Four peel types on our menu, from gentle lactic resurfacing to deeper peptide renewal. Your esthetician picks the strength based on your skin and what you want to change.
Pick a peel
Four peels. One that fits.
Compare the four peels we offer and what each one is best for. If you're not sure which fits, your esthetician will match it during your visit.
MOST POPULAR
Lactic Acid Peel
$130per session
The gentlest peel on our menu. Lactic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid that exfoliates while also acting as a humectant, so it hydrates as it works. A good starting point for first-time peel clients and for dry, dehydrated, or sensitive skin.
Best for:
- • Resurfaces and adds hydration in one step
- • Helps fade superficial pigmentation over a series
- • Smooths texture without disrupting the skin barrier
- • Minimal flaking, no real social downtime
MangoBrite Peel
$130per session
DermaQuest's MangoBrite Resurfacer pairs 30% lactic acid with mango fruit pulp, kojic acid, phytic acid, and vitamin C. Built specifically for hyperpigmentation, melasma, and uneven tone. Suitable for all Fitzpatrick skin types except sensitive or reactive skin.
Best for:
- • Targets melanin overproduction with kojic and phytic acid
- • 30% lactic acid resurfaces the surface layer
- • Redness clears within 24 hours; light flaking days 3 to 6
- • Best results over a series of 6 sessions
Pumpkin Peel
$130per session
A pumpkin enzyme peel blended with lactic acid. The enzymes break down dead skin cell bonds while the acid resurfaces, targeting oily, acne-prone, and congested skin. Light flaking is normal for the next 3 to 4 days.
Best for:
- • Loosens surface buildup and unclogs pores
- • Reduces active breakouts over a series
- • Smooths uneven texture
- • Adds vitamin A and C antioxidants from pumpkin
STRONGEST PEEL
Power Peptide Peel
$130per session
DermaQuest's Power Peptide Resurfacer combines a 40% glycolic and lactic acid blend with a 9% peptide complex (Matrixyl, Rigin) and grape stem cell extract. The peptides signal collagen and elastin renewal while the acids resurface. Not suitable for sensitive or reactive skin.
Best for:
- • 40% AHA blend (glycolic + lactic) for professional resurfacing
- • 9% peptide complex signals collagen and elastin renewal
- • Grape stem cell extract helps reduce post-treatment redness
- • Mild redness and possible light flaking, resolves in 1 to 2 days

What peels address
Concerns chemical peels commonly help with
Results vary by skin type, concern, and how many sessions you do. Below is what each concern typically responds to over a series.
01
Hyperpigmentation
Helps fade sun spots, post-acne marks, and uneven tone over a series.
MangoBrite or Lactic
02
Acne and congested pores
Reduces active breakouts and unclogs pores by exfoliating the top layer of skin.
Pumpkin Peel
03
Fine lines and firmness
Supports collagen renewal so the look of fine lines and texture softens over time.
Power Peptide
04
Rough or uneven texture
Removes built-up dead skin and smooths the surface, helpful for dullness and rough patches.
Pumpkin or Power Peptide
05
Melasma and dark spots
Brightening ingredients target melanin overproduction. Best done as a series of 4 to 6.
MangoBrite Peel
06
Dryness and dullness
Adds hydration back while gently exfoliating. A good entry for sensitive skin.
Lactic Peel

Common first-timer questions
Does it hurt?
Most clients feel a warm tingle that fades within a minute. Stronger peels feel more intense and may have a brief stinging sensation. Your esthetician checks in throughout and can stop early if needed.
How much downtime should I plan for?
The Lactic peel has no real social downtime. The MangoBrite peel can cause light flaking on days 3 to 6. The Pumpkin peel causes light flaking for 3 to 4 days. The Power Peptide peel is the most intensive on the menu, with mild redness and possible light flaking that resolves in 1 to 2 days. Your esthetician will set expectations based on the peel you book.
Which peel matches my concern?
First peel or dry/dehydrated skin: Lactic. Active acne, oily skin, or congested pores: Pumpkin. Melasma, dark spots, or uneven tone: MangoBrite. Fine lines, loss of firmness, or pre-event prep: Power Peptide. If your skin is sensitive or reactive, MangoBrite and Power Peptide are not recommended. If you're unsure, book a consultation and we'll match it during your visit.
When can I wear makeup again?
Wait 24 hours after the gentler peels (Lactic, MangoBrite) and 48 hours after the stronger ones (Pumpkin, Power Peptide). Mineral makeup is the kindest option for the first few days. You'll leave with a written aftercare summary.
Are chemical peels safe for my skin type?
We match the peel to your skin. Lactic is the gentlest and suits most skin types including dry, dehydrated, or sensitive skin. MangoBrite and Power Peptide are stronger formulations and are not recommended for sensitive or reactive skin. If you have eczema, active rosacea, recent isotretinoin (Accutane) use within the last 6 months, open wounds, or known sensitivity to peel ingredients, call ahead so we can advise on alternatives.
Timeline
What to expect over a series
Chemical peels build on themselves. Here is a realistic guide to what clients commonly see at each stage. Your specific timeline depends on the peel, your skin, and how consistently you follow aftercare.
Step 1
3 to 7 days after your first session
Initial renewal
The skin sheds its top layer and reveals brighter, smoother surface texture underneath.
- Light flaking is normal with stronger peels
- A brighter, more refreshed look emerges
- Surface roughness softens
Step 2
After 4 sessions, around 2 months in
Visible progress
A series of peels compounds. Most clients see meaningful change on the concerns they came in for.
- Pigmentation and post-acne marks fade gradually
- Active breakouts settle (Pumpkin peel users)
- Fine lines and texture continue to improve
Step 3
Maintenance, every 2 to 3 months
Holding the result
Once you reach your target, peels space out to a maintenance cadence to preserve the result.
- One peel every 2 to 3 months for most clients
- Pair with daily SPF and a basic at-home routine
- Your esthetician adjusts the peel as your skin changes
