Facials and Chemical Peel Treatments in Victoria BC

Customized Skin Solutions for Real Results

At Vitality Laser Clinic in Victoria BC, we focus on results-driven skin treatments tailored to your unique needs. Whether you’re looking for a gentle facial to maintain healthy skin or a chemical peel to correct deeper concerns like acne, pigmentation, or sun damage, we offer private, one-on-one treatments designed to help you achieve smoother, clearer, healthier skin — without pressure, sales tactics, or cookie-cutter services.

What’s the Difference Between a Facial and a Chemical Peel?

Facials are great for hydration, gentle exfoliation, and routine maintenance. Chemical peels do the heavy lifting — targeting acne, pigmentation, fine lines, and texture issues with medical-grade exfoliation that produces visible results. Facials, on the other hand, are a nice maintenance treatment between more corrective services like peels, microneedling, or laser.

Benefits of Chemical Peel Treatments in Victoria BC

Post-inflammatory pigmentation (dark marks after breakouts)

Thickened, keratinized, or textured skin

We have different peels available for different skin concerns, and we select each peel based on your skin type, lifestyle, and goals — from gentler antioxidant peels (ideal for sensitive skin) to more targeted pigmentation-correcting options. In some cases, we may recommend combining your chemical peel treatment with microneedling or laser skin rejuvenation for enhanced collagen stimulation, deeper texture refinement, and more noticeable tone correction. Chemical peels can also be customized for the body and intimate areas — such as the underarms, bikini line, or vulva — to help refine, brighten, and even the skin tone safely and effectively.

What Ingredients Are Used in Our Peels?

Chemical peels at Vitality Laser Clinic use a range of professional ingredients, including:

AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids): Glycolic, lactic, mandelic, tartaric, citric
BHAs (Beta Hydroxy Acids): Salicylic
TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid): Medium-depth resurfacing
AFA (Amino Acid Filaggrin Antioxidants): Gentle antioxidant-rich exfoliation
Additional actives: Tranexamic acid, resorcinol, phytic acid, azelaic acid, kojic acid, arbutin, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), amino acids, peptides, and antioxidants that support skin renewal and collagen production.

Every peel is customized — no “one size fits all” formulas here.

What Results Can You Expect?

Most clients notice smoother, brighter skin within a week of their first peel. Pigmentation and acne scarring often improve after a series of 3–6 treatments spaced 2–6 weeks apart. Fine lines, uneven tone, and overall skin resilience continue to improve over several sessions as collagen renewal builds.

Light, superficial peels give a refreshing glow with minimal downtime. Medium to deeper peels are chosen for correcting more stubborn pigmentation, texture, or scarring — with visible peeling and longer recovery, but more dramatic results.

What to Expect After a Chemical Peel

Downtime depends on the strength of the peel. Some treatments cause mild redness and light flaking for a few days, while deeper peels may result in more significant peeling, sensitivity, and redness lasting up to two weeks. Some advanced protocols may involve peeling and sensitivity for several weeks, with skin renewal continuing for up to a month.

The Vitality Laser Clinic Difference

At Vitality Laser Clinic, we focus on real results — not just pampering experiences. If you’re looking for candles, waterfalls, and a nap, you might be happier at a day spa. If you’re looking for clear, healthy, vibrant skin — with real, science-backed treatments — that’s exactly what we deliver. Our goal is simple: to help you feel confident and comfortable in your own skin with treatments that actually make a difference.

Chemical peels and microdermabrasion are both exfoliating treatments, but at different intensities. Chemical peels go deeper to correct acne, pigmentation, and early signs of aging — sometimes with a little downtime. Microdermabrasion is surface-level and very gentle, with no downtime. Some clients choose one or the other, while others alternate them for balanced results.

Frequently Asked Questions About Facials and Chemical Peels

Why does pH matter in chemical peels?

The pH level controls how deeply a peel penetrates. A lower pH makes the peel stronger and more aggressive, while a higher pH makes it gentler. For example, glycolic acid at pH 2 penetrates much more deeply than the same glycolic concentration at pH 4. Both the acid type and the pH together determine how effective — and how safe — a peel will be.

Who should not get a chemical peel?

Active skin infections (herpes, warts, impetigo)
Open wounds or broken skin
Recent Accutane use (within 6–12 months)
Uncontrolled diabetes or poor wound healing
Pregnancy or breastfeeding
Very recent sunburn or tanning
History of keloid scarring (depending on peel depth)

Are chemical peels safe for sensitive skin?

Yes. Lighter peels and AFAs can be excellent for sensitive skin. During consultation, we’ll match the right peel to your skin type.

How many treatments will I need?

Most clients see improvement after 1 peel, but a series of 3–6 peels spaced 2–6 weeks apart provides the best long-term results.
