Body Chemical Peel
Here’s the thing: when dead skin cells build up, your body’s natural glow hides under a dull veneer—much like a dusty mirror that needs one good swipe to shine. Our Body Chemical Peel at Leo Beauty Center, Houston is that swipe. Using dermatologist-approved acid blends, we gently dissolve surface roughness, unclog pores on your back, arms, or legs, and coax fresh, even-toned skin to the surface—no sandpaper scrubbing, no drama.
Why Clients Love It
- Polishes Away Dullness
A controlled exfoliation lifts dead cells in one fell swoop, unveiling that silky “baby-skin” feel you thought you’d lost after middle school PE.
- Fades Dark Spots & Body Acne
Targeted acids throttle pigment clusters and calm over-active oil glands, reducing post-acne marks and new breakouts alike.
- Boosts Collagen, Tightens Texture
Think of collagen as your skin’s internal scaffolding; by nudging it to rebuild, peels leave bumpy or crepey areas visibly smoother.
- Works Where Lotions Can’t
Thick elbows, KP-prone arms, sun-spotted shoulders—areas body wash ignores get equal TLC.
- Minimal Downtime
Expect a brief “micro-flake” phase, not a full snakeskin molt. You can still hit brunch.
Before Your Appointment: How to Prepare
Skip the Scrubs – Ditch physical exfoliants, retinoids, or waxing on the treatment zone for five days.
Hydrate Inside & Out – Drink water and moisturize nightly; well-quenched skin peels more evenly.
Sun Sense – No tanning beds or unprotected sun exposure for two weeks leading in.
Disclose Meds & Skin History – Accutane, antibiotics, or a recent sunburn? Tell your specialist so we can tweak the formula.
Loose-Fit Clothing – Cotton tees and breathable fabrics keep fresh skin irritation-free on peel day.
Aftercare and What to Expect
- Days 1-2: Mild warmth, maybe a pink glow. Resist the urge to pick—your peel is working.
- Days 3-5: Light flaking. Pat don’t scrub after showering; apply the soothing balm we send you home with.
- SPF Non-Negotiable: Broad-spectrum 30+ every morning—even if you’re only dashing to H-E-B.
- Moisture Lock: Fragrance-free cream twice daily keeps new skin supple.
- Results Timeline: Brighter tone by week 1, smoother texture by week 2-3. A series of three peels, spaced four weeks apart, maximizes glow.
