What is Chemical Peel?
Chemical peels are skincare treatments designed to improve skin health by removing the outer layers and encouraging the growth of new cells. They are effective for reducing signs of aging, treating acne, repairing sun damage, and correcting skin discoloration. In Toledo, EVOLV chemical peels use a potent combination of chemical exfoliants and multi-action agents to address various skin concerns. These treatments can enhance surgical and non-surgical procedures and improve the efficacy of your at-home skincare routine by allowing better absorption of products.
How It Works
Chemical peels rejuvenate your skin by applying a specialized chemical solution to your face or neck. This solution targets the outer layer of skin affected by dullness, aging, acne, or other imperfections. When applied, it causes the damaged skin to peel away, revealing new, smoother, and more vibrant skin beneath. The treatment involves multiple steps, including cleansing, exfoliating, applying the peel, neutralizing if necessary, and ending with topical treatments to promote healing and regeneration. Various acids are used, and each selected for their penetration depth and desired outcome, allowing for a tailored approach to improving skin texture and appearance.

For those who seek treatments with minimal downtime, superficial peels can improve skin tone, texture, and brightness without causing visible peeling.

How Chemical Peels Works
Step 01.
A ZO cleanser tailored to your skin type will eliminate makeup and impurities without affecting the moisture barrier. We gently massage the cleanser onto your skin and rinse it with warm water and towels.
Step 02.
We start by gently exfoliating your skin with a method tailored to your skin type. This process removes dead skin cells, revealing cleaner, smoother skin, which enhances product absorption in the subsequent steps. Next, we apply the chosen peel solution to your entire face, or the specific area being treated. The peel is applied in layers, typically 2-3 passes, based on the desired improvement and your tolerance level. You may experience a tingling sensation or some stinging, especially with deeper peels.
Step 03.
Certain peels are neutralized in the office, restoring the skin’s natural PH. Once the peel is fully neutralized and removed, we proceed to the next step. Not all chemical peels are neutralized in the office; we will provide instructions for gently washing your skin that evening or the following morning.
Step 04.
Topical treatments will then be applied to your skin to enhance collagen production and promote cellular regeneration. Additionally, these treatments soothe any irritation or redness, help restore the skin’s natural moisture, and improve its barrier function.
Step 05.
We give detailed instructions and any necessary at-home care after your chemical peel in Toledo. Some peels may require extra care in the days leading up to your treatment due to their longer downtime, while others allow you to resume your normal activities.

Before & After
What to Add
Paired Treatments
When looking to enhance the results of a chemical peel, combining it with treatments like HALO laser and Dermaplaning can be highly effective. The HALO laser targets the surface and deeper layers of the skin, promoting collagen production and improving overall skin texture. This synergizes well with a chemical peel, which exfoliates the outermost layer, allowing for better penetration and effectiveness of the laser treatment. Additionally, incorporating Dermaplaning—a technique that gently removes dead skin cells and fine vellus hair—ensures a smoother canvas for the peel, enhancing its absorption and overall impact. Together, these treatments can provide more comprehensive skin rejuvenation, leaving a radiant, youthful glow.
What makes Chemical Peels different from Similar procedures?
Chemical peels are unique among skin rejuvenation treatments, using specialized chemical solutions to meticulously remove the outermost layer of skin, revealing a more radiant layer beneath. Unlike traditional facials, which focus on cleansing pores, extracting impurities like blackheads, and hydrating the skin with serums, chemical peels offer a deeper exfoliation for a more noticeable renewal of the skin’s appearance.
Microdermabrasion, on the other hand, uses mechanical exfoliation through a device with a diamond tip or fine crystals to buff away dead skin cells and is generally milder than chemical peels. Chemical peels can be tailored in strength—from gentle to robust—to address concerns like fine lines, acne, hyperpigmentation, and uneven texture.
Chemical peels refresh the skin’s surface and stimulate natural healing by accelerating cell turnover.
