Chemical Peel Reviews in San Ramon

WHAT IS A CHEMICAL PEEL AND HOW IT WORKS

Chemical Peels are done in the comfort of the MedLounge San Ramon by our medical professionals

A chemical peel is a professional skin treatment that uses a specially formulated solution to gently exfoliate the outer layers of skin. By encouraging controlled cell turnover, chemical peels reveal a fresher, smoother, and more even complexion underneath. At MedLounge San Ramon, our providers customize each peel to your skin type and goals, helping address fine lines, sun damage, acne, uneven tone, and texture concerns.

Beyond surface renewal, chemical peels stimulate collagen production, which supports skin firmness and elasticity over time. Most treatments take less than an hour, and while you may experience redness, mild peeling, or sensitivity afterward, these effects are temporary and part of the natural healing process. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a safe recovery and beautiful, lasting results.

Chemical peels come in different strengths:

  • Light peels (using AHAs like glycolic or lactic acid, or BHAs like salicylic acid) target surface-level dullness, clogged pores, and mild discoloration with little to no downtime.

  • Medium peels (often with TCA or stronger blends) penetrate deeper to improve moderate wrinkles, acne scars, and stubborn pigmentation, usually requiring a few days of recovery.

  • Deep peels go beneath the surface layers of skin for significant rejuvenation and are reserved for more advanced skin concerns.

Skin Concerns Chemical Peels Can Treat

Chemical peels are one of the most effective treatments for improving a wide range of skin concerns. At MedLounge San Ramon, chemical peels are commonly used to treat:

• Acne and active breakouts
• Acne scars and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
• Melasma and stubborn pigmentation
• Sun damage and age spots
• Fine lines and uneven skin texture
• Enlarged pores and dull skin

Clients from San Ramon and surrounding Tri-Valley cities choose chemical peels for visible skin renewal with minimal downtime when performed under professional care.

Who Should Try Chemical Peels in San Ramon:

Exfoliation & Texture Improvement

Chemical peels remove the outer layer of dead skin cells, smoothing rough texture, unclogging pores, and promoting a more even, radiant complexion.

Pigmentation & Tone Correction

They help reduce acne scars, hyperpigmentation, sun spots, melasma, and uneven skin tone, leaving the skin looking clearer and brighter.

Fine Lines & Wrinkle Reduction

By stimulating collagen production, chemical peels help soften fine lines, improve elasticity, and reduce the visible signs of aging.

Treatment details

Just sit back, close your eyes, and let your professionally selected chemical peel do the work. At our San Ramon practice, chemical peel patients may feel mild tingling at first; however, since our peels also act as a mild anesthetic, the treatment usually feels comfortable.

Chemical peels can be applied to the entire face, specific facial areas, or even the neck, chest, hands, legs, and arms.The experienced and licensed medical aestheticians at our MedLounge MedSpa will help you pick one that will improve your skin the most within your available downtime.

Chemical Peels & other exfoliation treatments:

Perfect Derma™ Peel

The Perfect Derma Peel is a medical-grade, medium-depth chemical peel suitable for all skin types and ethnicities. This chemical peel stands out because it contains Glutathione, the master antioxidant, which helps reduce free radical damage, brightens the skin, and slows down the aging process, all while addressing acne, hyperpigmentation, melasma and other common skin concerns. You can expect to see healthier, younger-looking skin results in about one week.

ZO Stimulator Peel

Often called the “red carpet peel,” the ZO Stimulator Peel is a gentle yet powerful treatment that revives dull skin and restores a healthy glow—with no downtime. Using a blend of alpha hydroxy acids and exfoliating agents, it reduces fine lines, sun damage, and uneven tone, leaving skin smoother, brighter, and more radiant after just one session. Safe for all skin types, the ZO Stimulator Peel is the perfect option for those looking for quick, glowing results without the recovery time of deeper peels.

VI Peel

The VI Peel is a powerful yet gentle medical-grade chemical peel designed to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity. Safe for all skin types, this treatment helps reduce fine lines, acne scars, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation while stimulating collagen production. With minimal downtime, the VI Peel reveals smoother, brighter, and healthier-looking skin.

Obagi Blue Peel

Melanage is a superficial peel designed to improve uneven skin tone, deep pigment issues (hyperpigmentation) and melasma. The treatment involves a medicated masque applied in the office and an at-home regimen.

Face Reality Clear Skin Peel #1

The Face Reality Clear Skin Peel #1 is a specialized peel formulated to target acne-prone and congested skin. Gentle yet effective, it helps unclog pores, reduce breakouts, and smooth skin texture while minimizing irritation. This treatment promotes clearer, healthier-looking skin, making it an ideal choice for those starting their acne-healing journey.

Face Reality Clear Skin Peel #2 / #3

The Face Reality Clear Skin Peel #2 and #3 are advanced acne-focused treatments designed for clients who are ready for deeper exfoliation. These peels penetrate more effectively to reduce active breakouts, smooth uneven texture, and lighten post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. They promote cell turnover, unclog pores, and enhance overall skin clarity while supporting long-term acne management.

What’s Our Chemical Peel Process?

At MedLounge San Ramon, our chemical peel process is designed to gently exfoliate damaged skin and stimulate healthy cell turnover for a smoother, more radiant complexion. During your treatment, we carefully apply a specially formulated peel solution to your skin. As it works, the peel dissolves dead skin cells, clears clogged pores, and encourages the growth of fresh, healthy skin.


Depending on the type and strength of the peel, we can target a wide range of skin concerns, including fine lines, acne and acne scars, sun damage, dark spots, hyperpigmentation, melasma, and uneven skin texture. Over the days following your peel, the treated skin naturally sheds, revealing clearer, brighter, and more even-toned skin underneath.


Many of our clients from San Ramon, Blackhawk, Danville, Dublin, Pleasanton, and Walnut Creek choose regular San Ramon chemical peel treatments. These sessions help maintain skin health, stimulate collagen production, and achieve long-term improvements in tone, texture, and radiance.

Consultation​

Your journey begins with a professional skin consultation. During this visit, your provider evaluates your skin type, discusses your concerns (acne, pigmentation, fine lines, dullness, etc.), and recommends the best chemical peel option tailored to your goals.

Skin Preparation

Before the peel, we gently cleanse your skin to remove oils, dirt, and makeup. In addition, some clients may be advised to use pre-treatment skincare—such as medical-grade exfoliants or pigment control products—for 1 to 2 weeks beforehand. This preparation enhances results and also minimizes risk.

Application of the Peel

Your provider applies the chemical peel solution evenly across the skin. Depending on the type of peel, you may feel mild tingling, warmth, or tightening as the active ingredients begin working to exfoliate the outer layer of skin.

Peel Activation & Monitoring

The peel is left on the skin for a set time, allowing the ingredients to penetrate and begin breaking down dead skin cells. Your provider closely monitors your skin to ensure a safe and effective treatment.

Neutralization & Protection

After the peel has done its work, the solution is either neutralized or left to self-neutralize (depending on the type of peel). A soothing serum, moisturizer, and broad-spectrum sunscreen are then applied to protect the skin.

Aftercare Instructions

You’ll receive personalized aftercare guidelines. This may include avoiding sun exposure, pausing retinoids or exfoliants, keeping skin moisturized, and applying SPF daily. Light peels often require little downtime, while medium-depth peels may involve visible peeling over several days.

Results & Follow-Up

As the old skin sheds, you’ll notice smoother texture, brighter tone, and a more even complexion. For best results, many clients undergo a series of 3–6 peels spaced about 4 weeks apart, followed by maintenance treatments.

Step 8: Results & Maintenance

Over the next several weeks, skin becomes smoother, firmer, and more radiant, with optimal results achieved through a series of treatments.

Chemical Peel Downtime: What to Expect (Day-by-Day)

Day 1: Skin may feel tight, warm, or mildly red.
Days 2–3: Light dryness or flaking may begin (varies by peel).
Days 3–5: Visible peeling may occur with medium-depth peels (do not pick).
Days 5–7: Skin looks brighter, smoother, and more even-toned.
Week 2+: Continued collagen support and improved tone/texture over time.

Downtime depends on your peel type and your skin. We’ll recommend the best peel based on your goals and schedule.

How to Prepare for Your Chemical Peel

To get the best results and minimize irritation, your provider may recommend:
• Avoiding retinoids, exfoliating acids, and scrubs for 5–7 days before your peel
• Avoiding tanning, sun exposure, and self-tanners prior to treatment
• Arriving with clean skin (no heavy makeup if possible)
• Letting us know if you’ve used Accutane in the past or have a history of cold sores

Chemical Peel Aftercare (Important)

• Use gentle cleanser + moisturizer only for the first several days
• Wear SPF daily and avoid direct sun exposure
• Do not pick, peel, or scrub shedding skin
• Avoid saunas, hot yoga, and intense workouts for 24–48 hours (or as directed)
• Avoid retinoids/exfoliants until cleared by your provider
• Hydrate and keep skin protected while it heals
