No matter how conscientious you are about protecting your skin from the environment, free radicals, and UV rays, skin damage can easily happen. It can be difficult to reverse the damage, but thanks to chemical peels, it’s more achievable than ever before.
If you’re concerned about the effects of the environment on your skin, a chemical peel treatment might be just what you need. These cosmetic treatments resurface the skin to reveal a softer layer with a more even tone, a smoother texture, and a brighter, clearer complexion.

Medical-grade peels tailored to your skin goals
Chemical peels are very popular skin care treatments that are suitable for every skin type. Using a specially formulated, medical-grade peel by the Vitality Institute, we can address a multitude of skin concerns and conditions.
How do chemical peels work?
A carefully formulated solution removes the topmost layer of skin, thereby removing dead, dull, congested skin cells.
New cell creation is stimulated, dermal structures regenerate, and dead skin cells are exfoliated. Peels effectively resurface the skin to produce a healthy complexion and remove damaged skin cells at the same time.
There are three chemical peel types or depths:
Which depth of peel is recommended depends on factors like the current condition of the skin that will be treated as well as the skin concerns that are being targeted.
A light chemical peel is also known as a superficial peel. It removes the outer layer of skin (the epidermis). These peels are appropriate and effective for treating dryness, acne, uneven skin tone, and light wrinkles.
A medium chemical peel removes portions of the upper part of the middle layer of skin (dermis) along with skin cells from the outer layer (epidermis). This level of chemical peel treats acne scars, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone issues.
A deep chemical peel removes skin cells from deeper within the layers of skin. Doctors may recommend this depth of peel to treat deep wrinkles, precancerous growths, and scars.
VI Peel is a type of chemical peel that is used to improve the texture, tone, and clarity of the skin. It is a medical-grade chemical peel that contains a blend of ingredients such as trichloroacetic acid (TCA), salicylic acid, phenol, retinoic acid, and vitamin C.
The VI Peel is designed to treat a variety of skin concerns, including acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles. It works by exfoliating the outermost layer of skin and stimulating collagen production, which can lead to improved skin texture and a more youthful appearance.
Medium-depth peel with results in as little as seven days. Treats skin compromised by sun damage, melasma, UV-induced pigmentation, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).
A medium chemical peel that removes portions of the upper part of the middle layer of skin (dermis) along with skin cells from the outer layer (epidermis). This level of chemical peel treats acne scars, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone issues.
Medium-depth peel for mature skin with results in as little as seven days. For skin with these concerns: aging skin (Ages 40+), wrinkles, fine lines, loss of elasticity.
VI Peel prescribed by your medical professional coupled with a neurotoxin injectable on the same treatment day. Full results in about 14 days. This combination treatment will boost the results of the injectable and increase the production of collagen. This double treatment will also reduce sun damage and improve overall skin texture and tone.
Skin concerns don’t just happen to your face. You may have areas of the neck, décolleté, back, or legs that would benefit from a chemical peel. VI Peel Body is made just for those areas. Treats skin with these concerns: pigmentation and fine lines, body acne, scars from acne, surgeries or injuries, stretch marks, sagging skin.
In addition to our line of VI Peels, we offer a light-depth peel from the esteemed Jan Marini Skin Research collection. This peel is designed to improve the appearance of fine lines, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. It uses a combination of salicylic acid, resorcinol, and lactic acid to exfoliate the skin and promote cell turnover. Results can be seen within a day or two after treatment, with continued improvements over time as the skin's natural healing process takes place. Depending on the severity of the skin concerns being addressed, this peel may be repeated every two to four weeks for a series of three to six treatments.
While chemical peels are generally considered safe, there are some risks associated with these treatments, and they should only be performed by a qualified and experienced medical professional, like those at Lovely Medical Spa & Wellness Center. We pre-screen all of our patients to ensure they are suitable candidates for treatment.

After cleansing your skin, your aesthetic specialist will apply a carefully selected, medical-grade solution, chosen based on your skin type and concerns. When the peel is initially applied, you might feel a tingling sensation. The tingling fades away quickly. In some cases, you will leave your appointment with the peel still on and rinse it off about four hours after your treatment. Other types of peels are removed or neutralized during your appointment.
We’ll give you personalized aftercare instruction and a skin peel post-treatment care kit to support smooth healing. You can resume your normal activities right after your peel, but you should avoid extreme heat and strenuous exercise for a few days.
Most patients begin peeling on about day three, and the process takes three to four more days. As your skin regenerates, the glowing, healthy skin you’ve been waiting for will be revealed! Some of our patients don’t peel, and that’s perfectly fine. They still see fantastic results!
By gently removing the damaged outer layer of skin and encouraging healthy new cell growth, chemical peels offer a versatile solution for a wide range of skin concerns.
At Lovely Medical Spa & Wellness Center, we use medical-grade formulations to treat:
Whether you're looking for a refresh or targeting specific concerns, chemical peels can be customized to meet your skin’s needs at every stage.
The benefits of chemical peels are not limited to the face, although the face is the most common treatment area. The neck and hands can also be treated with peels.
Most people with mild to moderate skin concerns are excellent candidates for chemical peels. These treatments work well for a variety of skin tones and types and can be personalized to your specific goals.
You may be asked to wait if you’re pregnant, have certain skin conditions, or are taking medications that affect healing. During your consultation, we’ll carefully review your skin and medical history to ensure the treatment is safe and well-suited for you.
Recovery depends on the strength of your peel, but most patients are able to return to daily activities the same day. You may experience some redness or tightness immediately after your appointment. Peeling typically begins around day three and continues for three to four days. Some patients peel noticeably, while others shed very little. Both responses are normal.
We’ll provide a post-care kit with everything you need to soothe and protect your skin. You’ll want to avoid sun exposure, saunas, and intense workouts for several days to allow your skin to heal properly. And, of course, SPF is a must.
After a chemical peel, your skin will begin to feel smoother and look more radiant, often within just a few days. As the damaged top layers shed, you'll notice a brighter tone, softer texture, and a renewed glow that feels fresh and healthy.
With a single treatment, many patients see improvement in skin clarity and tone. But for more visible transformation—like addressing melasma, acne scarring, or deeper wrinkles—a series of two to three peels spaced a few weeks apart often provides the most rewarding results. From there, maintenance peels every three to six months can help keep your skin luminous and refreshed.
At Lovely Medical Spa & Wellness Center in Gulf Breeze, FL—also serving Navarre, Pensacola, and Milton—your skin is cared for with precision, intention, and a little extra kindness.
Our aesthetic specialists are trained in medical-grade peels and always tailor treatments to your unique skin type, tone, and concerns. Whether you're new to peels or looking to elevate your routine with VI Peel or Jan Marini formulations, we’ll guide you gently through the process and support you every step of the way. Because beauty should never feel rushed—and lovely is always in the details.
You’ll typically begin to see a brighter, more even complexion within a few days. Most patients notice full results after about one to two weeks, once the peeling process has completed.
For most skin goals, a series of 2–3 peels spaced about 2–4 weeks apart is ideal. After that, maintenance treatments every few months can help keep your results looking fresh.
It’s best to avoid makeup for the first 24–48 hours after your peel, especially while your skin is actively peeling. Once your skin has healed, makeup can be worn as usual, often with a smoother finish than before.
Yes, especially when performed by experienced professionals. At Lovely, we customize each peel to suit your skin type and use medical-grade options like VI Peel that are designed to be safe and effective across a range of skin tones.
You may feel tingling or mild stinging when the peel is applied, but discomfort is generally minimal and temporary. We’ll walk you through what to expect and make sure you're comfortable throughout your treatment.
Peeling varies from person to person. Some people experience noticeable flaking, while others peel very little. Regardless of how much visible peeling occurs, the treatment is still working beneath the surface to improve your skin.
