What skin concerns can be improved with chemical peels?

Chemical peels can address fine lines, sun damage, acne, pigmentation, dullness, and uneven texture. Your treatment is customized to target your specific goals and skin type.

Are chemical peels safe for sensitive skin or darker skin tones?

Yes. Our physician-led team selects the safest peel type for your skin, minimizing risks like hyperpigmentation or irritation. All treatments are tailored to your unique needs.

What is the downtime after a chemical peel?

Downtime varies by peel depth. Light peels may cause mild redness for 1-2 days, while deeper peels can result in peeling and redness for up to a week. We provide thorough aftercare instructions.

How do I prepare for my chemical peel appointment?

We recommend avoiding retinoids, waxing, or harsh exfoliants for at least 5 days before your appointment. Our team will review your skincare routine and provide personalized guidance.

How often should I get chemical peels for best results?

The ideal frequency depends on your skin type and goals. Many patients benefit from light peels every 4-6 weeks, while deeper treatments are spaced further apart. Our team will create a schedule for you.

Is a consultation required before my first peel?

Yes. A $100 consultation ensures your safety and applies toward your treatment (not products or injectables). We assess your skin and medical history before proceeding.

Chemical Peels | Carolina Face & Body

At Carolina Face & Body, our chemical peel treatments are designed to safely rejuvenate your skin while honoring your natural beauty. Unlike over-the-counter exfoliants or spa-grade solutions, our medical-grade chemical peels are administered under the attentive care of Dr. Kayla Humenansky, the only private practice female plastic surgeon in the Midlands region. From light peels using salicylic or glycolic acids for subtle glow, to medium-depth TCA and retinoic peels, and even deep phenol options for advanced renewal, each treatment is tailored to your unique skin needs and goals. Whether you are seeking to diminish sun damage, smooth fine lines, treat stubborn acne, or even out pigmentation, our team creates a personalized plan for visible, natural-looking improvements. Located at 927 Chapin Rd, just minutes from Lake Murray and serving the greater Midlands area, our clinic setting ensures you receive physician-level care in a supportive, judgment-free environment.

Choosing a clinical chemical peel at Carolina Face & Body means entrusting your skin to true medical professionals. Unlike typical med-spas, our peels are prescribed and supervised by Dr. Humenansky and our skilled aesthetic nursing team, ensuring the highest standards of safety and efficacy. Our peels penetrate deeper layers of skin to stimulate cell renewal, boost collagen production, and refine texture with precision. This physician-led approach minimizes risks like irritation or uneven results, making it ideal for patients with sensitive skin, post-pregnancy changes, or those recovering from procedures such as facelifts or scar repair. Our practice is known for prioritizing restoration over drastic change, so every peel is an opportunity to reveal a fresher version of yourself, never an artificial one. With a range of options suitable for all skin types, including those with a history of acne, melasma, or sun exposure, you can trust that your journey to radiant skin starts with clinical expertise.

At Carolina Face & Body, chemical peels are never a one-size-fits-all solution. We offer a spectrum of peel strengths, from gentle exfoliation for first-timers to advanced resurfacing for those seeking dramatic renewal. During your consultation, our team evaluates your skin, medical history, and lifestyle to recommend the ideal peel type and depth. Light peels are perfect for monthly maintenance or prepping for special events, while medium and deep peels target deeper wrinkles, acne scars, and significant discoloration. Our commitment to restoration means we focus on subtle, refreshed outcomes—so you look like yourself, only brighter. Every treatment is paired with medical-grade aftercare and follow-up advice, supporting both immediate results and long-term skin health. Whether you are addressing sun damage from days on Lake Murray or seeking to restore skin confidence after pregnancy or weight loss, our physician-led approach ensures safe, beautiful outcomes.

Chemical peels at Carolina Face & Body are more than a cosmetic touch-up—they are a vital part of our holistic approach to lifelong skin health. Our treatments support patients at every stage, from teens managing acne to adults seeking age-defying radiance. By combining advanced exfoliation with our philosophy of restoration, we help you reclaim skin resilience after life's transitions, such as pregnancy, weight loss, or even surgical procedures.

With regular peels and personalized skincare, you can expect improved texture, minimized pores, and a glowing, even-toned complexion that lasts.
