What is a 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.
Our customized approach ensures each peel aligns with your unique skin type and goals, delivering targeted results. Whether you’re looking to improve texture, minimize fine lines, or achieve a radiant complexion, the expertise and precision of EVOLV chemical peels can help you achieve healthier, rejuvenated skin.
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 is selected for its penetration depth and desired outcome, allowing for a tailored approach to improving skin texture and appearance.
The treatment involves multiple carefully executed steps to ensure safety and maximize results. It begins with thoroughly cleansing your face to eliminate impurities and prepare your skin for the procedure. Next comes exfoliation to remove surface debris, followed by the application of the chemical peel itself, which varies depending on your skin type and goals. If needed, a neutralizing agent is applied to halt the peel’s activity at the right time. The session concludes with topical treatments or serums designed to accelerate healing and boost regeneration. A variety of acids, such as glycolic, salicylic, or lactic acids, are used, each chosen for its unique penetration depth and specific benefits. This personalized approach allows for precise targeting of your skin concerns, resulting in improved texture, tone, and overall appearance.

Treatment Time
- Treatment time is approximately 30 minutes; During this session, we work carefully to ensure optimal results tailored to your skin’s needs. Our team uses precise techniques to provide a safe and effective treatment experience, making the most of this quick yet impactful procedure.
Recovery Time
- Depending on the strength of the treatment, recovery time could be zero to 5-7 days; For lighter peels, you may be able to resume regular activities immediately. However, stronger peels might require a few days for your skin to heal fully. It's important to follow aftercare instructions closely, as they play a significant role in ensuring a smooth recovery and enhancing the overall results.
Side Effects
- Possible flakiness, peeling and red skin; These side effects are normal and temporary, signaling that your skin is shedding old layers to reveal a fresh, rejuvenated complexion.

Anesthetic Type

Skin prep is necessary for deeper peels; This preparation is essential to ensure your skin is clean and prepped for optimal absorption of the products used in subsequent steps. A gentle cleanse also reduces the risk of any irritation, setting the foundation for a safe and effective peel.

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. This preparation is essential to ensure your skin is clean and prepped for optimal absorption of the products used in subsequent steps. A gentle cleanse also reduces the risk of any irritation, setting the foundation for a safe and effective peel.
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.
Exfoliation not only helps prepare your skin for the peel but also allows for better penetration of the active ingredients in the peel solution. By removing the outer layer of dead skin, we ensure that the treatment reaches the deeper layers, resulting in a more noticeable and long-lasting improvement.
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. Neutralizing helps restore balance to your skin, minimizing any irritation or discomfort. For peels that are self-neutralizing, our team carefully guides you on how to complete this step at home, ensuring you achieve the best results.
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. These topical solutions are carefully selected to match your skin’s unique needs, maximizing the benefits of the chemical peel. Over time, you’ll notice improved texture, reduced fine lines, and a hydrated, youthful glow.
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.
We provide all the guidance you need to protect your skin and promote optimal healing. This includes recommendations like wearing high-quality sunscreen to shield your skin from harmful UV rays and using calming moisturizers to support the healing process. With detailed aftercare instructions tailored to your specific treatment, we ensure that your skin gets the care it needs to achieve exceptional results.

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.
