Even if we maintain a consistent, high-quality skincare routine, sometimes our skin needs a reset. Perhaps you have acne scars from your twenties, or dark spots that appeared during pregnancy or fine lines that seemed to show up overnight. At Bella Tu Med Spa in Nyack, NY, we offer a variety of chemical peels to resurface and refresh your skin.
Does the term “chemical peel” make you picture red, peeling skin that keeps you homebound for weeks? It’s time to update that mental image. Modern peels range from gentle lunchtime treatments to more intensive resurfacing options, and no matter what peel you choose, the Bella Tu team’s expertise means you get results without unnecessary downtime or drama.
What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a professional skin treatment that uses exfoliating acids like glycolic acid, salicylic acid, trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and retinoic acid to lift away damaged surface cells and promote collagen renewal. As the outer layer of your skin sheds, clearer, smoother skin is revealed underneath.
What Concerns Can a Chemical Peel Treat?
Chemical peels are an effective treatment option for a wide variety of skin concerns, including:
- Sun damage and uneven pigmentation
- Acne and acne scars
- Fine lines and early signs of aging
- Dull or rough texture
- Large pores and congested skin
- Melasma and post-inflammatory discoloration
Our Chemical Peel Options at Bella Tu
Fire & Ice Facial Peel
The Fire & Ice Facial Peel is our most requested glow-up treatment. It combines a unique blend of warming and cooling masks to gently resurface your skin without irritation, flaking or downtime. This peel is ideal for weddings, special events, photo shoots or any occasion when you want your skin to look its absolute best.
Clients love the immediate radiance it provides, along with the relaxing, rejuvenating experience and the fact that there’s no peeling or redness to contend with (just smooth, luminous skin!).
Designer Peels
Our Designer Peels are therapeutic, science-backed treatments tailored to your skin concerns and lifestyle. Whether you’re looking to manage acne, correct uneven tone and texture or simply maintain a smoother, more radiant complexion, our experienced estheticians will create a customized peel formulation tailored to your specific needs.
Designer Peels can be combined with other services, such as facials, microneedling or dermaplaning, to further boost your skin’s health and glow.
SkinMedica® Medical-Grade Peels
We proudly offer SkinMedica’s professional chemical peel system, trusted by dermatologists and estheticians nationwide. These medical-grade formulations are designed to address a wide range of skin concerns, from mild dullness to deeper discoloration and fine lines. They are safe for all skin types.
At Bella Tu Med Spa, we offer four of SkinMedica’s most effective options. The Illuminating Peel ($149) is ideal for brightening dull skin and improving uneven tone. The Vitalize Peel ($199) targets mild to moderate discoloration and helps refine texture. The VI Peel ($350) is a versatile solution for acne scars, pigmentation, and overall clarity, while the Rejuvenize Peel ($249) is best suited for deeper pigmentation, sun damage and fine lines.
Glycolic & Chemical Peels (Add-On or Standalone)
Our Glycolic and Chemical Peels, available as an add-on or standalone treatment, offer a gentle yet effective way to refresh your skin. These peels exfoliate the surface layer to boost natural radiance without causing flaking, peeling or irritation.
Priced at $89, they are an excellent option for first-time chemical peel clients, those seeking to maintain results between deeper treatments or anyone looking for subtle improvements in skin texture and tone.
What to Expect During Your Chemical Peel at Bella Tu
Your Consultation
Every treatment starts with a one-on-one consultation. We’ll assess your skin and recommend the ideal peel for your goals.
During the Treatment
Peels are performed in our relaxing spa setting. Depending on the formula, you may feel mild tingling or warmth. The treatment typically lasts 30–45 minutes, and most clients can resume their daily activities immediately afterward.
After the Peel
Post-treatment experiences vary depending on the peel. Lighter peels may cause minimal flaking, while medium peels involve visible peeling for several days.
Common side effects:
- Mild redness or dryness
- Peeling (usually begins two to three days post-treatment)
- Temporary tightness or sensitivity
We’ll provide a detailed aftercare plan, including:
- Hydrating skincare
- Sun protection
- Avoiding harsh products for five to seven days
When Will I See Results?
Some clients notice brighter skin within a day. Full results typically appear over seven to ten days as your skin peels and renews.
Peel results are cumulative. For optimal results, we typically recommend a series of three to six treatments, spaced four to six weeks apart, especially for stubborn pigmentation or acne scars.
Is a Chemical Peel Right for You?
You may be a great candidate for a peel if you:
- Want to refresh your complexion without downtime
