Medical-Grade Chemical Peels

Medical-grade chemical peels administered by RN staff at three depths: a light glycolic/fruit enzyme peel for brightening and texture refinement with no downtime; a mid-depth TCA peel for fine lines, acne scarring, and melasma with 5–7 days of recovery; and the PRX-T33 bio-revitalising treatment which improves elasticity and luminosity without surface exfoliation. All peels are calibrated to each client's skin type and concern.

SkinSpaMED's chemical peel menu is structured to cover the full spectrum of clinical indication and downtime tolerance, with three distinct formulations administered by registered nurse staff who assess each client's Fitzpatrick skin type and active skin concern before selecting the appropriate protocol. The glycolic peel at $139 is the least aggressive option — a combination of alpha-hydroxy acid (glycolic acid) and fruit enzyme exfoliants that accelerate desquamation of the outermost stratum corneum. This class of superficial peel works entirely within the epidermis, loosening corneocyte adhesion and removing accumulated dead cell buildup that contributes to a dull, rough complexion. No visible peeling occurs and clients can return to normal activities immediately. The glycolic peel is appropriate as a monthly maintenance treatment for overall skin health and as a first introduction to chemical exfoliation for clients new to the category. In Dallas's high-UV environment, regular superficial peeling paired with daily SPF use is a practical approach to managing ongoing photodamage. The TCA (trichloroacetic acid) peel at $389 represents a significant step up in depth and efficacy. TCA penetrates into the upper dermis, causing protein precipitation and controlled coagulation necrosis that the body subsequently repairs with new collagen and a smoother epidermal surface. Clinical indications for TCA peeling include established fine lines and early rhytids, post-acne atrophic scarring, diffuse hyperpigmentation and melasma, and solar keratosis. Recovery involves 5–7 days of visible peeling during which the skin sheds the treated tissue; clients are advised to plan around social commitments and to avoid sun exposure during the recovery and remodelling phase. Strict post-peel sun protection is particularly important in North Texas where UV index remains elevated for most of the year. PRX-T33 is a bio-revitalising agent that occupies a distinctive clinical niche: it contains TCA at a concentration sufficient to stimulate dermal fibroblasts, but combined with hydrogen peroxide in a proprietary ratio that prevents the TCA from reaching a coagulative concentration at the skin surface. The result is dermal stimulation — improved elasticity, luminosity, and fine line reduction — without surface exfoliation or visible peeling, sometimes described as a 'no-peel peel.' PRX-T33 can be applied to both face and body, making it suitable for stretch marks, décolletage, and hand rejuvenation as well as facial renewal. The treatment fits naturally into a busy schedule, with no downtime and full skin normalisation within 24 hours.
