Treatment overview

A Custom Chemical Peel uses professional exfoliating ingredients selected to support concerns such as dullness, uneven-looking tone, texture, congestion, post-breakout marks or age-related surface changes. The important word is custom. Different peel types and strengths behave differently, and the most intensive option is not automatically the best option. At Topaz, selection should follow a review of current skin condition, sensitivity, products, medications, recent sun exposure, previous peel experience, and the amount of recovery a client can manage.

The skin is prepared and the chosen peel is applied according to the professional protocol. Sensation and visible response vary with the formula and individual. Neutralization or removal depends on the specific peel.

For context on when a peel may be considered alongside other options, read our sun damage and pigmentation guide.

Is this treatment right for you?

A custom peel may suit clients looking for professional exfoliation with more specificity than an at-home product can provide. It can be considered for selected texture, congestion, or uneven-tone concerns when the skin barrier and history support it. Clients must be willing to follow preparation, sun protection, and aftercare instructions.

Peels are not appropriate for every skin state. Active irritation, infection, open areas, recent tanning, certain medications, pregnancy, recent procedures, and some health histories can change suitability. A consultation is also important when pigmentation has an unclear cause or when a lesion needs medical evaluation.

What you may notice

Depending on the peel, skin may look brighter or smoother after recovery, while congestion or uneven tone may change gradually. Peeling is not the only sign of an effective treatment. Results vary and no specific outcome or session count is promised before assessment.

Recovery and downtime

Recovery depends on the peel depth and intensity selected after assessment. Superficial options can require little visible recovery; deeper options may involve several days of redness, sensitivity, dryness or flaking. Your response can vary, so discuss timing around work, travel and events before treatment.

Tell Topaz about prescriptions, retinoids, acids, recent waxing, procedures, cold sores, sun exposure, and pregnancy. Follow the specific pre-care timeline given for the selected peel. Do not arrive with sunburned, freshly waxed, broken, or actively irritated skin.

Use gentle cleanser and moisturizer, protect the skin from sun, and avoid picking or manually removing flakes. Pause retinoids, acids, scrubs, heat, and other professional treatments for the period provided by your practitioner. Contact the studio if the reaction is stronger or lasts longer than expected.

Frequently asked questions

Not sure which treatment to choose?

Which peel formula will be used?

Your practitioner selects an appropriate professional peel after reviewing your skin, sensitivities and goals.

Will my skin visibly peel?

Not always. Flaking depends on the selected peel and your skin response. More peeling does not automatically mean a better result.

How is this different from Fire & Ice?

Custom Chemical Peel is selected from professional peel options after assessment. Fire & Ice is a named iS Clinical facial.

How long is the appointment?

The current Custom Chemical Peel appointment is 45 minutes. The duration covers the full visit, not the time a peel solution is left on the skin.
