Chemical Peels
Chemical peels accelerate cellular turnover through controlled damage to the epidermis, dissolve bonds between dead skin cells, stimulate fibroblast activity, and encourage collagen remodeling. Our peels are categorized into 3 levels, and each peel is 100% customized to each client to give you the best results based on your skin conditions. Come visit us at Rico Skin Co. Long Beach, Ca for your GLOWup.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a chemical peel help treat?
Chemical peels can improve acne, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, melasma, texture, fine lines, sun damage, enlarged pores, and overall skin dullness. Different peel strengths and ingredients are chosen based on your skin concerns and goals.
Will my skin actually peel after the treatment?
Not always. Visible peeling is common, but it is not the only indicator that your treatment worked. Some clients experience light flaking while others experience more noticeable peeling depending on the type and strength of the peel, their skin condition, and how their skin responds.
Are chemical peels safe for darker skin tones?
Yes, when performed correctly by a trained professional who understands skin health, wound healing, and pigment behavior. Proper prep, customized treatment selection, and post care are extremely important to reduce the risk of post inflammatory hyperpigmentation and protect the skin barrier.
Do chemical peels hurt?
Most clients describe chemical peels as a tingling, spicy, or warm sensation during the treatment. The intensity depends on the type of peel being performed. Some treatments are very mild, while corrective peels may feel more active for a short period of time.
How long does it take to heal after a chemical peel?
Healing time depends on the depth of the peel. Light peels may have little to no downtime, while medium depth peels can involve peeling, dryness, tightness, and sensitivity for several days. Following proper aftercare is essential for healthy healing and optimal results. [SEE POST CARE INFO]
How many chemical peels will I need to see results?
Some clients notice brighter, smoother skin after one treatment, but corrective concerns like acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, and texture usually require a series of treatments for significant long term improvement. Consistency and home care matter.
What should I avoid before my chemical peel?
You may need to temporarily stop using retinol, exfoliants, acids, benzoyl peroxide, or certain active ingredients several days before your appointment. Sun exposure and aggressive at home treatments should also be avoided to reduce irritation and sensitivity. [SEE PRE CARE INFO]
What should I avoid after my chemical peel?
After your peel, avoid picking or peeling the skin, excessive heat, workouts, direct sun exposure, exfoliating products, and active ingredients until your skin has healed. Daily SPF is non negotiable during the healing process. [SEE POST CARE INFO]

Enhance your skincare routine with the Green Sea Peel for deeper exfoliation and skin rejuvenation. This is an incredible and powerhouse of a resurfacing treatment that targets hyperpigmentation, stimulates fibroblast activity, and immensely improves skin texture. The Spicules in the peel form the exoskeleton of marine sponges or certain types of coral. They are mainly composed of calcium carbonate, or silicon dioxide. Due to their structure, with their sharp-like edges, they create a microchanneling effect, and they also act as a transepidermal delivery system. Once pushed into the skin, and after dissolved, they release a polypharmacy of vitamins, minerals, natural steroids (Vitamin D), and antibiotics. Targets severe hyperpigmentation, dark spots, uneven texture, fine lines, and large pores.
