Exfoliate Damaged Skin and Reveal New, Healthy Skin
Chemical peels in Charlotte are skin care treatments that improve the skin’s tone and texture. They treat fine lines, wrinkles, acne, and dark spots by gently or aggressively exfoliating the skin, depending on your needs. This chemical exfoliation causes the outer layers of skin to peel and flake away, revealing new, healthy skin beneath. Our bodies’ natural cell turnover process allows the skin to shed dead cells and bring new, fresh skin to the surface, free of signs of aging, sun damage, dirt, and debris. Chemical peels simply speed up this process, resulting in glowing skin.
Chemical Peels Treat:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne and acne scars
- Hyperpigmentation and dark spots
- Sun damage and uneven skin tone
- Rough texture and dull complexion
- Enlarged pores
- Melasma
- Age spots and freckles
- Mild scarring
- Pre-cancerous growths (actinic keratosis)
Charlotte Chemical Peel Options
At Evolve, we offer a variety of chemical peel skin treatments, including peels for acne and other specific skin concerns.
SkinMedica® Illuminize Peel®
As a light peel to address superficial skin concerns, the SkinMedica Illuminize Peel is the perfect choice for those looking to refresh their complexion. This chemical peel in Charlotte is designed to address superficial skin concerns, providing a subtle yet noticeable improvement in your skin’s tone and texture. It’s ideal for first-time peel patients or anyone seeking a quick glow without downtime.
SkinMedica® Vitalize Peel®
As a medium-depth peel for slightly deeper skin concerns, the SkinMedica Vitalize Peel offers a more intensive treatment. This medium-depth peel targets issues like fine lines, wrinkles, and moderate skin discoloration. It’s an excellent option for patients looking to rejuvenate their skin with noticeable results after just one treatment.
VI Peel
As an aggressive peel to address the deepest skin concerns, the VI Peel is ideal for individuals with significant sun damage, deep wrinkles, acne scars, and other stubborn skin issues.

Benefits of Chemical Peels:
- Improves skin texture and tone
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
- Treats acne and diminishes acne scars
- Lightens hyperpigmentation and dark spots

Enhance Your Chemical Peel Results With PRP
For an even more rejuvenating experience, consider adding PRP (platelet-rich plasma) to your chemical peel treatment. PRP uses growth factors from your own blood to stimulate collagen production and accelerate healing, enhancing the effects of the peel.
This powerful combination helps reduce recovery time, boost cell regeneration, and amplify improvements in skin tone and texture. With the PRP add-on, you can achieve a more youthful, radiant complexion and longer-lasting results from your chemical peel.

Chemical Peels FAQs
Do Chemical Peels Hurt?
Most patients who decide to have chemical peels in Charlotte experience only slight irritation, but the more aggressive the peel, the more discomfort you may feel. You may experience mild burning or stinging during the treatment itself, but this sensation is only temporary.
Is There Downtime Associated With Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are easy to work into a busy lifestyle; you can undergo a chemical peel on your lunch hour and return to work right after! There is really no downtime with chemical peels — you’ll leave Evolve with a healthy glow and be able to carry on with your day.
However, you should avoid any activities that cause sweating for at least 48 hours after treatment. Your skin may also be shiny and show signs of redness at first, but these effects wear off within the first twelve hours after your chemical peel.
What if My Skin Doesn’t Peel?
You won’t necessarily experience visible peeling, but that doesn’t mean your treatment was ineffective. Everyone experiences different levels of peeling, depending on skin type, resilience, type of peel, and number of layers applied. Some experience “sheeting” or “flaking,” where large or small pieces of the skin peel off, but it’s similar to dry winter skin or peeling after a sunburn.
If your skin doesn’t peel after your chemical peel in Charlotte, that means you’re still exfoliating. In this case, the exfoliation is happening on a cellular level that can’t be seen by the naked eye. Typically, the deeper peel you receive, the more extensive peeling you will experience.
Do Chemical Peels Require Aftercare?
After your chemical peel, there are steps you should take to ensure that your results are maximized. We’ll send you home with your personalized post-procedure regimen designed to keep redness and peeling to a minimum. In addition, for two days after your procedure, we ask that you avoid:
- Applying ice or water to the treated areas
- Direct hot shower sprays, Jacuzzis, steam rooms, and saunas
- Swimming and excessive sweating
- Any kind of mechanical exfoliation devices
- Direct heat from a hair dryer
We also ask that you discontinue the use of Retin-A®/Renova® or Differin® for seven days after treatment. We do not recommend peels if you are pregnant, nursing, or using a separate treatment like Accutane®, but we have other treatments available to meet your needs.
When Will I Start “Peeling”?
Every person’s experience will be different, but on average, you will begin to see flaking two to three days after treatment. It is possible to see flaking for as many as five or six days.
When Can I Wear Makeup/Sunscreen/
Moisturizer?
After your chemical peel in Charlotte, please do not apply any medications to your face besides those recommended by our Evolve experts in your treatment plan. It is ideal to let your skin stabilize overnight, but mineral makeup can be applied the following day if absolutely necessary.
We also ask that you avoid direct sun exposure and excessive heat directly following treatment, but after that, always wear sunscreen and be sure not to pick or pull at any loosening or exfoliating skin — this could potentially cause side effects like hyperpigmentation.
When Will I See the Results?
Depending on the depth of your peel, it may take a few weeks for you to see results, and several treatments may be needed until you achieve your optimal outcome. When you come to Evolve for your consultation, we’ll be able to determine how many treatments you will need, the type and depth of each peel, and how often you’ll need treatment to reach your skincare goals.
