Chemical Peels in Houston & San Antonio, TX
DermaTouch RN offers minimally invasive treatments for men and women in Houston, San Antonio, Spring and Cypress, as well as the surrounding areas of Texas. We are the largest aesthetic practice in the Houston area, and all our medical spa treatments are performed by a team of nurse practitioners, registered nurses, and aestheticians who receive continuing education to remain abreast of emerging treatments that benefit our patients. We offer light, medium, and deep chemical peels.
What Are Chemical Peels?
A chemical peel treatment uses a special chemical solution to remove damaged skin cells. Peels are available in light, medium, and deep options. A light chemical peel, also called superficial peels, exfoliates the skin with glycolic acid, salicylic acid, or lactic acid. A medium and deep peel is recommended for wrinkles, sun damage, acne scarring, uneven skin tone, and other issues that originate in the middle and deep layers of skin.
Types of Chemical Peels Offered
At DermaTouch RN, we offer a specialized selection of chemical peels tailored to address a variety of skin concerns and goals. Each peel is formulated to target specific conditions, from sun damage and pigmentation to acne and fine lines, providing options suitable for all skin types and lifestyles.
VI Peel Precision Plus
The VI Peel Precision Plus is a medium-depth, powerhouse peel meticulously designed to minimize the appearance of skin discoloration, including sun spots, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This peel utilizes a unique combination of potent ingredients, like hydroquinone, TCA, and retinol, to suppress excess melanin production and promote rapid cell turnover. The result is a significantly brighter and more even complexion, often with visible improvements in as little as seven days. It is safe for all skin types and gentle enough for delicate areas such as the neck, chest, and hands.
VI Peel Purify
VI Peel Purify is formulated specifically for those with acne-prone or oily skin. This peel’s blend of salicylic acid, retinol, and antioxidants targets active acne and helps to clear clogged pores, reduce oil production, and ease inflammation. By thoroughly exfoliating both the skin’s surface and within the pores, VI Peel Purify works to prevent future breakouts and diminish acne-related redness or scarring, helping restore a clear, balanced complexion.
SkinMedica Illuminize Peel
The SkinMedica Illuminize Peel is the gentlest option among SkinMedica’s line, ideal for first-time chemical peel patients or anyone seeking a radiant boost. Using a careful combination of alpha-hydroxy acids (such as glycolic and lactic acid) and brightening agents, this peel enhances skin clarity, tone, and texture with little to no downtime. The Illuminize Peel helps diminish minor imperfections and fine lines, making it perfect for those who want a rejuvenated glow before special events.
SkinMedica Rejuvenize Peel
The SkinMedica Rejuvenize Peel offers a deeper, more comprehensive solution for moderate to severe skin imperfections. It blends powerful acids to penetrate the skin’s layers, helping to smooth wrinkles, reduce the visibility of acne scars, and correct stubborn hyperpigmentation. Patients typically see a noticeable transformation in skin texture and clarity, with more dramatic results than milder peels. While there is a slightly longer recovery period, this peel is a preferred choice for those seeking significant skin renewal.
SkinMedica Vitalize Peel
Balancing effective results with minimal downtime, the SkinMedica Vitalize Peel targets mild to moderate skin concerns such as fine lines, uneven texture, and pigmentation problems. Utilizing a combination of salicylic acid, lactic acid, and resorcinol, this mid-strength peel stimulates collagen production and accelerates cellular turnover for a revitalized, youthful complexion. It’s an excellent option for individuals ready to take their skin to the next level with a proven, multi-action formula.
How Much Do Chemical Peels Cost?
The average cost of our chemical peels is $75 to $275. We can provide more details about the cost during the consultation after we work with you to develop a personalized chemical peeling treatment plan. We offer free consultations for all non-surgical body contouring procedures. All other consultations cost $50, which we apply towards the cost of your chemical peels.

We also offer financing options from Cherry, CareCredit®, and Alle. You can apply online before your consultation and receive a decision within minutes.
Am I a Candidate for Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are safe for most skin types and textures. Some peels, like a deep chemical peel, may disrupt the pigmentation of the skin. Pregnant women should not have chemical peels. If you have sensitive skin, we may recommend another treatment.
How Are Chemical Peels Performed?
For your chemical peel, we cleanse the skin and apply a solution. The solution stays on your skin for a period of time before we apply a neutralizing solution that stops the chemical process. If you are having a chemical peel to help reduce acne scars, we may apply the solution to an isolated area of your face or the entire face.
What is Recovery Like After Chemical Peels?
Light chemical peels do not require downtime, and most patients are able to return to their normal daily activities without restriction immediately following treatment. Medium and deep peels, however, do require downtime. When you come in for a consultation, we explain aftercare and what to expect during recovery.
How Long Will Chemical Peel Results Last?
Light peels can be repeated monthly, which may be recommended depending on your skin’s condition and ultimate cosmetic goals. Medium peels can be repeated every six months. Deep chemical peels cannot be repeated.
