Chemical Peels in the heart of Montréal.
A chemical peel is a controlled exfoliation that uses medical-grade acids to dissolve the bonds holding dull, damaged surface cells in place — accelerating your skin's natural renewal so fresher, smoother, more even skin can emerge. At New Age Spa's Montréal clinic, 2365 rue Saint-Patrick in Pointe-Saint-Charles, our certified medical estheticians use professional peels to treat acne, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, melasma, sun damage, fine lines, enlarged pores, and dull, uneven texture — for clients across Griffintown, Le Sud-Ouest, Verdun, and Laval.
Unlike a one-size-fits-all approach, every peel here begins with a free skin analysis. We choose the acid, the strength, and the number of layers based on your skin type, your concern, and your tolerance — including gentle, melanin-safe protocols for darker and ethnic skin tones. The result is real resurfacing with predictable, comfortable downtime, never guesswork.

Active breakouts, blackheads, clogged pores, and post-acne marks respond exceptionally well to peels. Oil-soluble salicylic (BHA) peels penetrate into the pore to clear congestion and calm inflammation, while controlled exfoliation fades the red and brown marks left behind once a breakout heals. A go-to for Montréal clients whose city stress and pollution keep skin congested — performed at our Pointe-Saint-Charles clinic near Griffintown.
Best for: active pimples, whiteheads, and oily, breakout-prone skin.
Best for: blackheads, visibly enlarged pores, and rough, congested texture.
Best for: lingering red or brown marks after acne, especially on darker skin.
Pigmentation & Uneven Tone
Hyperpigmentation, melasma, sun damage, and age spots are some of the most rewarding concerns to treat with peels. By exfoliating pigment-laden cells and encouraging brighter skin to surface, layered glycolic, lactic, and mandelic peels visibly even out tone over a series — with melanin-conscious protocols designed to be safe for the diverse skin tones across Montréal's Le Sud-Ouest and Laval.
Best for: melasma, brown patches, and overall dull, uneven tone.
Best for: sun spots, age spots, and sun-dulled, weathered skin.
Best for: dullness, rough texture, and first-time peel clients of any tone.
Aging, Scars & Texture
For fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and stubborn rough texture, medium-depth peels reach further into the skin to remodel collagen and smooth indented or crepey areas. Jessner and TCA peels deliver more dramatic resurfacing for clients ready for a few days of visible peeling in exchange for firmer, smoother, more youthful skin — supervised by certified estheticians at our Montréal clinic.
Best for: early-to-moderate fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of firmness.
Best for: rolling acne scars, marked texture, and advanced resurfacing goals.
Best for: maturing, crepey skin wanting gradual firming and radiance.

1-888-808-0955Dryness & Sensitive Skin
Peels aren't only for oily, problem skin. Lactic acid is naturally hydrating and helps dry, dehydrated, or sensitive skin hold moisture while gently smoothing the surface. Montréal's harsh winters and air-conditioned summers leave skin parched year-round — a soft, low-percentage peel restores barrier health, comfort, and glow without aggressive downtime, even for reactive complexions.
Best for: dry, tight, dehydrated, or winter-stressed Montréal skin.
Best for: sensitive, reactive, redness-prone, or deeper skin tones.
Best for: combination skin and ongoing skin-health maintenance.
Superficial & Medium-Depth Peels
Depth is chosen by your esthetician based on your skin type, concern, downtime tolerance, and tone. More depth means more correction — and more peeling. We always start conservatively.
AHA and BHA peels that exfoliate the outermost layer (the epidermis). Glycolic for radiance and sun damage, lactic for dryness and pigment, mandelic for sensitive and darker skin, salicylic for acne and oil. Little to no peeling, minimal downtime, and ideal in a series of 4–6. The perfect starting point for first-time clients across Montréal and Laval.
Stronger peels that reach into the upper dermis to remodel collagen, soften acne scars, fine lines, and deeper pigmentation. Expect visible peeling for several days and strict sun protection afterward. Reserved for suitable candidates after proper preparation — and approached with extra caution and conservative strength on darker skin to protect against post-inflammatory pigmentation.

Frequently Asked Questions — Montréal
Most clients see the best results from a series. Superficial peels (glycolic, lactic, mandelic, salicylic) are typically done as a course of 4 to 6 sessions, spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart, with maintenance peels afterward. Concerns like acne marks, melasma, and sun damage improve gradually over the series. Medium-depth Jessner and TCA peels deliver more correction per session, so fewer are usually needed. At your free consultation in Montréal we'll map out an exact plan for your skin.
It depends on the depth. Superficial peels usually cause only light flaking or none at all, so most clients return to work and normal life the same day — a true lunchtime treatment. Medium-depth Jessner and TCA peels produce visible peeling for roughly 3 to 7 days as the old skin sheds and fresh skin emerges. We tell you exactly what to expect before we begin and time deeper peels around your schedule and any events.
Chemical peels are well tolerated. During application most people feel a mild tingling, warmth, or light stinging that lasts only a few minutes, and we monitor your skin closely the entire time. Superficial peels are very comfortable; medium-depth peels feel more intense but are brief and manageable. Afterward your skin may feel tight or look slightly pink, similar to a mild sunburn, which settles quickly. We never push your skin past what it can comfortably handle.
Yes — when done correctly. Darker and ethnic skin tones can absolutely benefit from peels, but they carry a higher risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation if a peel is too aggressive. That's why our certified estheticians favour gentler, melanin-safe acids like mandelic and lactic, start at conservative strengths and build results gradually. We have extensive experience treating the diverse skin tones of Montréal's Le Sud-Ouest and Laval communities safely.
Superficial peels can be repeated every 2 to 4 weeks during an active treatment course, then every 4 to 8 weeks for maintenance — aligned with your skin's natural renewal cycle. Medium-depth peels need more recovery time and are spaced further apart, often several weeks to months depending on the peel and your skin's response. Over-peeling damages the barrier, so we always pace your treatments to keep your skin healthy.
For at least 5 to 7 days, avoid direct sun and always wear broad-spectrum SPF 30+ — freshly peeled skin burns and pigments easily. Do not pick or peel flaking skin; let it shed naturally. Skip retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, scrubs, and other strong actives, and avoid saunas, steam rooms, hot yoga, intense workouts, and waxing until your skin has fully recovered. Keep skin hydrated with the gentle products your esthetician recommends. We give every Montréal client a written aftercare plan.

Our clinic is at 2365 rue Saint-Patrick, Pointe-Saint-Charles — steps from Griffintown and the Atwater Canal, and easy to reach from across Montréal and Laval. We recommend a consultation first so we can match the right peel and strength to your skin before your first session.
Pre & Post-Peel Care
Pause Strong Actives
Stop retinoids, AHAs/BHAs, and strong exfoliating actives for 5 to 7 days before your peel so your skin is calm and resurfaces evenly.
Avoid Sun & Tanning
Keep skin out of direct sun and avoid tanning for at least a week beforehand. Sun-stressed or burned skin cannot be peeled safely.
Skip Waxing & Hair Removal
No waxing, threading, or laser on the treatment area for 5 to 7 days before, to prevent irritation and uneven results.
Tell Us Your History
Let us know about cold sores, recent procedures, medical treatments a doctor has you on, or pregnancy — this guides which peel is safe for you.
Apply SPF 30+ Every Day
Freshly peeled skin is highly UV-sensitive. Use broad-spectrum SPF 30+ daily and reapply — Montréal's UV climbs fast in summer, especially near the canal.
Do Not Pick or Peel
Let flaking skin shed on its own. Picking can cause scarring and dark marks, especially on deeper skin tones.
Keep It Gentle & Hydrated
Use only the soothing, hydrating products we recommend. Avoid retinoids, acids, and scrubs until your skin has fully recovered.
No Heat or Sweat
Skip saunas, steam, hot yoga, and intense workouts for 48 to 72 hours to keep the skin calm while it renews.
Most adults with concerns like acne, post-acne marks, hyperpigmentation, melasma, sun damage, fine lines, enlarged pores, or dull texture are excellent candidates. Peels suit all skin types and, with the right acid and strength, all skin tones. Peels may be postponed for active cold sores, broken or sunburned skin, recent oral acne therapy, or pregnancy/breastfeeding for certain formulas — your esthetician will confirm what's safe during your free consultation.
Yes. Chemical peels pair beautifully with Microneedling for acne scars and texture, with Laser Skin Rejuvenation for stubborn pigment, and with advanced facials for hydration and maintenance. Your esthetician at our rue Saint-Patrick clinic will sequence treatments safely so they complement rather than over-stress your skin.
