Skin Peel Treatments

Dr. Kristina Zakhary performs two types of professional chemical peels in Calgary:

Light Chemical Peel — a low-concentration peel that does not penetrate deeply. It offers approximately 10–15% improvement in skin colour and texture. This peel is gentle and typically repeated monthly for optimal results.
Medium Chemical Peel — a moderate-strength peel that penetrates deeper into the skin, providing a more noticeable 15–25% improvement in skin texture and pigmentation. It requires less frequent sessions but involves a slightly longer downtime.

Chemical peels are among the safest and most effective non-surgical treatments to refresh the complexion. They work by applying a specialized solution that gently exfoliates the damaged outer layers while stimulating new, healthy skin cell growth.

As the older skin sheds, your complexion becomes brighter, smoother, and more even, reducing fine lines and areas of discoloration.

Treatment Benefits

Beyond improving overall skin tone and texture, chemical peels can reduce sun damage, mild acne scarring, blotchiness, dryness, and early signs of aging.

They can also stimulate long-term collagen production, contributing to firmer, more resilient skin. Many patients pair chemical peels with medical-grade skincare, microneedling, or injectables for enhanced results.

Before treatment, Dr. Zakhary performs a thorough assessment of your skin type, goals, and current routine. She explains expected outcomes, recommends aftercare, and selects the most appropriate peel strength for your needs—ensuring a safe, effective, and customized experience.

After your peel, you may experience temporary redness, tightness, or light flaking as your skin renews itself. These effects typically resolve within a few days depending on peel strength.

Proper sun protection and consistent skincare are essential to maintain your results and protect the freshly renewed skin. When performed by an experienced Facial Cosmetic Surgeon like Dr. Kristina Zakhary, chemical peels provide a predictable, reliable way to achieve smoother, clearer, and healthier-looking skin.
