The Treatment
The Science of Controlled Renewal
True skin transformation requires the strategic removal of compromised surface cells to signal deeper regenerative action. The Custom Peel at Essence Medspa is a physician-directed exfoliation ritual that utilizes specific acid profiles—ranging from Lactic and Salicylic to advanced Glycolic blends—to dissolve the intercellular "glue" that holds dull, damaged skin in place. By customizing the pH and concentration, we trigger a biological reset that accelerates cellular turnover, flushes out congestion, and unveils a more resilient, luminous dermal layer.
This experience is ideal for face, neck, and decollete. Your provider will refine the exact sequence, timing, and aftercare based on your skin, goals, and comfort level.
- Textural Refinement Dramatically smooths "orange-peel" texture, fine lines, and post-acne scarring.
- Pigment Correction: Targets sun damage and melasma at the source for a more uniform, filtered complexion
- Pore Decongestion Deeply purifies the follicular lining to reduce breakouts and minimize the appearance of pores.

The Four-Phase Ritual
02
Prepare
The skin is thoroughly degreased and "prepped" with a priming solution to ensure the peel penetrates evenly across the entire treatment zone.
03
Treat
The custom peel solution is applied in precise layers. You may feel a brief, active tingling—a sign of the biological "activation" in progress.
04
Restore
The peel is neutralized (if required) and the skin is flooded with calming lipids, botanical antioxidants, and a physical SPF shield.
Frequently Asked Questions
Good Questions, Clear Answers
Every facial protocol is refined around your skin on the day of your visit. These treatment-specific notes come directly from the facial guide for this service.
Will my skin actually "peel" off?
"Peeling" is a side effect, not the goal. While some clients experience light flaking or "sheeting" 3-5 days after a Custom Peel, many experience only a subtle, invisible exfoliation. The clinical result—brighter, smoother skin—happens regardless of how much visible peeling occurs.
How do I prepare my skin for a peel?
We recommend that clients discontinue the use of Retin-A, high-percentage Retinols, or exfoliating acids 3-5 days prior to their appointment. Avoid direct sun exposure and ensure your skin is well-hydrated.
Is this safe for darker skin tones?
Absolutely. At Essence, we are experts in melanin-rich skin. We utilize "Self-Neutralizing" or "Buffer-Infused" peels specifically designed to treat hyperpigmentation in darker skin tones without the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
Can I go to the gym after my treatment?
We advise clients to avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, or excessive heat for 24-48 hours post-peel. Increased internal body heat can cause irritation or pigment complications while the skin is in its "renewal" phase.
How many peels do I need to see results?
You will see a "clinical glow" after just one session. However, for significant correction of texture or deep pigmentation, we recommend a series of 3 to 6 peels, spaced 4 weeks apart.
