Achieving clearer, more radiant skin starts with addressing what sits on the surface. Years of sun exposure, breakouts, and environmental stress accumulate in the outermost skin layers, contributing to uneven tone, rough texture, and persistent pigmentation that basic skincare products struggle to correct. Glo Med Spa offers a comprehensive menu of medical-grade chemical peels in Austin, TX, designed to resurface the skin at the depth your specific concerns require. Whether you are dealing with stubborn acne scarring, sun-damaged skin from years of Texas heat, or simply want a brighter, smoother complexion, there is a peel on our menu tailored to your skin.
Selecting the right peel starts with understanding your skin, and that is exactly how we approach every appointment. Our clinic serves as a trusted destination for professional skin resurfacing, welcoming clients from downtown Austin and the surrounding communities of Cedar Park, Round Rock, and Leander.
A chemical peel is a skin resurfacing treatment that uses a carefully selected acid solution to dissolve the bonds holding damaged or dead skin cells to the surface. As those outer layers shed, the skin underneath is revealed: fresher, smoother, and more evenly toned. The depth of the peel, which determines how many layers are treated, is matched to the specific concerns being addressed and the client’s skin type and tolerance.
Medical-grade peels differ significantly from over-the-counter options. The formulations used at Glo Med Spa are professionally administered, meaning the concentration, application technique, and post-care protocol are all tailored to your skin. Before any peel is performed, our aestheticians assess your Fitzpatrick skin type, active concerns, and skincare history to select the most appropriate option. Our clinic is a top choice for professional treatment serving Round Rock and Leander, offering medical-grade treatments that go far beyond standard spa facials.
Not all Medical-grade peels work the same way. The right depth depends on your skin concerns, skin type, and recovery availability.
Superficial peels use mild acids to gently exfoliate the skin’s outermost layer with minimal downtime. Perfect for sensitive skin, general brightening, and texture maintenance, this category includes our Glycolic and Mandelic Acid Peels. The Mandelic option is especially safe for darker complexions, as its larger molecular structure penetrates slowly to prevent irritation.
Medium-depth facial peels reach the upper dermis to target stubborn concerns like moderate acne scarring, deeper pigmentation, and aging. Treatments like BioRePeelCl3™ and the Jessner Peel™ exfoliate while stimulating collagen for weeks afterward. Expect redness and peeling for three to five days, during which strict sun avoidance is essential.
Deep peels, like the TCA Peel™, penetrate the mid-dermis to treat significant concerns like deep wrinkles, pronounced scarring, and stubborn hyperpigmentation. While a single session can yield dramatic results, it requires careful pre-treatment preparation and up to a week of recovery. A thorough consultation is mandatory beforehand to ensure you are a candidate and properly condition your skin.
This multi-layered treatment is ideal for treating acne, sun damage, and pigmentation issues. The Jessner Peel™ combines salicylic, lactic acid, and resorcinol to enhance skin renewal.
Known for its deep exfoliation, the TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) Peel™ is excellent for treating stubborn skin concerns such as deep wrinkles, scars, and hyperpigmentation. It gives noticeable results after just one treatment.
A unique, two-phase treatment that combines exfoliation with a revitalizing treatment. BioRePeelCl3™ reduces signs of aging, improves skin texture, and treats acne while offering a comfortable, non-invasive experience with minimal downtime.
A gentle yet effective peel derived from bitter almonds, mandelic acid is known for treating acne and pigmentation while being safe for sensitive skin. It exfoliates without irritation, making it suitable for those with darker skin tones.
One of the most commonly used acids for this treatment, glycolic acid, exfoliates the skin’s surface to reduce fine lines, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation. It promotes a smoother, more even complexion.
Choosing the right peel is about more than depth. Matching the formula to your specific concern and skin type is what drives real results.
The Jessner Peel™ combines salicylic acid, lactic acid, and resorcinol to tackle active breakouts, excess oil, and post-acne pigmentation in a single treatment. It is one of the most effective multi-tasking options for acne-prone skin.
The TCA Peel™ and Glycolic Acid Peel are both well-suited for reducing the appearance of sun spots and the uneven tone that accumulates from years of Texas sun exposure.
For post-inflammatory marks and shallow scarring, the BioRePeelCl3™ and TCA Peel™ stimulate new collagen production in the weeks following treatment, gradually improving the appearance of scarred tissue.
The Mandelic Acid Peel is the gentlest option on our menu and is specifically recommended for clients with sensitive skin or Fitzpatrick skin types IV through VI, where stronger acids carry a higher risk of triggering post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Recovery time depends on the depth of your peel. Superficial peels involve minimal shedding, with most clients returning to their routine immediately. Medium-depth peels produce noticeable redness and peeling for 3 to 5 days, while deep peels require up to 1 week of recovery. Regardless of depth, SPF application after treatment is non-negotiable. Freshly resurfaced skin is highly vulnerable to UV damage, and unprotected sun exposure can reverse results or trigger new pigmentation. Detailed aftercare instructions are provided with every treatment.
Medical-grade results require more than the right product. At Glo Med Spa, our assessment-first process and curated peel menu ensure every treatment is matched precisely to your skin.
Our team is ready to build a resurfacing plan tailored to your skin, your goals, and your schedule.
This professional skin resurfacing works by applying a chemical solution to the skin to remove the outer layers, promoting the growth of new, healthier skin underneath. The process helps to improve texture and tone and reduce imperfections such as acne scars and hyperpigmentation.
This treatment may last 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the peel being performed. It’s a quick, non-invasive procedure with minimal downtime.
While mild discomfort or tingling may occur during treatment, most people find it tolerable. Some peels may cause a slight stinging feeling, but this subsides quickly.
The number of sessions you need will depend on your skin type and goals. For general skin rejuvenation, one treatment may suffice, but for conditions such as acne scars or deep wrinkles, a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart may be recommended.
We offer treatments suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin. We will analyze and assess your skin and select the best peel for your needs during the consultation.
Recovery will depend on the peel’s depth. There’s typically little to no downtime for superficial peels, while deeper peels may cause redness, peeling, and flaking for a few days. We will provide you with aftercare guidelines to ensure a smooth recovery.
