What is The Resurface
Peel System?
The Resurface Peel System is a medical-grade chemical peel treatment designed to deeply exfoliate the skin, stimulate cellular renewal, and correct common skin concerns such as hyperpigmentation, acne, texture irregularities, and fine lines.
​
Unlike over-the-counter peels, our system uses physician-strength formulations that penetrate multiple layers of the skin for visible, lasting results — safely and effectively under professional supervision.
​
At UltraTrim Wellness Clinic, each peel is selected and customized by a licensed provider based on your skin type, sensitivity, and treatment goals. Whether you're seeking a brighter complexion, smoother texture, or a solution for stubborn blemishes, The Resurface Peel System delivers controlled resurfacing with real results.
How The Resurface
Peel System Works
1. Comprehensive Skin Evaluation
​
Before your treatment, a licensed provider will assess your skin type, concerns, sensitivity level, and overall skin health. This ensures we select the ideal chemical solution and strength for safe, personalized results.
2. Custom Medical-Grade Peel Application
The Resurface Peel System utilizes a variety of professional acids and active ingredients — including TCA (trichloroacetic acid), glycolic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, mandelic acid, and retinoic compounds — to achieve controlled exfoliation and cellular turnover.
​
Your provider may use:
​
-
Light Peels: Gentle exfoliation with little to no downtime (great for glow + tone)
-
Medium Peels: Targets hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and fine lines
-
Advanced Peels: Deeper resurfacing for acne scars, melasma, and texture correction
​​
3. What Happens During the Treatment
-
Skin is cleansed and prepped
-
The peel solution is applied in layers based on your tolerance and goal
-
You may feel tingling, warmth, or a mild stinging sensation during application
-
A neutralizer or calming serum may be applied to complete the process
​
​4. Post-Treatment Response
-
Light peeling or flaking begins within 1–3 days depending on depth
-
Skin typically renews fully within 5–10 days, revealing smoother, brighter, clearer skin
Who Performs
This Treatment?
Performed By Licensed Medical Providers
​
All Resurface Peel treatments at UltraTrim Wellness Clinic are performed by licensed medical providers or licensed aestheticians working under the supervision of our Medical Director.
​
Because medical-grade chemical peels involve active compounds and deeper skin penetration than spa-level treatments, proper technique, skin assessment, and safety monitoring are critical to ensuring effective — and safe — results.
​
Our providers are trained in skin type analysis, peel layering protocols, and post-care management, ensuring each treatment is customized to your skin’s condition and tolerance.
​
You’re not just getting a facial — you’re receiving a clinically backed resurfacing procedure designed to renew your skin with precision and professionalism.
What To Expect
The Resurface Peel System is designed to safely remove damaged outer layers of skin, revealing a brighter, clearer, and more even-toned complexion underneath. Whether you're targeting breakouts, dullness, fine lines, or dark spots — this treatment delivers transformative results with minimal downtime.
​
Most clients experience visible improvements after a single session, with enhanced outcomes from a series of peels over time.

Before and After Care Instructions
Preparing for Your Treatment
​
Before Your Resurface Peel:​
​
-
Avoid Exfoliants:
Discontinue use of retinoids, AHAs, BHAs, and scrubs for 5–7 days prior to treatment.
​
-

​
​
Aftercare Guidelines
​
Post-Treatment (Days 1–10):​
​
-
Do Not Pick or Peel:
Let flaking or peeling skin slough off naturally to avoid scarring or hyperpigmentation.

Stick to a basic cleanser, moisturizer, and broad-spectrum SPF 30+. Avoid active ingredients.
​
-
Avoid Heat & Sweat:
Refrain from hot showers, saunas, and intense workouts for 48–72 hours.
​
-
Stay Out of the Sun:
Sun exposure during the peeling process can cause pigmentation. Always use SPF and wear a hat when outdoors.
​
-
Expect Peeling or Flushing:
Flaking, dryness, redness, and sensitivity are normal for a few days post-treatment, especially with deeper peels.
​
-
Follow Custom Instructions:
Your provider will give you a post-peel care card tailored to your specific peel strength and skin type.
