Advanced Chemical Peels in Puerto Vallarta

Reveal Radiant Skin: Advanced Chemical Peels

A chemical peel is a powerful, non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that meticulously removes the damaged outer layers of the skin. By accelerating natural cellular turnover, this treatment effectively reveals the exceptionally fresh, glowing, and healthy complexion hiding underneath.

 
Top Quality Solutions

We use only premium, medical-grade exfoliating acids (such as TCA, Salicylic, Glycolic, and Lactic acids) sourced from top dermatological laboratories to ensure safety, efficacy, and highly controlled results.

Customized Renewal

Whether you need a superficial “lunchtime glow” or a deeper structural resurfacing, our peels are entirely customizable. We match the specific depth and acid blend to your unique skin type and concerns.

The Science of Controlled Cellular Turnover

Experience true skin revitalization. Our clinical peeling process is designed to target specific imperfections while promoting deep dermal regeneration in a safe, controlled environment.

 
Identify the Key Requirements

We begin with a detailed skin analysis. By assessing your skin type, tone, and specific concerns—such as melasma, active acne, sun damage, or fine lines—we select the precise chemical solution and concentration required for your customized peel.

 
The Application Phase

After deeply cleansing and prepping the skin, the chemical solution is expertly applied. You may feel a warm, tingling sensation as the active ingredients penetrate the epidermis. The solution is carefully timed and, depending on the type of peel, neutralized to ensure maximum safety.

 
The Exfoliation & Healing Process

Over the next 3 to 7 days, the magic happens. The targeted layers of dead, damaged skin will gradually dry and flake off (peel). As this old skin sheds, your body rushes to produce fresh, new skin cells and stimulates collagen production.

 
Evaluate the New Complexion

We review your skin once the peeling process is fully complete (typically 10 to 14 days later). We evaluate the improvement in texture and tone, and provide a specialized home-care routine to protect and prolong your beautiful, radiant new skin.

Real testimonials
our patients

Living in Puerto Vallarta, the sun really took a toll on my skin, leaving me with dark spots and uneven tone. Dr. Darío customized a medium-depth chemical peel for me. The peeling process was exactly as he described, and a week later, my skin looked brand new. The dark spots are virtually gone, and my face is glowing!

have struggled with adult acne and the marks it leaves behind. The Salicylic acid peels at Redna Aesthetics have been a lifesaver. Not only did it stop my active breakouts, but it also smoothed out the texture of my skin beautifully. It’s the clearest my face has looked in years.

— Mark D

I wanted to refresh my skin before a big event but didn’t have time for a long recovery. The team recommended a light, ‘lunchtime’ peel. It gave me a slight tingle, zero downtime, and by the weekend, my makeup went on flawlessly. My skin was incredibly bright and soft. Highly professional and welcoming clinic!

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the most important post-peel care?2026-04-08T23:54:13+00:00

Sun protection is absolutely mandatory. The fresh, new skin is highly sensitive to UV rays. You must apply a broad-spectrum SPF daily, avoid direct sunlight, and keep the skin deeply moisturized with the specific products we recommend.

How often should I get a chemical peel?2026-04-08T23:53:59+00:00

Light peels can be done every 2 to 4 weeks for maintenance and a continuous glow. Medium-depth peels are typically spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, usually in a series of 3 to 6 sessions for transformative results.

Can I pull the peeling skin off?2026-04-08T23:53:59+00:00

No, absolutely not. It is critical that you let the skin shed naturally. Pulling or picking at the peeling skin can lead to permanent scarring and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.

Is a chemical peel safe for dark skin tones?2026-04-08T23:53:59+00:00

Yes, but it requires extreme clinical expertise. Certain acids are highly safe and effective for darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV-VI), while others can risk hyperpigmentation. Dr. Darío will carefully select the appropriate acid blend for your specific skin type.

What skin issues do chemical peels treat?2026-04-08T23:53:59+00:00

They are highly versatile and can treat fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, age spots, melasma, active acne, acne scarring, uneven skin tone, and rough texture.

Can I wear makeup after a chemical peel?2026-04-08T23:53:59+00:00

For superficial peels, you can usually wear makeup the next day. However, for medium peels, we strongly advise against wearing makeup while the skin is actively peeling to prevent infection and allow the skin to heal properly.

How long is the downtime?2026-04-08T23:53:59+00:00

Downtime varies by the strength of the peel. Superficial peels have zero to minimal downtime. Medium peels require about 5 to 7 days of “social downtime” while your skin actively sheds.

Will my face actually peel off?2026-04-08T23:53:59+00:00

It depends on the depth of the peel. Light peels may only cause mild flaking, similar to dry skin. Medium depth peels will result in visible peeling or shedding of the skin that typically starts on day 3 and lasts for a few days.

Are chemical peels painful?2026-04-08T23:53:59+00:00

Most patients experience a warm, tingling, or slightly stinging sensation during the application, which usually subsides after a few minutes or once the peel is neutralized. Deep peels may cause more warmth, but we ensure you are comfortable throughout the process.

What exactly is a Chemical Peel?2026-04-08T23:53:59+00:00

A chemical peel is a clinical treatment where a specialized, medical-grade acid solution is applied to the skin. This solution carefully removes the top layers of dead, damaged skin cells, encouraging the growth of fresh, new skin.
