Eliminate Dull, Damaged Cells
Your skin is the first line of defense against dirt, debris, and other contaminants. But over time, these particles can get stuck in your skin, causing a dull or dry surface.
With a chemical peel, we can gently remove this outer skin to reveal a gleaming new layer beneath!
What to Expect With a Chemical Peel
We sit down with you to discuss your skin goals and create a plan for the perfect peel to address your needs and concerns.
We apply the carefully selected peel solution to your skin, helping to encourage your new glowing, rejuvenated appearance.
You can expect to see brighter, smoother skin in the next coming weeks as your skin heals and reveals its youthful layer.

Chemical Peel Care Instructions
Taking care of your skin properly before and after your chemical peels in New Canaan is essential for achieving the best results and keeping your skin healthy and happy. By following these guidelines, you can ensure your skin heals beautifully and you enjoy all the benefits of a refreshed, glowing complexion.
Pre-Care Instructions
- Stay out of the sun and avoid tanning beds.
- Refrain from using exfoliating products like scrubs or retinoids for a few days prior.
- Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and in optimal condition.
- Let us know about any medications or skincare products you’re using.
- Arrive with clean, product-free skin.
Post-Care Instructions
- Use a mild cleanser and avoid scrubbing or using harsh exfoliants on your skin.

- Allow your skin to breathe and heal by avoiding makeup for at least a day after your peel.
Chemical Peel Options
Our chemical peels in New Canaan vary in depth and intensity, allowing us to customize your treatment for the best results. Light peels gently exfoliate the surface layer of your skin and are perfect for a mild refresh. Medium peels reach deeper within your skin’s layers to address more significant concerns like sun damage and fine lines. Deep peels offer a more intense treatment for skin issues, but they do require a bit more downtime. We’ll work with you to determine which option is right for you.
Pulse Peels
Our pulse peels offer a unique twist on traditional chemical peels. These treatments use a combination of peel solutions in short, intense bursts to maximize effectiveness while minimizing downtime. Pulse peels are perfect for those looking for a powerful, yet gentle approach to skin rejuvenation. They help improve texture, reduce pigmentation, and boost your overall radiance.

I LOVE Intentional Self Aesthetics! Dr. Alessio and her team are kind, helpful, and very knowledgeable with great bedside manners. I received my very first chemical peel from them. Holly and Dr. Teresa listened to my concerns and answered all of my "what if" questions with patience and kindness. The results of my peel were fantastic. I received many compliments on my skin -- people said I was glowing, that I looked great or beautiful, etc. And no, I didn't ask for those compliments -- they were freely given! :D Intentional Self Aesthetics is where I will be receiving all of my medical beauty treatments here on out. Thank you to the wonderful team!
