A Fresh Start for Your Complexion

Chemical Peel Treatments in Mission Viejo CA

If smooth, radiant skin is your goal, regular exfoliation to remove build-up on the surface is a great starting point. Chemical peels can improve the tone and texture of your skin and reverse signs of aging. That’s why chemical peels are the secret to youthful, glowing skin.

Chemical peel treatments deliver beautiful benefits by improving the tone, texture, and firmness of the skin. Today’s chemical peels are gentler and more refined than before, so it’s not surprising that peels are now in high demand. Chemical peels are affordable, low-risk, and suitable for all skin types and tones. We proudly offer Cosmelan® and VI Peel®—two trusted options for achieving smoother, healthier skin. Our experienced team tailors every chemical peel to your unique needs, ensuring optimal results for your skin type and goals.

How Chemical Peels Work

Using a carefully formulated chemical solution, chemical peels renew and refresh the skin by exfoliating dead skin cells and oil that clog the surface and create a dull, uneven complexion. This topmost layer of skin dries up a few days after treatment and eventually peels off. Chemical peels stimulate new, healthy replacement cells that give the skin a smooth, radiant appearance. They also increase collagen production.

At soul&beautyMEDx, we are pleased to offer two distinctive peels for your skincare needs, Cosmelan and VI Peel.

Cosmelan®

The Cosmelan by mesoestetic® is a depigmentation peel that targets age spots, melasma, freckles, and other types of pigmentation. It also improves the tone, texture, and brightness of the skin. Cosmelan is an intense peel that is suitable for all skin types.

Cosmelan reduces and controls dark spots that develop due to the overproduction of melanin brought on by factors such as excess sun exposure, hormonal changes, and aging.

Cosmelan diminishes the appearance of existing spots by accelerating cell turnover and inhibits the formation of new ones by regulating the action of melanocytes, the cells that produce melanin.

VI Peel®

The VI Peel improves skin tone and texture and addresses fine lines, wrinkles, acne, and acne scarring. The VI Peel is a medium-depth peel that is safe for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Results can be seen within 7 days of treatment.

Active ingredients in the VI Peel include salicylic acid, trichloroacetic acid (TCA), retinoic acid, vitamin C, and minerals. The proprietary blend provides excellent skin rejuvenating benefits and helps prevent further skin damage.

VI Peel has an original formulation and custom combinations that provide specialized treatment for acne and acne scarring, oily, congested skin, aging skin, and hyperpigmentation.

Formulated for Your Skin’s Unique Needs

What is the chemical peel procedure like?

Your chemical peel experience at soul&beautyMEDx begins with a consultation to determine the best treatment for your skin type and concerns. During the procedure, your provider cleanses your skin and applies the chemical solution to the treatment area. The solution exfoliates the outer layers of skin, promoting the removal of damaged skin cells and encouraging new skin growth.

Light chemical peels may produce a mild tingling sensation, while deeper chemical peels may require a topical anesthetic for comfort. The entire process typically takes 30–40 minutes. Afterward, you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to support the healing process.

Precision Renewal with Dramatic Results

What are the benefits of chemical peels?

Chemical peels provide comprehensive skin benefits for those seeking to improve their skin’s appearance and texture. They remove damaged skin cells, reduce discoloration, and smooth fine lines and wrinkles, revealing a fresh, youthful glow. These treatments are highly customizable, with options ranging from light peels with minimal downtime to deeper chemical peels for more dramatic results. By turning over damaged skin cells, chemical peels also stimulate collagen production, which enhances skin elasticity and firmness over time.

At soul&beautyMEDx, our advanced peels, including Cosmelan and VI Peel, deliver noticeable improvements in skin tone, clarity, and overall health, helping you feel more confident in your skin.

Cellular Renewal in Action

Chemical Peels Recovery

After a Cosmelan Peel, you can expect some redness, flaking, and peeling as your skin adjusts to the treatment. This process typically lasts 3–7 days. During this time, it’s important to follow the aftercare protocol provided by your aesthetic specialist at soul&beautyMEDx, which may include applying a soothing cream and avoiding harsh skincare products.

Recovery from a VI Peel involves a similar peeling process that usually starts 2–3 days post-treatment and lasts up to a week. Initially, your skin may appear red or feel tight, followed by visible peeling, which is most prominent around days 3–5. You may use the post-peel kit provided during your treatment to soothe the skin and support the healing process.

Your aesthetic specialist will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results. It’s important not to pick at the skin during the peeling process, avoid sun exposure, and use gentle, hydrating products.

Glow Like Never Before

What results will I see?

Chemical peels make the skin look brighter and more youthful over time, and the rapid cell regeneration and increase in collagen refreshes and firms the skin. Lighter peels provide subtle, immediate improvements, while deeper chemical peels deliver more dramatic, long-lasting results. With proper care, the effects of a chemical peel can last several months. Regular maintenance treatments help sustain your refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.
