What to Expect
At Deviva Skin Lab, your comfort and safety are our top priorities. Here’s what to expect during your treatment:
Skin Cleansing: Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed to remove any oils or impurities.
Application: The chosen chemical solution (ZO® Skin Health or AlumierMD®) will be carefully applied to the treatment area. You may experience a mild tingling or warm sensation as the solution works to exfoliate your skin.
Procedure Time: The process typically takes 30-45 minutes, depending on the type of peel and the area being treated.
Post-Treatment Care: After the peel is neutralized, a soothing serum or sunscreen will be applied to protect your skin.
Gradual Results: Peeling and flaking may occur in the days following your treatment as your skin renews itself. Results will continue to improve over the next 1-2 weeks, revealing brighter, smoother skin.
How to Prepare
For optimal results, follow these important steps before your appointment:
Consultation: Schedule a personalized consultation with our skincare specialists to assess your skin type, concerns, and goals. We will recommend the most suitable peel—whether from ZO® Skin Health or AlumierMD®—to ensure safe and effective results tailored to your needs.
Avoid Sun Exposure: Protect your skin from excessive sun exposure for at least 2 weeks prior to your peel. Sunburned or tanned skin may not respond well to treatment.
Discontinue Retinol & Actives: Stop using retinol, AHAs, BHAs, or other active skincare products 5-7 days before your appointment. This minimizes skin sensitivity and prepares your skin for the peel.
Stay Hydrated: Keep your skin hydrated by drinking plenty of water and moisturizing regularly. Well-hydrated skin responds better to chemical peels.
Avoid Certain Treatments: Refrain from waxing, laser treatments, or other exfoliating procedures at least 1 week before your chemical peel.
Aftercare
Proper aftercare is essential to achieve the best results from your chemical peel:
Avoid Picking: Do not pick, scratch, or peel any flaking skin. Allow it to shed naturally.
Sun Protection: Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30+) daily and avoid direct sun exposure.
Gentle Skincare: Use mild, non-irritating cleansers and moisturizers. Avoid active ingredients until your provider advises otherwise.
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water and keep your skin moisturized to support healing.
Avoid Heat: Refrain from hot showers, saunas, or strenuous exercise for 48 hours post-treatment.

Common Questions
Can I combine a Chemical Peel with other treatments?
Absolutely! Chemical Peels can be safely combined with other treatments such as Microneedling, Facials, and Laser Therapy to enhance and accelerate results. Combining treatments allows for a more comprehensive approach to addressing skin concerns like acne, texture, and overall skin rejuvenation. Our specialists will create a customized treatment plan to help you achieve your aesthetic goals, ensuring that each procedure complements the other for optimal results.
Are Chemical Peels safe for all skin types?
Yes, at Deviva Skin Lab, we offer Chemical Peels that are safe and effective for all skin types, including sensitive and darker skin tones. During your consultation, our skincare experts will carefully assess your skin and select the most suitable peel formulation to address your concerns while minimizing the risk of irritation. Our customized approach ensures that each treatment is tailored to meet your specific skin needs and deliver the best possible results.
What can I expect after the peel?
After a Chemical Peel, it is normal to experience mild peeling or flaking for 3 to 5 days, as the skin naturally sheds dead cells to reveal a fresher layer underneath. Some clients may also notice temporary redness or tightness, which typically subsides within a few days. Once the peeling process is complete, you’ll enjoy a smoother, brighter, and more even-toned complexion. Proper aftercare, including hydration and sun protection, is essential to ensure the best possible results and to protect the new skin.
Is a Chemical Peel painful?
Chemical Peels are generally well-tolerated, with most clients experiencing a mild tingling, warmth, or slight stinging sensation during the procedure. These sensations are temporary and indicate that the peel is effectively working to exfoliate and renew the skin. The intensity of the experience can vary depending on the strength of the peel and individual skin sensitivity. Our experienced practitioners ensure your comfort throughout the treatment, and a soothing post-peel regimen is recommended to enhance comfort and results.
How many treatments will I need?
While noticeable improvements can be seen after just one peel, achieving optimal results typically requires a series of 3 to 6 treatments, spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart. The number of sessions needed depends on your specific skin concerns, such as acne, pigmentation, or aging signs. A personalized treatment plan will be designed to address your unique skincare goals and maximize long-term benefits. Regular maintenance treatments can help sustain results and keep your skin looking its best over time.
What is a Chemical Peel?
A Chemical Peel is a professional skin treatment that uses a specially formulated solution to exfoliate the outer layer of skin, removing dead cells and stimulating fresh, healthy skin cell turnover. At Deviva Skin Lab, we offer ZO® Skin Health and AlumierMD® peels, which are highly effective in addressing a variety of skin concerns, including dullness, acne, hyperpigmentation, and signs of aging. These peels are customized to suit individual skin types and goals, providing a safe and effective way to achieve a more radiant complexion. With regular treatments, Chemical Peels can help improve skin texture, tone, and overall clarity.
