Chemical peels are a proven skincare treatment designed to improve the appearance and texture of the skin by gently removing damaged outer layers. At Aqua Medical Spa, chemical peel treatments are used to address a variety of common skin concerns, including uneven tone, sun damage, acne scars, fine lines, and rough texture.
During a chemical peel, a carefully selected topical solution is applied to the skin to encourage controlled exfoliation and cellular renewal. As the treated skin naturally sheds and regenerates, healthier and smoother skin is revealed underneath. The result is a brighter, more refined complexion with improved clarity and tone.
Every patient’s skin is different, which is why our team begins with a comprehensive skin evaluation. Based on your skin type, current concerns, and aesthetic goals, our aestheticians will recommend the most appropriate peel strength and formulation to help you achieve the best possible results.
Aqua Medical Spa offers professional chemical peel treatments at our locations in Dothan, Madison, and Enterprise, Alabama; Gulf Breeze, Panama City Beach, Panama City, Santa Rosa Beach, Watersound, and Tallahassee, Florida; and Ellijay, Marietta, Tucker, and Alpharetta, Georgia.

Chemical peel treatments at Aqua Medical Spa typically take between 20 minutes and one hour, depending on the type of peel selected and the specific goals of your treatment. The strength of the solution and the number of applications used during the procedure will determine how deeply the peel works within the skin.
During the treatment, the peel solution is applied in controlled layers to encourage exfoliation and stimulate the skin’s natural renewal process. The depth of the treatment can vary from light surface peels that refresh the complexion to deeper peels designed to address more significant skin concerns.
After treatment, the skin may experience mild redness or peeling as the outer layers begin to shed and new skin cells develop. Our aestheticians will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help protect your skin and support proper healing throughout the renewal process.
During your consultation, our skincare specialists will discuss your concerns, evaluate your skin, and help determine the most effective chemical peel treatment to help you achieve healthier, smoother, and more radiant skin.
