Exfoliate your skin and
reveal a glowing complexion

Chemical peels are advanced, skin-renewing treatments that use carefully formulated solutions to exfoliate the outer layers of your skin. At The Acacia House, we use medical-grade peels from ZO Skin Health to improve tone, texture, and clarity. By removing damaged cells, chemical peels help reduce acne, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage. Each treatment is customized to your skin type and goals—whether you want a light refresh or deeper correction. The result: healthier, smoother skin that glows from the inside out.

Chemical peels treat:

  • Persistent acne and clogged pores
  • Post-acne marks and scarring
  • Uneven skin tone and dullness
  • Fine lines and early signs of aging
  • Sun damage and dark spots
  • Melasma and pigmentation issues
  • Rough or textured skin
  • Enlarged pores and oil buildup

How do chemical peels work?

Chemical peels use a solution—usually with acids like salicylic, glycolic, or lactic acid—to break down the bonds between dead skin cells on the surface. This controlled exfoliation encourages the skin to shed those damaged layers, revealing newer, healthier skin underneath.

As your skin regenerates, it produces more collagen and elastin, which helps improve texture, tone, and firmness over time. At The Acacia House, we use ZO Skin Health’s medical-grade formulas to ensure effective results with minimal downtime.

Benefits of chemical peels:

  • Smoother, more refined skin texture
  • Brighter, more even skin tone
  • Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
  • Fewer breakouts and clearer pores
  • Lightened dark spots and sun damage
  • Improved skin hydration and glow
  • Boosted collagen production over time
  • Minimal downtime with long-lasting results

Your complete chemical peel experience

Consultation

We take time to understand your skin, concerns, and goals. Whether you’re struggling with breakouts or pigmentation or just want a fresh glow, we’ll assess your skin type and recommend the right ZO Skin Health peel—we never rush this process. We’ll also go over what to expect before, during, and after your treatment so you feel informed before proceeding.

Treatment

When you arrive for your chemical peel, your skin will be prepped and cleansed to ensure optimal results. We apply your customized ZO Skin Health solution carefully and evenly. You may feel mild tingling or warmth—that’s the peel getting to work. The entire treatment typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, and we’ll be by your side to ensure your comfort.

Recovery

Depending on the depth of your peel, you may experience some redness, dryness, or flaking in the days following treatment—this is normal. We’ll provide detailed aftercare instructions and product recommendations to support healing and protect your results. Most clients resume normal activities right away, with noticeable shedding usually lasting just a few days.

Results

You’ll start to notice brighter, smoother skin within the first week—and results only improve over time. Pores appear tighter, pigmentation fades, and your overall skin texture looks more refined. For best results, we may recommend a series of treatments or pairing your peel with other advanced services. Your skin will not only look better—it will be healthier, too.
