Our Chemical Peel Service

A chemical peel is one of the most effective and versatile skin rejuvenation treatments available today. By carefully removing damaged outer layers of skin, chemical peels reveal fresh, healthy skin beneath, improving texture, tone, and overall radiance. At Livia Med Spa in Tampa, we offer a variety of customized chemical peel treatments designed to target your specific skin concerns, from acne scars and fine lines to sun damage and hyperpigmentation.

Our experienced aestheticians take a personalized approach to every peel, selecting the ideal formula and strength for your skin type and goals. Whether you’re seeking to brighten dull skin, smooth rough texture, or reduce visible signs of aging, chemical peels can provide noticeable results with minimal downtime, making them a popular choice for clients in Tampa looking for effective, non-invasive skin renewal.

What Is Chemical Peel and How Does It Work?

Chemical peels involve the application of a specially formulated acid solution to the skin, which works by exfoliating the outermost layers. This controlled exfoliation process encourages the skin to shed dead cells and stimulates the natural regeneration process, leading to increased collagen production and improved skin elasticity.

There are several types of chemical peels, typically categorized by their strength and depth of penetration:

  • Light (superficial) peels: Usually contain alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) like glycolic acid or lactic acid. These gently exfoliate the surface, ideal for mild skin concerns such as dullness or minor unevenness.

  • Medium peels: Often use trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or stronger glycolic acid concentrations to penetrate deeper layers, effectively treating moderate sun damage, acne scars, and fine lines.

  • Deep peels: These are stronger, more intensive treatments used for significant skin damage and deep wrinkles but require longer recovery and are typically performed less frequently.

At Livia Med Spa, we primarily focus on light to medium peels that safely deliver excellent results for most clients with minimal downtime.

WHat Does Chemical Peel Treat?

Chemical peels use specially formulated acid solutions to exfoliate the skin’s outer layers, promoting the shedding of dead cells and stimulating collagen production for improved elasticity and texture.

They come in different strengths:

  • Light peels use alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) like glycolic or lactic acid for gentle exfoliation, ideal for mild concerns like dullness or uneven skin.

  • Medium peels often use trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or stronger AHAs to treat moderate sun damage, acne scars, and fine lines by penetrating deeper layers.

  • Deep peels are intensive treatments for severe skin damage and deep wrinkles, requiring longer recovery and less frequent application.

At Livia Med Spa, we focus on light to medium peels that provide effective results with minimal downtime.

Before & After

Chemical Peel Before And After

Clients who receive a chemical peel in Tampa at Livia Med Spa often notice visible improvements within just a few days. Before treatment, the skin may appear dull, uneven, or affected by acne, sun damage, or fine lines. After a customized chemical peel—whether it’s light, medium, or a VI Peel—skin looks noticeably smoother, brighter, and more balanced. Many clients experience a refined texture, reduced discoloration, and a youthful, healthy glow. The results continue to improve over time as cell turnover increases and collagen production is boosted.

Chemical Peel Recovery Time and Aftercare

Recovery time after a chemical peel varies depending on the peel strength:

  • Light peels typically cause mild redness and superficial flaking that lasts 2 to 4 days. You can usually resume normal activities immediately with proper skincare and sun protection.

  • Medium peels may lead to more noticeable peeling, redness, and sensitivity lasting up to a week. It’s important to avoid sun exposure and follow aftercare instructions carefully.

  • Most clients experience progressive improvement in skin tone and texture, with visible brightening and smoothing within one week.

With repeated treatments, chemical peels offer cumulative benefits—reducing the appearance of scars, pigmentation irregularities, and wrinkles while promoting long-term skin health.

During your recovery, it’s essential to use gentle skincare products, keep your skin hydrated, and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to protect your new skin.

The VI Peel

Livia Med Spa is proud to offer the VI Peel, one of the most advanced chemical peel solutions available. This medium-depth peel combines TCA, retinoic acid, salicylic acid, and vitamin C to address issues like acne scars, melasma, fine lines, and sun damage—all with minimal downtime. The VI Peel is safe for all skin types and tones and is applied by our licensed providers with precision and care. Within days, you’ll notice improved texture, clarity, and a visibly brighter, more even complexion.

How Much Does Chemical Peel Cost?

Chemical peel treatments at Livia Med Spa range from $200 to $300 per session, depending on the size of the treatment area and the specific peel performed. We offer the popular VI Peel, known for its effectiveness in treating a variety of skin concerns with minimal downtime.

During your consultation, we’ll recommend the best peel type and pricing based on your skin’s needs and desired results.

Angie is great. Communicates everything throughout the entire process! I did Botox on my forehead, crows feet and smile lines! This was my first time and I was nervous I’d look frozen. This is the best decision I have ever made regarding my appearance. I look and feel 15 years younger. I will continue to go back to her!

I was referred to Angie by my doctors office. I have been thinking about weight loss management for quite some time but I have extreme health anxiety. Health anxiety makes me worry about side effects and what the injections could make me feel and so on. I decided to give Angie a call. To my surprise, she answered the phone. She spent 45 minutes talking with me initially. Subsequently, I went into the office to meet her and had another long appointment. She answered all of my questions and made me feel so comfortable. I cannot begin to tell you the extreme amount of patience that she had with me. She never once made me feel bad for being so worried and having so much anxiety. I have been on the shots less than a week and have lost 5 pounds. I know 5 pounds is not a lot, but I cannot begin to describe how good I feel. I literally owe all of this to Angie and would highly recommend her spa for any of your needs. I can honestly say I probably would have never done this had it not been for the knowledge and patience that Angie had with me. I am so grateful.

I had been looking for a skilled injector since moving to Land O Lakes 2 years ago and was thrilled when I found Angie. After so many bad experiences, she was a breath of fresh air. She did a great job, results were very natural, didn’t over sell me and her price is fair.

Very kind and professional! Did an excellent job and was very honest on what I needed and what wasn’t necessary instead of just going along with anything like any other business would’ve done.
