Whether you’re preparing for a big event or just want to give your skin a fresh start, chemical peels are a powerful, non-invasive option.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about chemical peels in New Braunfels, including what they are, how they work, their benefits, types of peels, what to expect during treatment, and why Skin Deep NB is the best place to go.
What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a dermatological exfoliation treatment that uses a solution of acids to gently remove the outermost layer of dead, damaged skin. This encourages new, healthier skin cells to emerge, resulting in a brighter, smoother, and more youthful appearance.
Chemical peels can be used to treat:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Hyperpigmentation and sunspots
- Uneven skin texture
- Acne and acne scars
- Enlarged pores
- Dull or dry skin
Depending on the depth of the peel—superficial, medium, or deep—results can range from a simple skin refresh to dramatic skin resurfacing.
Types of Chemical Peels Offered at Skin Deep NB
At Skin Deep NB in New Braunfels, we offer a variety of medical-grade peels tailored to your skin type, concerns, and goals. Our most popular options include:
1. Light (Superficial) Peels
These use alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) like glycolic acid or lactic acid to exfoliate the top layer of skin. Perfect for:
- Mild discoloration
- Rough skin
- Early signs of aging
- First-time peel clients
2. Medium Peels
These use trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to reach the middle layers of the skin, targeting deeper lines and moderate skin discoloration. Great for:
- Acne scars
- Age spots
- Moderate wrinkles
3. Deep Peels
These are highly effective treatments using stronger agents like phenol. They target severe wrinkles, deep scars, or extensive sun damage. Because these require longer recovery, they are typically a one-time treatment.
4. Customized Blended Peels
We also offer customized chemical peels, blending different acids and boosters to suit your exact skin needs. This personalized approach delivers more targeted results with less downtime.
Benefits of Chemical Peels
Chemical peels aren’t just about exfoliation—they’re a complete skin transformation solution. Benefits include:
- Improved Skin Texture: Smoother, softer skin after just one session.
- Brighter Complexion: Say goodbye to dullness and hello to radiance.
- Even Skin Tone: Peels target pigmentation, sunspots, and redness.
- Acne Control: Helps reduce acne breakouts and fade post-acne scars.
- Reduced Wrinkles: Stimulates collagen for firmer, youthful-looking skin.
- Boosted Skincare Absorption: Clears dead cells so your serums work better.
What to Expect: Chemical Peel Treatment Process
Step 1: Personalized Consultation
At Skin Deep NB, every chemical peel begins with a detailed consultation. Dr. Cory Preuss, MSN, FNP-C, evaluates your skin and discusses your goals to recommend the perfect peel.
Step 2: Skin Prep
Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed, and in some cases, a pre-peel prep (like retinol or glycolic acid use) may be recommended a few days before.
Step 3: Application of the Peel
The chemical solution is applied evenly across your skin. You may feel a mild tingling or warming sensation, which is completely normal.
Step 4: Neutralization and Post-Care
After the required time, the peel is neutralized, and calming products are applied. You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions tailored to the type of peel you received.
Recovery Time:
- Light Peels: Little to no downtime. You may experience mild redness.
- Medium Peels: 5–7 days of peeling and skin shedding.
- Deep Peels: Up to 2 weeks of recovery, with visible peeling and sensitivity.
Is Chemical Peel Right for You?
Chemical peels are suitable for most skin types, but they are especially beneficial for:
- Adults with sun damage or aging skin
- Individuals struggling with acne or post-acne scarring
- Those wanting to even out skin tone or smooth texture
Note: If you have very sensitive skin, active infections, or are currently using certain medications (like Accutane), peels may not be advisable. That’s why a consultation is crucial.
Post-Peel Skincare Tips

- Do not pick or peel flaking skin
- Use gentle cleansers and moisturizers
