Chemical Peels in Calgary
Smoother, Clearer Skin. Peels for Every Skin Tone.
Juvea offers a range of medical-grade peels tailored to your skin type, your goals, and what your skin can safely handle. We work with clients of all backgrounds and ethnicities, and peel selections are always recommended with clinical evidence for the best results.
At Juvea, peel selection is never assumed without an appropriate analysis. Your skin tone and ethnic background are factored into any recommendations from the beginning. Clients with deeper skin tones face a clinical risk if the wrong peel is applied, because certain acid depths can worsen pigmentation rather than treat it. We have extensive experience in working with all ethnicities and deliver expert recommendations for every skin type.
What Are Chemical Peels?
A chemical peel in Calgary is a professional skin treatment that uses a solution (typically alpha-hydroxy acids, beta-hydroxy acids, TCA, or a combination) to break down and remove dead, damaged cells on the skin’s surface. What grows back underneath is new, healthier skin: smoother in texture, more even in tone, and better able to absorb the products you’re using at home.
The type and depth of peel chosen can change the experience and the outcome. A light peel (used for brightness, maintenance, early pigmentation) might leave your skin slightly dry for 3-5 days. A medium-depth peel is stronger, and involves a more visible peeling process over several days.
Areas We Treat with Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are very versatile, and if you’ve been told that peels aren’t suitable for your skin, our team excels at choosing the right formula for your specific skin type. We use peels to address a variety of concerns, including:

WHAT TO EXPECT
The Chemical Peel Process at Juvea Aesthetics
Consultation | We start by assessing your skin type, concerns, goals and ethnic skin profile. This journey is incredibly personalized and thorough. |
Education | We explain which treatments will benefit your skin and which ones aren’t necessary, so you can make an informed decision. |
Treatment | Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed so the solution can penetrate and absorb evenly. The peel solution is applied and monitored closely throughout. You'll likely feel mild warmth or tingling (this is totally normal). Most appointments take 30-60 minutes. |
Results & Aftercare | Lighter peels leave skin looking refreshed within days. Deeper peels like the Perfect Derma Peel involve a peeling process over 5-7 days as the skin actively regenerates. |
Pre-Treatment Care for Chemical Peels
Please ensure you have stopped using Retin-A, Vitamin A, and Glycolic or chemical exfoliants 3-5 days before your appointment.
Post-treatment Care for Chemical Peels
You’ll leave with a Post-Procedure Kit containing three medical-grade products to use for the next five days. Sunscreen (SPF 30) is required, and you must avoid direct sunlight and abrasive products like scrubs while your skin heals.

Frequently Asked Questions
We give clear, direct answers so you can decide what’s right for your skin. Not sure where to start? Book a free consultation.
What types of chemical peels are available at Juvea?
We offer several options, including the Radiant 30 Peel for gentle exfoliation and brightening, and the AHA Duo or BHA 20, which penetrates deeper to target pigmentation, fine lines, and acne scars. For more advanced rejuvenation and collagen stimulation, we also offer The Perfect Derma Peel, while the Glow Peel and Power Glow Peel are popular choices for balancing effective exfoliation with minimal downtime.
Are chemical peels safe for darker skin tones?
Yes, when the peel is chosen correctly. Deeper skin tones have a higher risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, so we assess your skin tone and history first and select acids and depths suited to your skin. Pre-treatment prep may be recommended.
Do chemical peels hurt?
Most people feel mild tingling, warmth or stinging while the solution is on the skin. It eases once the peel is neutralised or removed. Deeper peels feel more intense, and we monitor your comfort throughout.
How many chemical peels will I need?
Most clients see the best results with a series of 3-6 peels spaced 2-4 weeks apart. One peel brightens the skin; a series is usually needed for pigmentation, acne or texture.
When will I see results, and how long do they last?
Skin looks brighter right away, and texture improves once peeling finishes, usually within 7-10 days. Results from a single peel last about 4-6 weeks and build with a series and a consistent home-care routine.
What is the cost of a chemical peel at Juvea?
Pricing is based on the specific type of peel selected, the protocol advancements used, and your treatment frequency. To support your results, every client receives a Post-Procedure Kit to use for five days following treatment, which includes three medical-grade skincare products. You can find our detailed pricing via our online booking link.
How long is recovery after a chemical peel?
Light peels usually involve 1-3 days of dryness or light flaking, and some clients have none. The Perfect Derma™ Peel typically involves 5-7 days of peeling. Use your Post-Procedure Kit, moisturiser and SPF daily while your skin heals.
What is The Perfect Derma Peel™?
The Perfect Derma Peel is a medical-grade treatment designed to reduce signs of aging, acne, and sun damage while improving overall skin texture. It combines powerful ingredients like glutathione, retinoic acid, and TCA for an effective treatment that promotes collagen production and skin rejuvenation.
What are the side effects of a chemical peel?
Temporary redness, dryness, flaking, tightness and mild swelling are common. Less common risks include pigmentation changes, cold sore flare-ups and, rarely, infection or scarring. Following your aftercare and wearing daily sunscreen lowers these risks.
Who shouldn't get a chemical peel?
Peels aren’t recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, within 6-12 months of isotretinoin (Accutane), or over active infections, open wounds or sunburns. Tell us about any cold-sore history so we can plan ahead.
