Enlighten Chemical Peel
If you’ve struggled with melasma, dark spots, or blotchy pigmentation that won’t fade with standard treatments, the Enlighten Chemical Peel may be the answer.
This cutting-edge depigmentation system combines an in-office peel with a custom at-home regimen to dramatically brighten and even out skin tone over a month.
At SoCal Skin & Surgery, we’re proud to offer this gold-standard treatment for pigmentation correction, proven to work where other methods often fail.
How It Works
The Enlighten Peel is a two-phase process, combining a one-time in-office treatment with a four-week home regimen for lasting results.
The skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove oils and debris.
A thick, mask-like peel is applied evenly across the skin.
The peel stays on for 8–12 hours, allowing deep penetration.
You will wash off the peel at home following our instructions.
The in-office portion takes 20–30 minutes, but the real work begins at home.
You’ll follow a custom home-care system using prescription-strength ingredients.
Products contain hydroquinone, kojic acid, and retinol to break down pigment and prevent new discoloration.
Some patients receive a follow-up peel 4–6 weeks later to intensify results.
The at-home regimen is crucial for achieving maximum pigment correction. Our team will guide you through each step and adjust your routine as needed.
Recovery
Since this treatment continues to work over 4+ weeks, expect progressive improvements rather than an instant change. While the Enlighten Peel has minimal downtime, you should expect some peeling and skin renewal throughout the month.
Skin is red and sensitive after removing the mask.
Flaking & peeling begins, similar to light sunburn peeling.
Most of the visible peeling subsides, revealing brighter skin.
Gradual lightening of dark spots continues with home-care products.
Skip workouts, saunas, and excessive heat exposure for a few days.
Post-Peel Care
Keep skin hydrated to minimize peeling discomfort.
Allow flaky skin to shed naturally to avoid scarring.
Wear SPF 50+ daily and avoid direct sun exposure.
Avoid saunas, hot yoga, and heavy workouts for at least a week.
Use your prescribed products exactly as directed for optimal pigment suppression.
By following these steps, you’ll achieve a dramatic reduction in discoloration with minimal disruption to your daily life.
WHO IT IS FOR
Unlike some peels that can be risky for deeper complexions, the Enlighten Peel is safe for all skin tones, including Fitzpatrick types IV-VI. During your consultation, our dermatologists will assess your skin type and tailor the treatment plan to your needs.
