Chemical Peels in Edmonton
Medical-grade skin resurfacing for acne, pigmentation, sun damage, and fine lines — customized to your skin by our Registered Nurse.
The Treatment
What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a medical-grade skin resurfacing treatment that uses carefully selected acids to exfoliate the outer layers of the skin, stimulate cell turnover, and reveal fresher, healthier skin beneath.
Unlike over-the-counter exfoliants, professional chemical peels use higher-concentration formulations that penetrate deeper into the skin to address concerns that surface-level products simply cannot reach — including acne scarring, deep pigmentation, and early signs of aging.
At Aqua Aesthetics Med Spa & Laser in Edmonton, all chemical peel treatments are performed by our Registered Nurse, who customizes each treatment to your skin type, concern, and tolerance for optimal, safe results.
- Accelerates skin cell turnover
- Stimulates collagen production
- Reduces pigmentation & dark spots

What It Treats
Benefits of Chemical Peels in Edmonton
Chemical peels can address a wide range of skin concerns. Whether you're dealing with persistent acne, uneven tone, or the early signs of aging, there is a peel formulation designed to target your specific needs.
Our Treatments
Chemical Peel Options at Aqua Aesthetics
We offer a range of medical-grade chemical peels, each formulated to target specific skin concerns. Your nurse will recommend the most appropriate option during your consultation.
Salicylic Chemical Peel
A beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) peel that penetrates deep into pores to dissolve excess oil, clear blackheads, and reduce active breakouts. Ideal for oily and acne-prone skin types, this peel also helps refine texture and minimize the appearance of enlarged pores.
Glutathione Chemical Peel
A brightening peel powered by glutathione — a powerful antioxidant that inhibits melanin production. This treatment targets hyperpigmentation, sun damage, melasma, and uneven skin tone, leaving skin visibly brighter and more luminous with each session.
Intimate Whitening
A specialized brightening treatment designed for sensitive intimate areas including underarms, inner thighs, and bikini line. Using carefully selected depigmenting agents, this treatment safely lightens hyperpigmented skin while maintaining skin integrity.
TCA Peel
Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is one of the most effective resurfacing peels available. It penetrates deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen production, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve acne scarring, and deliver significant improvements in overall skin quality and tone.
The Process
How Does a Chemical Peel Work?
Every chemical peel treatment at Aqua Aesthetics follows a precise, nurse-led process designed to deliver safe, effective results.
Consultation
Your nurse assesses your skin type, concerns, and goals to select the most appropriate peel formula and depth for your skin.
Preparation
The skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepped to remove any makeup, oils, or impurities that could interfere with peel penetration.
Peel Application
The chemical solution is carefully applied to the treatment area. You may experience a mild tingling or warming sensation as the peel works.
Neutralization & Aftercare
The peel is neutralized and removed at the precise time. A soothing serum and SPF are applied, and your nurse provides personalized aftercare guidance.
Targeted Solutions
Chemical Peels for Your Skin Concern
Chemical Peels for Acne & Breakouts
Salicylic acid peels are particularly effective for acne-prone skin. They penetrate the pore lining to dissolve sebum, reduce bacteria, and calm inflammation — helping to clear existing breakouts and prevent new ones from forming.
Chemical Peels for Pigmentation & Sun Damage
Glutathione and TCA peels target melanin overproduction caused by sun exposure, hormonal changes, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Regular treatments can significantly lighten dark spots and even out skin tone.
Chemical Peels for Anti-Aging
TCA peels stimulate collagen and elastin production in the deeper layers of the skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and skin laxity. Results improve progressively with a series of treatments.
Chemical Peels for Acne Scarring
By accelerating cell turnover and promoting new collagen formation, medium-depth peels can visibly reduce the appearance of shallow acne scars and post-acne marks over a course of treatments.
Why Aqua Aesthetics
Why Choose Aqua Aesthetics for Chemical Peels in Edmonton?
At Aqua Aesthetics Med Spa & Laser, chemical peels are a medical treatment — not a spa service. That distinction matters for your safety and your results.
Nurse-Led Treatments
All chemical peel treatments at Aqua Aesthetics are performed by our Registered Nurse. Medical training ensures precise application, appropriate peel selection, and safe management of any skin reactions.
Customized to Your Skin
We never take a one-size-fits-all approach. Your peel type, concentration, and application time are tailored to your skin type, concerns, and tolerance — maximizing results while minimizing risk.
Medical-Grade Formulations
We use professional-grade chemical peel solutions that are not available over the counter. These formulations deliver superior results compared to at-home peels or spa-grade treatments.
Comprehensive Aftercare Support
Your nurse provides detailed post-peel instructions and product recommendations to support healing, protect your results, and prepare your skin for future treatments.
Your Appointment
Chemical Peel Treatment Experience
Your appointment begins with a skin assessment and consultation. Treatment time varies by peel type — superficial peels typically take 30–45 minutes, while medium-depth peels may take slightly longer.
- Comfortable, professional environment
- Nurse-guided treatment from start to finish
- Customized peel selection for your skin
- Soothing post-peel care applied in-clinic

Aftercare Tips
- Expect some redness and mild flaking in the days following treatment — this is normal and part of the resurfacing process.
- Do not pick or peel the skin — allow it to shed naturally to avoid scarring.
- Apply SPF 30+ daily and avoid direct sun exposure for at least 2 weeks post-treatment.
- Keep skin hydrated with gentle, fragrance-free moisturizers as recommended by your nurse.
