Three graduated levels of corrective peels (I–III), from a soft first glow to deep transformation. Formulated to be safe for melanin-rich skin, with no downtime at Level I.
Every latina who's ever asked about a peel has heard the same warning: "you'll end up with dark spots." It's not paranoia, the wrong acid, the wrong strength, or the wrong hands really can trigger hyperpigmentation on melanin-rich skin.
That's why our peels are graduated in three levels (I, II, III), using formulas chosen to work with melanin, not against it, and every peel begins with a read of your skin by licensed esthetician Valeria Caicedo, so you're never pushed into a level your skin isn't ready for. Brighter, more even skin without gambling your tone.
The fear is real: a badly-chosen peel can leave melanin-rich skin worse than before. Here's how we make sure yours won't.

Book a ConsultationYes, when they're formulated right and applied by a licensed hand. Our peels use acid blends clinically selected to work with melanin, not against it. That's why we've built a graduated system: Level I builds your skin's tolerance safely before we ever consider going deeper. No shortcuts, no dark marks.
It depends on the level. Level I has no visible peeling, just a fresh glow. Level II gives mild flaking for 2–3 days (easy to hide with moisturizer). Level III is the real transformation: 4–7 days of visible peeling as the top layer sheds. We'll walk you through exactly what to expect before you book.
If it's your first peel, always Level I. You wouldn't run a marathon without training; your skin works the same way. Level I builds tolerance and reveals how your skin responds. From there, Valeria will recommend when to progress. We won't start you at Level III, not because of a rule, but because your skin deserves to get there safely.
You'll feel a warm tingling, most clients describe it as "spicy." That's the acid working, and it fades within a few minutes. Nothing sharp, nothing intolerable. If discomfort ever goes past that, we neutralize immediately. Your comfort is the ceiling.
You'll see brightness within 24–48 hours. Real, lasting change (tone, texture, pigmentation) comes with a series, typically 3–6 peels spaced 3–4 weeks apart, matching your skin's renewal cycle. We'll build a realistic rhythm at your consultation.
