Medical-grade peels expertly formulated and dosed for all Fitzpatrick skin types — including melanin-rich and brown skin. Brighter, smoother, more even skin is for everyone.
From fair to deep, our peels are chosen and customized based on your Fitzpatrick skin type to deliver results safely — with zero guesswork.
The Perfect Derma Peel's glutathione and kojic acid specifically protect melanin-rich skin during the exfoliation process — making it one of the safest and most effective peels for all skin tones.
We exclusively use the Perfect Derma Peel — a medical-grade peel proven safe and effective for all skin tones, including melanin-rich and brown skin.
The Perfect Derma Peel is the only medical-grade peel that includes glutathione — a master antioxidant that actively inhibits melanin production, making it uniquely effective and safe for all Fitzpatrick types I through VI, including brown and melanin-rich skin.
Its powerful blend of TCA, kojic acid, retinoic acid, salicylic acid, and glutathione works on multiple levels — exfoliating, brightening, resurfacing, and protecting all at once.
Chemical peels treat a wide range of skin concerns — and many of these conditions are especially prevalent in brown and melanin-rich skin.
Dark spots, uneven tone, and post-blemish marks that linger longer in darker skin tones due to higher melanin activity.
Very common in types IV–VIHormonal pigmentation often appearing on cheeks, forehead, and upper lip. Peels can significantly reduce melasma with the right protocol.
Common in brown & Latina skinDarkening left behind after acne, rashes, or injury — one of the most common and frustrating skin concerns for people with melanin-rich skin.
Primary concern in dark skinActive acne and congested pores respond well to the Perfect Derma Peel's salicylic acid component, which clears pore buildup and reduces acne-causing bacteria.
Rough, dull, or bumpy skin texture improves dramatically as peels exfoliate dead cells and encourage healthy cell turnover.
Early signs of aging, photodamage, and fine lines fade as deeper cell layers are revealed and collagen stimulated.
Many patients with darker skin tones have been told "you're not a candidate" or had a bad experience elsewhere. The truth is — when done correctly, peels are highly effective and safe for all skin tones. We know the difference.
Before any peel, we perform a thorough skin assessment using the Fitzpatrick scale to select the exact right peel type, depth, and concentration for your skin.
Darker skin is more prone to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation if peels are too aggressive. We use pre-treatment prep and gentle peels to protect your skin.
We use the Perfect Derma Peel — which includes glutathione, the only peel to do so — to safely and effectively treat hyperpigmentation and melasma across all Fitzpatrick types including IV–VI.
Post-peel care is critical. We send you home with specific instructions and products tailored to your skin tone to protect results and prevent darkening.
A safe, comfortable, and straightforward process from start to finish.
We assess your skin tone, concerns, and history. No peel is performed without this step — especially important for darker skin tones.
For some skin types, we recommend a short skin-prep phase to prime skin and reduce PIH risk before your first peel.
The peel solution is applied, left on briefly, then neutralized. You may feel mild tingling or warmth — nothing intense.
Over 3–7 days, skin may flake slightly as it renews. By day 7–10, your brighter, smoother skin is revealed.
Best results come from a series of 3–6 peels spaced 3–4 weeks apart. We build your custom peel plan at your consultation.
Every ingredient in the Perfect Derma Peel works together — exfoliating, brightening, and protecting your skin simultaneously.
