Skip to content Renew dull, sun-damaged, or uneven skin tone with customized, medical-grade chemical peels at Laser Esthetica in Roseville. Our physician-led team offers superficial and medium-depth peels tailored precisely to your skin type and goals, delivering fresher, smoother, brighter-looking skin with minimal downtime. For safer, more effective skin renewal, request your consultation today.
A chemical peel is a controlled exfoliation using medical-grade solutions (such as glycolic, lactic, or trichloroacetic acid [TCA]). The solution dissolves dull, damaged surface cells so your skin naturally peels and reveals new skin that looks smoother, clearer, and more even. After a peel, your skin will be temporarily more sun-sensitive, so daily SPF is essential.
Superficial peels (minimal downtime): performed by our licensed esthetician.
Medium-depth TCA peels (more corrective): personally performed by Dr. Nalini Prasad.
Deep phenol peels are not performed at our clinic; many patients achieve similar outcomes with modern lasers.
Real results: See how peels improve tone, texture, and clarity
Chemical peels can be applied to the face, neck, or hands to improve:
Sun damage and early precancerous actinic changes (scaly spots)
Melasma and other hyperpigmentation
Uneven tone and texture, dullness
Fine lines and mild to moderate wrinkles
Enlarged pores and acne-prone or oily skin
Certain acne scars (often combined with other treatments)
Note: Severe or etched-in wrinkles typically respond better to laser resurfacing (e.g., Sciton MicroLaserPeel®) or injectables. We’ll guide you to the right plan.
Chemical peels are ideal for individuals seeking noticeable skin improvement for tone, texture, and clarity without surgery. You may be a good candidate if you experience:
Sun-damaged skin, or uneven pigmentation
Melasma (pregnancy mask) or dark spots
A desire to reduce fine lines or rough texture
Enlarged pores or mild acne scarring
A desire for skin renewal with customized care
During your consultation, we’ll review your medical history, and Dr. Prasad will evaluate your skin to determine the safest and most effective peel type and plan for you.
We may ask you to pause certain medications and pre-condition your skin with products like Retin-A, Renova, or glycolic acid. For some patients, we prescribe prophylactic antivirals or antibiotics depending on peel depth and history (e.g., cold sores).
You may feel warmth or stinging for 5–10 minutes. Cool compresses are used to keep you comfortable. Medium-depth peels may require in-office analgesia.
Your journey begins with a detailed consultation and skin analysis by Dr. Nalini Prasad.
Expect mild redness, tightness, and light flaking or peeling for 3–7 days as your skin renews. These peels can be safely repeated every 2–4 weeks to maintain brightness and clarity.
You may experience swelling and more visible peeling cycles lasting 7–14 days. These corrective peels may be repeated every 6–12 months for continued improvement in texture, tone, and pigmentation.
Daily use of a broad-spectrum SPF and a gentle skincare routine are essential to protect your skin and preserve your results.
Chemical peels are generally best suited for fair to medium skin tones; however, darker skin tones can be treated safely with careful peel selection, preconditioning, and physician oversight.
While complications are rare, potential risks include temporary or prolonged redness, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation, infection, and scarring.
At your consultation, we’ll examine your skin, determine the most effective peel type and series, and provide transparent pricing based on peel depth and treatment plan.
We offer customized solutions, from a gentle superficial refresh to a corrective TCA medium-depth peel, ensuring excellent value by delivering dramatic rejuvenation without surgery or extended downtime.
Laser Esthetica is a leading aesthetic practice serving Roseville, Sacramento, and surrounding Northern California communities, committed to physician-led care:
We tailor peel strength to your skin type (including darker skin tones) to reduce the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
When a peel isn't the best fit, we can recommend laser resurfacing, IPL/photofacials, microneedling, fillers, or medical-grade skincare.

Many patients see visible brightening after one peel. For pigment and texture, we often recommend a series of 3–6 superficial peels spaced 2–4 weeks apart. Medium-depth peels are usually one-and-done with maintenance later.
Expect light flaking with superficial peels and more noticeable peeling with medium-depth TCA. We’ll guide you on no-pick healing and gentle moisturizers.
Yes with careful selection, pre-conditioning, and sun protection. We use conservative, customized protocols to minimize the risk of hyperpigmentation.
Certain peels reduce oil, unclog pores, and fade post-blemish marks. For active acne, we may combine peels with topicals, light-based treatments, or medical therapy.
Peels exfoliate chemically; lasers resurface with controlled light energy. For deeper wrinkles, scarring, or substantial sun damage, lasers may be more effective or we may combine both.
