Chemical Peels
Before we begin, these peels and peel series are only for clients who have been in to TruePenny Studio for a consultation or facial, and are on a professional home care regimen. Peels are best done when used in conjunction with the right products and ingredients being used at home. Applying peels without proper prep and home care will not give you the results that you desire. Ethically, we pride ourselves in always doing what is best for our clients.
With that being said, All the peels we offer can be curated to your exact skin needs. We are able to customize these peels using a variety of ingredients and how they are applied. Have a question!? Make sure to contact us and we will help answer any questions or concerns you have!

This service is an absolute FAVORITE for targeting hyperpigmentation, sun damage, melasma, and acne scarring.
This treatment introduces a cutting- edge natural solution as an alternative to microneedling. Lira Clinical's green power rebuilder is a natural herbal exfoliant that effectively tightens the skin and reduces the visibility of fine lines, pigmentation issues and acne scars. During this procedure, fibers obtained from the Mediterranean sea sponge are utilized to create microchannels in the skin, mirroring the effects of microneedling. These fibers remain within the skin, causing a prickling sensation that lasts for up to 48 hours. As the skin naturally works to expel the fibers, cellular turnover is stimulated, thereby enhancing the production of elastin and collagen. The outcome is a complexion that is noticeably smoother, more radiant, and well-nourished, allowing for improved absorption of skincare products.
DOWNTIME: You may have some mild to moderate flaking and peeling. Some people do not have any noticeable flaking, which is okay too!
This peel does not include a post care kit, but can be purchased for an additional $30 if you are not on a curated regimen by TruePenny Studio.

How to prepare for your Peel
1 Week Prior
Avoid ALL exfoliating products and tools 7 days before your treatment.
This includes retinol, and prescription retinols. No waxing or laser hair removal.
Make sure to fill out forms that are auto sent to you when you schedule your appointment.
The Day Of
Arrive with little to no makeup if possible. Make sure you filled out your consultation forms prior, if not arrive 10 minutes early to fill them out. Make sure you have no plans to workout or sit in a sauna afterwards.
Post Peel
No need to do your skincare routine that night, let all the good things soak in and one less thing on your to-do list! Drink lots of water. Wear SPF daily.
Follow the instructions in your follow up email for post care instructions for your specific peel.
Why Peel?
If you are wanting a truly corrective skin treatment that targets acne, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles, and texture, a chemical peel will be one of your best options. Most noticeable changes in the skin appear after a series of peels. Typically a series of 3-5 can be recommended depending on your skin goals.
PS! The goal isn't to peel your whole face off. Peels are much more sophisticated these days, and even if you don't see visible peeling don't think that those ingredients didn't do their job. Everybody's skin is different and will react slightly different to each peel each time!

If you are pregnant or nursing, please let us know so we can decide if this treatment is best for you.
Everyone peels differently. Many variants can affect the peeling process.
The amount of peeling can be heavy, especially if the patient has a lot of sun damage, frosts heavily, or has never had a peel before. The skin may come off in sheets for two to seven days.
On the other hand, those who have peels regularly or use retinoids at home may peel very lightly, as there is less to exfoliate. These patients may only experience very light or barely visible shedding that lasts two or three days.
Those with thick, leathery skin may also peel lightly.
In some cases, patients may peel twice. This is not a cause for concern. If this happens, advise frequent use of post-peel moisturizer to soothe the skin. Patients must not pick or pull at dead skin; they should simply allow it to shed on its own.
Rest assured; all patients will benefit from regular peels, which stimulate collagen and elastin production for a clearer, healthier, more youthful complexion.
Below are a few factors that can affect the process:
Skin type: Oily skin types tend to peel less than dry or sensitive skin.
Sun damage: Patients with resilient skin and/or significant sun damage may not peel deeply on the 1st treatment; prepping with a retinoid will help achieve the desired results.
Previous treatments: Patients who have undergone other anti-aging treatments (lasers, microneedling, etc.) or regularly use retinoids at home may be well exfoliated and thus may not shed as much as untreated patients.
This peel is virtually painless, and is well tolerated during application with little to no discomfort.
This peel is the strongest peel we offer at TruePenny, as it can create visible results from just one application. For somebody who is wanting the biggest change with one treatment, and can tolerate 5-7 days of peeling, I always recommend this peel. Other peels require a series for visible results.
Biggest changes after one peel include:
- Improved skin tone and texture
- Reduction in acne and pigmentation
- reduced appearance of pore size
Of course, most benefits can be seen in a series of three peels, spaced four weeks apart for dramatic results, along with using the correct skincare routine at home to optimize the peels benefits.
This peel is safe for all ages, and skin tones.
The Perfect Derma Peel can safely treat:
- Teenagers 13+ with acne
- Age 70+ with aging skin concerns
- Sensitive Skin
-Rosacea
-Most body areas
