A chemical peel is a non-surgical resurfacing treatment that uses a professional-grade solution to lift away damaged surface cells and reveal smoother, brighter skin. At Skin Social Med Spa in Sandy Springs, GA, our esthetician team offers three peels tuned to different goals, from fine lines and pigmentation to oily, acne-prone skin. Individual results vary.
What is a chemical peel and how does it work?
Chemical peels are non-surgical skin resurfacing treatments that apply a specialized chemical solution to exfoliate the outer layers of the skin. This process reveals fresher, smoother skin while stimulating collagen production for long-term skin health. At Skin Social, we offer several chemical peel options for face and body to address your unique skincare needs.

How do I choose between the Radiance Rewind, Berry Glow, and Bye Bye Acne peels?
| Peel | Active ingredient | Strength | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Radiance Rewind | TCA (trichloroacetic acid) | Professional 15% TCA | Wrinkles and fine lines, pigmentation, and acne on skin ready for a stronger resurfacing peel |
| Berry Glow | TCA plus berry extracts | Gentle 7% TCA | Pigmentation and fine lines on more sensitive skin, or a first peel with a lighter touch |
| Bye Bye Acne | Salicylic acid | 30% salicylic | Oily and acne-prone skin, congestion, and breakout-prone areas |
Individual results vary. Your provider selects strength and cadence at consultation.
Skin Social’s estheticians match the peel to the skin in front of them, not to a menu. For pigmentation and fine lines, that is often the Radiance Rewind 15% TCA; for skin that is reactive or new to peels, the gentler Berry Glow 7% TCA is usually the starting point. Individual results vary.
Between peels, advanced custom facials offer a tailored complement.
What does a chemical peel feel like and how much downtime is there?
Most peels are well tolerated, with slight tingling or warmth during a treatment that typically takes 30-60 minutes. Mild redness and peeling are common as the old skin sheds, and deeper peels may need more recovery time. Brighter, smoother skin can appear within 3-7 days, with results building over 1-2 weeks. Individual results vary.
How many chemical peel sessions will I need?
A series of 3-6 peels, spaced a few weeks apart, may be recommended depending on your skin goals and the type of peel. Your provider creates a plan for you at your consultation. Individual results vary.
One peel can give a real glow, but the deeper work on tone and texture usually comes from a planned series. For most acne and pigmentation goals, Skin Social’s estheticians build a series of three to six sessions a few weeks apart, then reassess with the client. Individual results vary.

Is a chemical peel safe for my skin type?
Skin Social offers peels at different strengths so treatment can match your skin. The gentle Berry Glow 7% TCA suits more sensitive skin or a first peel, while stronger peels are reserved for skin ready for deeper resurfacing. Your provider assesses your skin before choosing a peel and gives you aftercare instructions to manage any peeling or sensitivity. Individual results vary.
How do chemical peels compare to a HydraFacial or microneedling?
A chemical peel resurfaces the skin with a professional-grade solution to target tone, pigmentation, and acne. A HydraFacial in Sandy Springs is the no-downtime alternative, focused on cleansing, extraction, and hydration. Microneedling with Collagen Pin is the collagen-stimulating option for texture and scars. Your provider can recommend the right option or combination for your goals. Individual results vary.
