What is Chemical peel?
A chemical peel is like hitting refresh on your skin. Using a carefully chosen blend of acids, this treatment gently dissolves the outer layer of dead, tired skin cells to reveal the smoother, healthier skin beneath. At Nios Spa in NYC, we customize the strength of each peel—whether you’re dipping your toes in with a light exfoliation or going deeper for more dramatic renewal. Chemical peels improve tone, brighten dullness, and encourage collagen production, all while helping to soften fine lines and fade stubborn spots. Don’t let the word “peel” scare you—this isn’t a one-size-fits-all skin strip. Modern peels are safe, effective, and tailored to your skin’s needs, making them a great way to restore radiance.
Chemical peels deliver gradual yet noticeable improvements in both the look and feel of your skin.

Who Is the Chemical peel For?
Chemical peels are a targeted treatment that can suit a wide range of skin concerns. Here’s a breakdown to help you decide if this facial might be the right fit for your skin.
How does Chemical peel Work?
Every skin journey deserves a clear roadmap. Our resurfacing chemical peel facial is designed to be straightforward, safe, and effective.
Here are the steps so you know exactly what to expect from start to finish:
-
01
Consultation & Skin Check
Every treatment begins with a professional assessment to understand your skin type, goals, and any sensitivities.
-
02
Preparation
Skin is gently cleansed and prepped so the peel can work effectively.
-
03
Chemical Peel Application
A customized peel is applied to encourage cell renewal and gently exfoliate the surface layer of skin.
-
04
Soothing & Hydration
Calming products are used to rebalance and support the skin after the peel.
-
05
Protection & Guidance
The session ends with SPF and tailored aftercare advice, so your results last beyond the treatment room.
aftercare
A peel gives you that “new skin” energy — but aftercare is what makes results last.
For the first few days, treat your skin gently: think hydrating serums, lightweight moisturizers, and SPF (non-negotiable). Skip the heavy workouts, saunas, and exfoliating scrubs—your fresh skin needs time to settle in. You may notice light flaking or pinkness, but that’s just your skin renewing itself. Within a week, you’ll notice clearer, smoother texture and an enviable glow. If you have any questions after the facial, don't hesitate to ask our certified estheticians to give you tailored post-care instructions so you can maximize your results without guesswork. Follow them, and your skin will thank you with the kind of radiance that makes people ask, “Did you just get back from vacation?”

Your Questions,
Our Answers!
-
Will my skin peel off like in the movies?
Not quite—our modern formulas exfoliate gently. You may experience light flaking, not horror-movie shedding.
-
How often should I get a chemical peel?
For best results, every 4–6 weeks. We can recommend a personalized plan after your first treatment.
-
Is it painful?
Most clients feel mild tingling or warmth. Nothing dramatic—more “spicy tingle” than “ouch.”
-
Can I wear makeup after?
We recommend waiting 24 hours to let your skin breathe. After that, your foundation will glide on smoother than ever.
-
What skin types can benefit?
Most! From oily to combination to dry, peels can be customized. If you’re highly sensitive, we’ll adjust your treatment accordingly.
-
How soon will I see results?
Immediately—you’ll notice a post-facial glow right away, with longer-term improvements in tone and texture after multiple sessions.
