As the crisp autumn air settles in, there’s no better time to renew your skin and refresh your glow. At the Aesthetic Studio at the Couri Center, fall marks the beginning of “peel season”—a perfect opportunity to take advantage of cooler temperatures and lower UV exposure for safe, effective medical-grade chemical peels.
While chemical peels can be performed year-round, fall offers the ideal conditions for optimal healing and long-lasting results. Whether you’re concerned about sun damage, fine lines, acne, or dullness, peels can naturally and effectively transform your skin’s tone, texture, and clarity.
Personalized Peel Plans, Tailored to You
At the Couri Center, we proudly offer SkinCeuticals professional-grade chemical peels—a trusted name in advanced skincare backed by science. These pharmaceutical-grade formulations are clinically proven to improve skin health, correct signs of aging, and restore radiance with minimal downtime.
Every treatment begins with a personalized consultation to evaluate your skin’s condition, sensitivity level, and long-term goals. I will recommend the ideal SkinCeuticals peel for your skin type and concerns, ensuring safe, effective, and visible results.
Here are a few of our most trusted peel ingredients:
Glycolic Acid
Known for smoothing texture and minimizing fine lines and pores, glycolic acid also stimulates collagen production—for firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
Lactic Acid
Ideal for dry or sensitive skin, lactic acid provides gentle exfoliation while delivering deep hydration and brightening benefits.
Mandelic Acid
A favorite for patients with rosacea-prone or acneic skin, this mild AHA clears pores, reduces breakouts, and improves texture—without irritation.
Salicylic Acid
Best suited for acne-prone or oily skin, salicylic acid deeply exfoliates, clears clogged pores, reduces inflammation, and helps regulate oil production.
TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid)
Looking to reduce deep wrinkles, scarring, or sun damage? TCA peels penetrate deeper layers of the skin for more dramatic results. These peels require careful professional application and planning, making fall the perfect time to begin.
How to Prepare Your Skin
Think of your skin like you would your body—lasting change takes consistency. Just as you wouldn’t expect major results after one workout, one peel is a step in the journey. Most patients see the best outcomes with a series of treatments combined with a customized homecare routine.
Before your peel, I will walk you through a pre-treatment skincare regimen designed to protect and prepare your skin:
- Cleanser: Active ingredients to strengthen and clarify the skin
- Vitamin C Serum: Supports barrier function and reduces inflammation
- Exfoliant: Gently jumpstarts cellular turnover
- Moisturizer: Hydrates and protects the skin’s barrier
- SPF: A must! Especially while prepping or healing from a peel
We offer a variety of SkinBetter & OneSkin medical-grade skincare products at the Couri Center to support your results at home.
