What it is

A gentle, professional peel designed for real-world schedules.

A Micro-Peel is a light, superficial chemical exfoliation that helps lift away dull surface buildup to improve texture, clarity, and tone. It’s designed to be effective, controlled, and customizable — without the “big peel” experience.

Most patients choose Micro-Peels as a series because results build gradually over time. Your provider selects the most appropriate approach for your skin goals and comfort level within our physician-led practice.

You may notice mild dryness or light flaking depending on your skin and the peel selected, but most people return to normal activities right away.

At Lakes Dermatology, Micro-Peels are performed using professional formulations from SkinCeuticals — a brand trusted by dermatologists for their science-backed approach to skin health.

What to expect

Frequently Asked Questions — Micro-Peel

Clear answers about light chemical peels, downtime, timing, and preparation.

A true light chemical peel is superficial, affecting the top layer of skin within the epidermis. Strength depends on factors such as the acid used, concentration, solvent, application method, and skin preparation.
Results typically last about 1–2 months. A consistent series and proper pre- and post-peel care can help extend and compound results.
Mild peeling may occur 2–3 days after treatment and usually resolves within 1–7 days. Not all Micro-Peels produce visible peeling, and improvement can still occur without it.
Tingling, stinging, or warmth is common and varies by peel type and individual sensitivity. Cooling measures are often used to improve comfort.
Light chemical peels are generally safe for most people when performed by experienced professionals, as they affect only the superficial layer of skin.
Depending on the peel and your skin’s response, makeup may be worn soon after treatment. Some patients prefer to avoid makeup briefly to reduce flaking.
True superficial peels are commonly performed every 4–6 weeks. Your provider will recommend the appropriate frequency based on your skin goals.
Limiting sun exposure and pausing retinoids or exfoliating acids 2–5 days prior can help reduce irritation. Your provider will give personalized guidance.
