Chemical Peels in San Antonio — Reveal Your Freshest Skin
From gentle lunchtime peels to transformative deep resurfacing — physician-selected, physician-supervised, and customized to your skin's unique needs.
What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel uses a specially formulated acid solution to remove damaged outer layers of skin, revealing the smoother, brighter, more evenly toned skin beneath. By triggering controlled exfoliation, peels accelerate your body's natural renewal process and stimulate fresh collagen production.
Chemical peels effectively treat acne, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, melasma, sun damage, fine lines, uneven texture, dull skin, and enlarged pores. Results range from an immediate post-treatment glow to dramatic long-term skin transformation — depending on peel depth.
Physician-Selected. Physician-Supervised.
At Prime Vitality, Dr. Shiv Goel personally analyzes your skin type, tone, and concerns to select the precise peel strength and formula — ensuring maximum results with minimal risk. This is especially critical for patients with darker skin tones.
Our Chemical Peel Menu
From quick lunchtime refreshers to deep transformational peels — we match the right formula to your skin goals.
Light / Superficial Peels
Glycolic and lactic acid formulas gently dissolve dull surface cells. Perfect as a "lunchtime peel" — walk in, walk out glowing. Ideal for brightening, mild texture improvement, and skin maintenance.
Medium-Depth Peels
TCA and Jessner's solutions penetrate deeper to target stubborn pigmentation, moderate acne scars, and noticeable texture issues. Moderate peeling for 3-5 days reveals dramatically refreshed skin.
Deep Peels
High-concentration TCA or phenol solutions deliver the most dramatic results for deep wrinkles, severe sun damage, and significant scarring. Requires physician supervision and 7-14 days of recovery.
VI Peel
A powerful medical-grade blend specifically designed to address melasma, acne scarring, and age-related changes. Safe for all skin types and tones, with visible peeling starting on day three.
ZO 3-Step Peel
Dr. Obagi's renowned three-step peel system stimulates collagen production, improves texture and tone, and delivers visible skin tightening. Includes a take-home retinol crème for continued results.
Acne-Specific Peels
Salicylic and mandelic acid formulations target active acne, congested pores, and post-inflammatory redness. Helps clear breakouts while preventing new ones from forming.

The Chemical Peel Experience
From initial consultation to beautiful results — here's what to expect at every step.
Skin Analysis
Dr. Goel examines your skin under clinical lighting, assesses your Fitzpatrick type, reviews your concerns, and determines the ideal peel formula and strength.
Prep & Application
Your skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepped. The peel solution is carefully applied in controlled layers, with Dr. Goel monitoring your skin's response in real time.
Neutralize & Soothe
Once the optimal endpoint is reached, the peel is neutralized. A calming recovery mask and medical-grade moisturizer are applied to protect your freshly treated skin.
Aftercare & Follow-Up
You receive a personalized aftercare kit and detailed instructions. A follow-up appointment ensures your skin is healing beautifully and we plan your next session if needed.
