Chemical Peels

Chemical Peels: A Professional Solution for Scar Revision in Toronto and Richmond Hill

A chemical peel is a solution that is applied over the skin or area of concern. These chemical solutions may vary based on the type of peel you choose to use. Chemical peels help to regenerate new skin as they exfoliate and eventually peel off external layers of the skin. Chemical peels can range from superficial to deep peels penetrating multiple levels beneath the skin's surface.

How the Treatment Works

Chemical peels use specially formulated solutions to exfoliate damaged outer skin layers, revealing smoother, healthier skin beneath — without surgery or long downtime.

The Science Behind Chemical Peels

Chemical peels act through controlled chemical wounding stimulating epidermal regeneration. By initiating a mild inflammatory response and promoting fibroblast activation, peels enhance collagen remodeling and extracellular matrix renewal. This scientific mechanism results in smoother texture, reduced discoloration, and visibly refined scar appearance.

Controlled Depth Exfoliation

Each peel solution (AHA, BHA, TCA, or phenol) penetrates a specific depth to dissolve intercellular bonds and remove photo-damaged layers precisely. Depth control ensures targeted resurfacing while minimizing irritation or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Cellular Regeneration & Collagen Induction

The chemical stimulus activates epidermal turnover and dermal fibroblasts, boosting type I and III collagen synthesis. This process enhances skin firmness, refines pores, and gradually smooths acne and post-inflammatory scars.

Clinically Proven & Safe Approach

With decades of dermatologic research, chemical peels remain a validated resurfacing technique. When performed under medical supervision, they deliver reproducible results, minimal downtime, and excellent safety across multiple skin types.

Refined Results, Scientifically Enhanced

Chemical peels promote gradual resurfacing and cellular renewal without altering your natural appearance. Most patients experience smoother, clearer skin within weeks, with continued improvement as collagen remodeling and regeneration progress over time.

FAQs

Chemical peels are used to improve skin texture, tone, and clarity by exfoliating damaged surface layers. They effectively treat acne scars, fine lines, pigmentation, and dullness.

They target post-acne scars, uneven pigmentation, and rough or sun-damaged skin by stimulating epidermal renewal and collagen production for smoother, more uniform results.

Chemical peels remove the outermost damaged skin layers and trigger fibroblast activity, promoting collagen remodeling that softens scar edges and improves overall texture.

Most patients notice visible improvement in skin smoothness and tone within 7–10 days, with progressive refinement over several sessions as new collagen develops.

Downtime depends on the peel depth—superficial peels may cause mild redness for a day, while medium or deep peels may require short recovery before peeling subsides.

Patients typically feel a mild tingling or warm sensation during the procedure, which subsides quickly. Deeper peels are performed under strict medical supervision for comfort.

Yes, when properly customized. Superficial and medium-depth peels are suitable for most skin tones, while medical evaluation ensures safety for sensitive or darker skin types.

Yes—when properly selected and performed by trained clinicians. We use peel types and strengths suited to Fitzpatrick IV–VI skin and often add a brightening prep and strict SPF to minimize risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

You should postpone if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, have active skin infection/cold sores, open wounds, a recent sunburn, a history of keloids, or had laser/waxing in the area very recently. We’ll review your medical history to confirm candidacy.

Topical retinoids, AHA/BHA, benzoyl peroxide, or exfoliants are usually paused 3–7 days before and after. Oral isotretinoin generally requires a waiting period (often 6 months) before medium/deeper peels. Bring your medication list to your consult.

Superficial peels often cause light flaking or “micro-peeling” for a few days; medium peels can shed more visibly. Keep skin moisturized, don’t pick, and follow our aftercare—peeling resolves as fresh skin appears.

Before: sun exposure, waxing/threading, self-tanners, and active exfoliants/retinoids. After: hot yoga/sauna for 24–48 hours, scrubs or actives until we clear you, and unprotected sun. Use gentle cleanser, hydrating moisturizer, and broad-spectrum SPF daily.

What to Expect During a Chemical Peel Session

During your chemical peel session at Canada Scar Clinic, a skincare specialist will carefully assess your skin type and select the appropriate peel depth and formulation. The solution is applied evenly to the targeted area, allowing controlled exfoliation and renewal of damaged skin layers.

Patients may feel mild tingling or warmth during the procedure, which typically lasts 20–40 minutes depending on the peel type. After treatment, slight redness or flaking can occur as the skin regenerates naturally over the following days.
