Professional Peels That Reveal Your Best Skin Yet

Calhoun’s sunny days and Southern pace are good for the soul—but not always for your skin. If long hours outside, daily stress, or past breakouts have left behind dullness, uneven tone, or rough patches, Southern Surgical Arts in Calhoun offers a solution that goes deeper than store-bought scrubs.

Our custom chemical peels are overseen by board-certified cosmetic surgeons and delivered by licensed medical aestheticians in our state-accredited facility. Whether you want a no-downtime glow for the weekend or targeted help for sunspots, acne scars, or texture issues, we’ll tailor the perfect formula to your skin goals and lifestyle.

Schedule your complimentary Calhoun consultation today and see how quickly fresh, radiant skin can become your new baseline.

What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel uses specially formulated acids to exfoliate dead skin cells and jumpstart regeneration below the surface. By gently removing damaged layers, a peel improves tone, texture, and clarity while stimulating collagen and elastin—your skin’s natural support network.

At our Calhoun medspa, we customize each peel using medical-grade ingredients like lactic acid, TCA, salicylic acid, or glycolic blends—selected based on your skin type, sensitivity, and goals. Whether you’re targeting acne, sun damage, or fine lines, our peels are designed for results without harsh recovery.

Your Complimentary Peel Consultation

Pigmentation
UV damage
Pore congestion
Texture and tone

From there, we’ll match you with the best peel formula, explain the pre- and post-care steps, and create a schedule that works with your calendar and skincare goals.

Types of Chemical Peels We Offer in Calhoun

Glow-Boosting Lactic Peel

A gentle blend of lactic and mandelic acids to hydrate and brighten—great before events or to maintain glow between deeper treatments.

Jessner’s Acne + Clarity Peel

A mid-depth formula targeting congestion and oil with salicylic, lactic, and resorcinol—ideal for breakout-prone or textured skin.

TCA Refining Peel

Customized strengths of trichloroacetic acid to soften sun damage, lighten pigment, and smooth fine lines with 3–5 days of controlled peeling.

Custom Cocktail Peel

For complex skin concerns, we mix acids like glycolic, salicylic, kojic, and brighteners into a bespoke treatment plan designed for multiple issues at once.

After Your Peel: What to Expect

Post-peel, your skin might feel tight or look flushed. Flaking usually starts by day 2 for medium-depth peels, and ends by day 5–6. Lighter peels may show almost no visible shedding.

Do’s:

Use gentle cleansers and hydrating serums
Apply SPF daily and reapply as needed
Moisturize generously and avoid exfoliation

Don’ts:

Don’t pick or peel flaking skin
Avoid hot showers, saunas, or sweating for 48 hours
Skip retinoids, scrubs, or makeup for 24–48 hours unless approved

Results You’ll Love

You’ll start to see smoother texture and a fresh glow once peeling subsides. Over time, your skin will continue to improve as collagen production increases. For long-term transformation, we recommend a series of 3–6 peels spaced about 3–6 weeks apart, especially when combined with injectables, microneedling, or BBL.
