Chemical Peels In Calgary
In-office epidermal peels are a non-invasive way to immediately refresh and brighten the skin with no downtime. Blends of peeling agents such as alpha-hydroxy acids, anti-oxidants, and exfoliating ingredients safely remove superficial cell layers. Once the superficial cells have sloughed off, a fresher, brighter and smoother complexion is revealed. A series of 4 to 6 peels done every 4-6 weeks, stimulates cell renewal while helping to minimize fine lines and wrinkles, repairing photodamage, hyperpigmentation, and superficial acne scarring.
Chemical peels are typically applied to the face, and sometimes, depending on the concern, can be done on the neck, back, and chest.
If you are looking to refresh the look of your skin, then a chemical peel may be the perfect way to do it. Book a consultation with us today to get started!
V Carbon Anti-aging Peel
Known as the “Hollywood Peel”, the activated carbon, alpha hydroxy acids and antioxidant blend gives an effective exfoliation with noticeable brightening and tightening. We recommend to do a V Carbon Peel every 4-6 weeks or before a special event.
V Carbon is a modular system made up of V Carbon Film and V Carbon Spray, that allows for a mild, moderate or deep exfoliation treatment, with a brightening and tightening effect.
Alpha hydroxy acids are natural exfoliating agents with manageable regenerating and brightening qualities:
- Ferulic Acid
- Mandelic Acid
- Lactic Acid
Antioxidants with anti-aging and brightening benefits:
- Black Ginger Extract
- Liquorice Extract
Carbon provides detoxifying and purifying properties
V Carbon Spray regulates the depth of the treatment by blocking the action of the V Carbon Film, while at the same time gives an immediate lifting effect thanks to the presence of specific micronized hexapeptides.

Skincare recommendations with Chemical Peels
Are There Different Kinds of Peels?
Yes! There are quite a few different types of chemical peels, differentiated by their active ingredients and strength. From milder gentle enzymes to alpha-hydroxy acids to stronger Jessner’s peels, chemical peel ingredients differ, depending on the degree of peeling you want to achieve.
Types of Peels
Mild to moderate peels may be a combination of naturally-occurring acids like lactic and glycolic acid. They may also be mixed with other active ingredients that help to exfoliate, hydrate or brighten the skin. Stronger peels with ingredients such as salicylic or retinoic acid result in a more robust peel, but they must be applied with more care and attention to skin type and skin issues to avoid unexpected results such as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH). Downtime and recovery time such as redness, peeling, dryness, and tenderness, is longer with a more assertive peel. A mild peel may have a minimal recovery, but may still provide a fresh glow to the skin.
They are used for uneven superficial pigmentation, some types of acne, fine lines, dry skin, and rough texture.
