Ready to shed the old and welcome a new, fresh glow?
Chemical peels are a proven way to smooth, brighten, and refresh your complexion by gently lifting away the buildup that dulls your shine. At Metro Medspa in St. Louis, we offer a range of peels — from light refreshers to deeper, corrective options — each selected to match your skin’s needs and your goals. Whether you’re looking to improve texture, soften lines, fade discoloration, or simply boost radiance, we’ll create a peel plan designed for visible results and a comfortable experience from start to finish.
A chemical peel is a skin resurfacing treatment that involves the application of a chemical solution to remove the top layer of your skin to reveal smoother, radiant, and younger-looking skin from within. At Metro Medspa, we offer a range of peels, from light and lovely refreshers to deeper treatments that tackle more stubborn concerns. Your provider will select the ideal peel to suit your skin's unique characteristics and your desired glow-up.
Chemical peels are typically divided into three categories based on their strength and how deeply they penetrate the skin. At Metro MedSpa, we offer options within each level to match your skin concerns, goals, and desired downtime.
Ideal for a quick refresh, light peels use gentle acids to exfoliate the outermost layer of skin, improve radiance, and smooth texture. They can help reduce mild breakouts, refine pores, and enhance the results of your regular facial treatments with little to no downtime.
Medium-depth peels reach deeper into the skin to target more noticeable concerns like fine lines, mild to moderate pigmentation, acne scarring, and uneven tone. They’re perfect for clients looking for visible improvement with only a few days of mild peeling or flaking.
Our most intensive peel option addresses more advanced signs of aging, stubborn pigmentation, and pronounced texture concerns. These peels penetrate the deeper skin layers to deliver dramatic results in just one treatment, with a longer recovery period for optimal skin renewal.
Stepping into your chemical peel session at Metro Medspa is a breeze. We’re all about making your treatment experience as comfortable and successful as possible! First, your skin specialist will assess your skin goals to help you select the perfect peel strength and type. Once your skin is prepped, the peel solution is carefully applied using sterilized applicators.
The treatment is virtually painless! It is completely normal to experience a slight tingling sensation throughout the procedure, and this usually subsides soon after the procedure is complete. After the solution has done its job, it's either neutralized or simply washed away, and we'll apply soothing aftercare. Custom chemical peels offer a straightforward path to fresh, beautiful skin!

Chemical Peel Benefits
If you’re looking for a brighter, smoother, and more even complexion, a chemical peel could be your perfect fit. This treatment is excellent for tackling dullness, fine lines, sun spots, and uneven texture. While peels are highly versatile, we’ll always have an open and honest conversation to make sure it’s right for your skin. We may recommend waiting if you have certain active skin conditions, very sensitive skin, or if you’re pregnant or breastfeeding. At Metro Medapa, your provider will guide you through the process with both expertise and genuine care.
After your chemical peel session, what you can expect depends on the strength of your peel. Light peels may cause mild redness, similar to a light blush, that typically fades within a few hours. Medium peels can lead to redness, sensitivity, and mild flaking or peeling over several days — all of which are completely normal. Advanced peels, such as our VI Peel, often involve more noticeable peeling that begins a few days after treatment and can last up to a week. This is part of your skin’s natural renewal process, revealing fresher, healthier skin underneath. Your provider will give you detailed aftercare instructions and skin care regimen to ensure a smooth, comfortable recovery and optimal results.
With lighter peels, you may notice brighter, smoother skin within 2 to 5 days. Medium and advanced peels typically deliver more dramatic improvements within one to two weeks as the skin naturally sheds and reveals fresh layers. The best part? Your results continue to develop as new collagen is produced in the weeks that follow!
That post-peel glow can last from several weeks to a few months, depending on the strength of your peel and how your skin responds. For ongoing radiance, many clients choose to make chemical peels part of their regular skincare routine — either in a series or through one of our Confidence Club memberships.
You can expect skin that feels soft, smooth, and beautifully refined. Tone appears more even, your complexion looks brighter, and your skin has a renewed vitality that boosts confidence. It’s all about loving the skin you’re in — and feeling fresh, polished, and radiant.
When performed by skilled, experienced hands, a chemical peel can safely deliver smoother, fresher, more radiant skin that looks as good as it feels. Whether you’re targeting specific concerns or simply want to elevate your glow, chemical peels are a powerful option.
At Metro MedSpa in St. Louis, our expert team knows that no two complexions are alike. We’ll create a personalized peel plan tailored to your skin type, tone, and goals — so you can count on results that are not only visible but also uniquely yours. Here, it’s all about pairing advanced treatments with genuine care, ensuring your skin gets the VIP treatment it deserves.
Most clients describe chemical peels as a warm or tingly sensation on the skin, which subsides quickly. The experience varies with the peel's strength, but it's generally very tolerable!
For the best and most lasting results, we often recommend a series of 3 to 6 chemical peel sessions, spaced a few weeks apart. This allows for progressive skin improvement and a truly radiant glow. Your provider will craft a personalized plan for you.
For light peels, you can typically apply makeup the very next day. For advanced peels, your provider may recommend waiting a few extra days to allow your skin to breathe and heal. We'll provide you with all the specific guidance you need after the peel.
A chemical peel uses a solution to exfoliate the top layers of skin, addressing tone, texture, and discoloration. Microneedling uses tiny needles to stimulate collagen from deeper layers, focusing more on texture, scars, and firmness. Both are amazing, and sometimes even complement each other!
You can definitely get certain chemical peels in the summer! Lighter peels are often fine year-round, as long as you're super diligent with sunscreen. For advanced peels, we might recommend waiting until cooler months when sun exposure is less intense. Your provider will guide you to the perfect peel for the season.
To keep that fresh, radiant glow lasting, consistency is key! Continue with a great daily skincare routine curated by provider always use sunscreen, and consider regular maintenance peels or other complementary treatments. Our Confidence Club memberships are perfect for staying on top of your skin goals!
Peeling varies from person to person and can even be different each time you have a peel. The amount of visible peeling depends on the strength of the peel and how your skin responds. Regardless of how much you peel, the treatment is still working beneath the surface to renew and refresh your skin!
