Chemical Peels
Reveal Fresh, Clear Skin with Chemical Peels for Sun Spots and Sun Damage
Sun damage has a way of creeping up on you—what starts as a few freckles or patches of dullness can turn into stubborn spots, uneven tone, and rough texture that no skincare product can fix. Many clients tell us they feel like they’ve aged overnight or lost their skin’s glow. At Aesthetic Lab, serving Modesto, Turlock, and Stockton, CA, we use our signature sun spot reset protocol, featuring medical-grade chemical peels, to resurface damaged skin and restore brightness and clarity.
Chemical peels exfoliate the outermost layers of skin, targeting sun-induced discoloration and jumpstarting cell turnover. Over time, untreated sun damage can lead to darker pigmentation, rough patches, and early wrinkles. Start your skin renewal today—book your free chemical peel consultation and experience the confidence that comes with healthier, even-toned skin.

FAQS
How do chemical peels help with sun spots and sun damage?
Chemical peels remove the damaged top layers of skin, which often contain sun-induced pigmentation. This allows newer, healthier skin to surface—reducing the appearance of sun spots, rough patches, and uneven tone over time.
Are chemical peels safe for treating sun damage on all skin types?
Chemical peels can be safely used on many skin types. At Aesthetic Lab, we offer customized peel options and adjust formulations to match your skin tone, sun damage level, and sensitivity to avoid irritation and maximize results.
How many chemical peels are needed to reduce sun damage?
Clients often notice improvement after one treatment, but multiple sessions may be recommended for deeper sun spots or long-term damage. We’ll create a plan based on your skin’s condition and how it responds to each peel.
What should I avoid after a chemical peel for sun spots?
Avoid sun exposure, heat, exfoliation, and harsh products for several days after treatment. Stick to a gentle skincare routine and wear sunscreen daily. This supports healing and protects your results from further sun-related harm.
Can chemical peels prevent new sun spots from forming?
Chemical peels do not prevent new sun spots, but they help create healthier, more resilient skin. Combined with daily SPF use and smart sun habits, regular peels can significantly reduce the appearance of future damage and maintain skin clarity.
