Why Season Matters
Chemical peels remove damaged outer layers to reveal smoother, more even skin. Fresh skin is sun-sensitive. In Orange County, lower UV index months make fall and winter ideal for medium-depth peels.
That said, light peels and medical-grade home programs continue year-round with strict SPF. Do not skip peels entirely in summer — adjust depth and frequency instead.
Peel Types at Aurevia
We offer superficial lunch-time peels with minimal flaking, medium-depth peels for pigment and acne scarring, and pre-event gentle glow peels. Classic and Clari-D facials incorporate peel steps within broader protocols.
Pre-treat with pigment inhibitors if melasma is present. Post-treat with bland hydration and zero picking.
Planning Around Events
Allow seven to fourteen days recovery for medium peels before major photos. Bridal Veil timelines schedule peel series six months to six weeks out — never the week before.
Book a skin analysis at our Irvine clinic to match peel type to Fitzpatrick type and goals.
