frequently asked
questions

Are Beta Hydroxy Peels available at all Skin Renewal branches?
What is a chemical peel?

A chemical peel is a resurfacing treatment that uses acids to exfoliate the skin, remove dead cells, and stimulate cell renewal, improving skin texture, tone, and clarity.

What types of chemical peels are available?

There are three main types:

  • Superficial Peels – Mild exfoliation, little to no downtime.
  • Medium Peels – Deeper penetration for sun damage and pigmentation.
  • Deep Peels – Intense exfoliation is recommended for deep wrinkles and scars.
Are chemical peels safe?

Yes, chemical peels are safe when performed by a trained professional. However, certain skin types, medical conditions, or medications may require a consultation before treatment.

How long does a chemical peel take?

The treatment usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the type of peel and skin concerns. At Skin Renewal, we combine chemical peels with other treatments, such as laser treatments, Carboxytherapy, and PDT, increasing the treatment time.

Is there downtime after a chemical peel?

Downtime varies by peel type:

  • Superficial Peels – Minimal redness, no downtime
  • Medium Peels – Mild peeling, recovery in 3–7 days
  • Deep Peels – More intense peeling, recovery in 7–14 days


What should you expect after a chemical peel?
  • Temporary redness, flaking, or peeling (varies by peel strength).
  • The skin may feel tight or sensitive.
  • Results improve over several days as new skin emerges.
Who should avoid chemical peels?

Chemical peels may not be suitable for individuals with:

  • Active skin infections or open wounds
  • Severe rosacea or extremely sensitive skin
  • Recent sunburn
  • Pregnancy or certain medical conditions

These contra-indications will be discussed during your initial doctor's consultation at Skin Renewal.

Lizanne is die terapeut wat my gereeld behandel. Ek geniet dit baie om na hierdie kliniek te kom. Die dames is baie vriendlik en hulle voel al soos my vriendinne. Die diens is uitstekend en die behandeling is uiters professioneel en ek ontspan heerlik. Ek sal dit vir enige een aan beveel.

I am happy with the service. I have been consulting with Larushka and Dr for 9 months now. Thus far I can see positive results and they always call after treatment and check if everything is ok. The front line staff are also welcoming and I enjoy coming here for my treatment. The products Dr recommended are working fine and there are no complaints.

From the first time I got to Skin Renewal Brooklyn, being black and a male not knowing much about beauty stuff, the staff made me feel at home. Their patience and attention to customers issues is top notch! I used to visit another practice but I don't think I well move to another one. Everybody is like family here now.

I have been suffering from acne for almost 20 years now. I have been on Roaccutane which worked for 2 years and then the acne came back. Skin Renewal has offered me a solution which has produced amazing results. Including safe laser treatment for black skin. Doctor Burt listens to your feedback honestly and adjusts treatment where necessary. My therapist has been amazing. Overall world class service and results.

I came to Skin Renewal in desperation to clear my skin. I was insecure (and being an actress that's a NO NO) What was i going to do about the little monstrosities making horribly timed appearances all over my face!! But the doctors and therapists at Skin Renewal helped me out. I got the perfect program from deep cleanse facials, to peels and my skin became gorgeous again. Even to the point of wearing little to no make up. The team at Skin Renewal renewed my confidence and skin! Thank you.

Acne and pigmentation in the 40's is a trail. Thankfully I found Skin Renewal through 'Google'. I have been very pleased with the treatment at the Fourways branch. Beverley, my therapist, is an Angel except when the stuff she puts on my face burns like I am in Hades. But she is wonderfully reassuring and gentle and I am seeing the results. Very happy with my care treatment

Tammy het my dadelik laat welkom voel. Ek waardeer die professionele en vriendelike wyse waarop sy ons sessies hanteer. Elke behandeling is persoonlik en spreek my unieke behoeftes aan en Tammy doen baie moeite om 'n ontspanne en rustige atmorsfeer te skep. Ek sien uit na my volgende behandelings.
