Overview

A chemical peel is a professional-grade chemical exfoliation treatment that removes damaged surface skin cells to reveal smoother, brighter, more even-toned skin underneath. At Texas Aesthetics and Bariatrics, our chemical peels are performed by our medical aesthetic team under the supervision of Dr. Ricardo M. Bonnor, MD, FACS, using SkinMedica's Vitalize Peel, a medical-grade formula trusted by dermatology and plastic surgery practices nationwide.

  • Overall skin radiance and clarity

Featured Treatment

Vitalize Peel by SkinMedica + Dermaplaning

We pair our chemical peel with dermaplaning, a gentle exfoliation technique that removes dead skin cells and fine facial hair. Together, they allow for deeper, more even product penetration and leave skin noticeably smoother.

What to Expect

Your treatment begins with a skin consultation to confirm you're a good candidate and to set expectations based on your skin type and goals. The peel itself takes about 30 to 45 minutes. Most patients experience mild redness or light flaking for a few days afterward, which is a normal part of the skin renewal process.
