluate your skin and recommend the right peel type — and the right series of treatments — to get you where you want to be.

What to Expect During Your Chemical Peel

Your chemical peel appointment at Aura Aesthetics & Wellness begins with a thorough skin assessment and consultation. We’ll review your skin concerns, discuss your goals, and choose the right peel formulation and strength for your skin type and sensitivity.

During treatment: The peel solution is applied to clean skin and left on for a precise amount of time. You may experience a mild tingling or warming sensation — this is completely normal and a sign the peel is working. The process typically takes 30–45 minutes depending on the peel depth.

After treatment: Lighter peels require little to no downtime. Medium and deeper peels may involve 3–7 days of peeling, redness, and increased sensitivity as your skin sheds and renews. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions to protect your results and keep your skin comfortable during the healing process.

Results: After a light peel, most clients notice an immediate improvement in radiance and smoothness. With medium and deeper peels, the most significant results appear once the skin has fully healed — typically within 1–2 weeks — revealing noticeably clearer, smoother, and more even-toned skin.

How Many Treatments Will I Need?

This depends on your skin concerns and the type of peel we’re using. Many clients benefit from a series of lighter peels spaced 3–4 weeks apart for progressive improvement with minimal downtime. Others achieve strong results with one or two deeper treatments. During your consultation, Mandy will outline a personalized treatment plan with a realistic timeline based on your goals.

Chemical Peels vs. Other Resurfacing Treatments

Chemical peels are an excellent standalone treatment, but they also pair beautifully with other skin rejuvenation services. Combining peels with microneedling, RF microneedling, or medical-grade skincare can amplify your results significantly. For patients with deeper concerns like scarring or significant laxity, Mandy may recommend a combination approach to target multiple layers of the skin at once.
