Personalized Chemical Peels in Southampton, Ontario

During a chemical peel, a trained skincare professional applies a selected formula to the skin. The ingredients work at a controlled depth to exfoliate surface cells and support the skin renewal process. The peel may be followed by customized brightening, antioxidant, or anti-aging products.

AlumierMD chemical peels are made from a blend of medical-grade exfoliating acids, fruit enzymes, and soothing botanical ingredients, chosen to target specific skin concerns.

The main active ingredients in AlumierMD peels include:

• Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs): Lactic acid (gentle, hydrating exfoliation) and glycolic acid (surface renewal) loosen dead skin cells. Some formulations, such as Radiant TXA, also include 1.95% tranexamic acid to help with discoloration.
• Beta hydroxy acids (BHAs): Salicylic acid penetrates oil glands to help clear congested pores and address acne-prone or oily skin.
• Resorcinol: A peeling agent combined with lactic and salicylic acids in stronger treatments like the Glow Peel, to help address hyperpigmentation and signs of aging.
• Fruit enzymes: Enzymes from pineapple and papaya break down the keratin protein in dead skin cells without a harsh drop in pH. They are used in enzyme retexturing treatments.
• Brightening and calming boosters: Ingredients such as white shiitake mushroom (for radiance), eucalyptus (for astringent and acne benefits), and retinol or retinyl boosters are added depending on the peel type.

Because skin responds differently to exfoliation, treatments are introduced gradually. Your provider may recommend pre-treatment skincare to prepare your skin and post-treatment products to soothe, protect, and maintain your results.

Chemical peel for hyperpigmentation and dark spots

A personalized peel may help improve the appearance of uneven pigmentation, dark spots, and sun-related discolouration. It is not a guaranteed cure for melasma or pigmentation, and a complete plan may include daily sun protection and medical-grade skincare.

Chemical peel for sun damage

Summer sun exposure can leave skin looking rough, dull, or uneven. A chemical peel may help exfoliate damaged surface cells and improve the appearance of texture and tone.

Chemical peel for acne-prone skin

Selected peel ingredients may help address excess oil, congestion, and the appearance of breakouts. The appropriate formula depends on your skin condition, sensitivity, current skincare, and medical history.

Chemical peel for fine lines and wrinkles

Chemical peels may help soften the appearance of fine lines and improve surface smoothness. Deeper wrinkles may need a different treatment or a combination plan.

Chemical peel for dull or rough skin

A peel can help remove accumulated dead surface cells, supporting a smoother, brighter, more refreshed appearance.

Allure Medical Aesthetics offers AlumierMD professional peels selected around your skin profile and treatment goals. Depending on your assessment and product availability, your provider may discuss options such as:

• AlumierMD Glow Peel for a brighter, refreshed appearance.
• AlumierMD Radiant 30 Peel for targeted skin rejuvenation.
• AlumierMD BHA or AHA-based options for selected concerns such as congestion, uneven texture, or dullness.
• Enzyme or customized peel options when a gentler approach is more appropriate.

Not every peel is suitable for every person. The product, strength, number of layers, and treatment schedule are selected by your skincare professional.

Chemical peels are commonly grouped by how deeply they penetrate the skin:

• Light or superficial peels work primarily through the outer epidermal layers and generally involve less downtime.
• Medium-depth peels reach deeper into the skin and may create more visible peeling or recovery time.
• Deep peels involve greater downtime and a higher risk of complications, so they are not appropriate for every cosmetic concern.

At Allure, we emphasize controlled, progressive treatment. Your provider will recommend the appropriate depth based on your skin condition, goals, and tolerance.

AlumierMD chemical peel treatments may involve minimal to no downtime, but every skin response is different. You may experience temporary redness, tightness, dryness, flaking, or localized peeling. Light to moderate flaking may occur for approximately 3-7 days in localized areas, although some clients may not peel at all. Do not pick or pull at peeling skin. Follow your provider's instructions for cleansing, moisturizing, sun protection, and product use during recovery.

After your treatment:

• Use only the products recommended by your provider.
• Protect your skin from sun exposure and use broad-spectrum sunscreen as directed.
• Avoid picking, scrubbing, or manually removing flaking skin.
• Pause retinol, exfoliating acids, and other active products until your provider says they can be resumed.
• Avoid treatments that may irritate the skin during the recovery period.

Your exact aftercare depends on the peel formula and your skin’s response. Contact the clinic if you have a reaction that concerns you.

Neither treatment is automatically better. A consultation helps determine whether a chemical peel, microneedling, another option, or a combined plan is appropriate.

How often should you get a chemical peel?

The timing depends on your skin type, treatment strength, concern, and recovery. Some clients may benefit from a series of progressive treatments, followed by seasonal maintenance. Your provider will recommend a schedule after assessing your skin and reviewing your current skincare routine.

Can I use retinol after a chemical peel?

You should generally wait 7 to 14 days before restarting retinol after an AlumierMD chemical peel, depending on the peel strength and how your skin is healing.

Recommended timeline

• Standard or lighter peels: Wait at least 7 days, or until all flaking, redness, and sensitivity have stopped.
• Stronger peels (such as the AlumierMD Glow Peel): Wait a full 14 days before reintroducing retinoic acid, AHAs, or BHAs.

How to restart retinol

• Check that your skin is ready: It should be free of redness, heat, flaking, tightness, and stinging.
• Go slowly: Do not return to nightly use right away. Apply retinol once every 2 to 3 nights during the first week back.
• Protect your skin: Use gentle, hydrating barrier-support products and wear a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every day.
• Check with your provider: Follow the post-care sheet from your AlumierMD professional, since they know the exact acid blend and depth used in your treatment.

Professional chemical peels can be safe when the formula, depth, and aftercare are selected appropriately for your skin. Tell your provider about active skin conditions, medications, retinol or exfoliating products, recent procedures, pregnancy or breastfeeding, cold-sore history, allergies, and any tendency toward pigmentation changes or scarring. A chemical peel may not be appropriate during an active flare, after certain treatments, or when the skin barrier is compromised. Your provider will determine whether treatment should proceed or be postponed.
