At Lush Aesthetics & Wellness, we’re big believers that beautiful skin isn’t created in a single appointment—it’s built through consistency, expert guidance, and treatments that actually change the health of your skin over time.
That’s exactly why chemical peels remain one of our favorite treatments.
Whether you’re looking for a fresh glow before an event, trying to clear stubborn acne, soften deeper lines, brighten pigmentation, or simply maintain the results you’ve already invested in, chemical peels can be one of the most effective tools in your skincare journey.
And the best part? We offer multiple peel options so your treatment can be matched to your skin, your goals, and your lifestyle.

What Exactly Is a Chemical Peel?
Despite the name, chemical peels are not scary—and they’re definitely not one-size-fits-all.
A chemical peel uses carefully selected professional acids and active ingredients to accelerate cellular turnover, gently lifting away dull, damaged surface skin while stimulating fresh, healthy new skin underneath.
This can help improve:
✔️ Fine lines and wrinkles
✔️ Acne and congestion
✔️ Uneven texture
✔️ Sun damage
✔️ Pigmentation and melasma
✔️ Enlarged pores
✔️ Dull, tired-looking skin
✔️ Overall skin clarity and radiance
Think of it as hitting the reset button on your skin.
By removing damaged outer layers, your skincare products absorb better, your makeup applies smoother, and your skin simply behaves healthier.
Why We Love Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are one of the best “maintenance” treatments you can do between bigger procedures.
They pair beautifully with treatments like:
• Neurotoxins• Microneedling• Medical-grade facials• Laser resurfacing• Skin tightening treatments• Acne correction programs
They’re also a fantastic way to maintain your results in between more aggressive treatments. Instead of waiting for your skin to “go backwards,” peels help keep you moving forward.
At Lush, we offer three peel experiences, each designed for different skin goals.
Tier 1 Chemical Peels – Your Monthly Skin Reset
Our Tier 1 Peels are perfect for clients looking for consistent skin maintenance and beautiful glow with minimal downtime.
These peels are ideal for:
✔️ Fine lines
✔️ Mild sun damage
✔️ Light acne or congestion
✔️ Uneven texture
✔️ Pre-event glow-ups
✔️ Monthly skin maintenance
Tier 1 peels are gentle enough for regular appointments and are often the perfect add-on when pairing with neurotoxins or other aesthetic treatments.
Many of our clients love scheduling these monthly to keep their skin fresh, bright, smooth, and healthy year-round.
Think of Tier 1 as your “never let your skin slide” treatment.
Tier 2 Chemical Peels – Corrective, More Aggressive, More Transformative
When we’re dealing with more stubborn concerns, our Tier 2 Peels step things up.
These peels are stronger, more corrective, and designed for clients ready to make serious progress.
Tier 2 peels are excellent for:
✔️ Active or aggressive acne
✔️ Acne scarring
✔️ Deeper lines and wrinkles
✔️ More significant sun damage
✔️ Deep pigmentation concerns
✔️ Stubborn texture issues
Because these peels work deeper in the skin, they should typically be spaced at least 6 weeks apart.
With Tier 2 peels, it’s normal to experience heavier flaking or peeling—most commonly around days 3–7—as your skin sheds damaged cells and reveals healthier skin underneath.
The downtime is a little greater… but so are the results.
The Hybrid Peel – Results + Relaxation in One Appointment
Can’t decide between clinical results and a little self-care?
You don’t have to.
Our Hybrid Peel combines a 30-minute medical-grade facial with a Tier 1 chemical peel, giving you the best of both worlds.
This treatment includes:
✔️ Deep cleansing
✔️ Customized skincare
✔️ Relaxation
✔️ Professional skin prep
✔️ Finishing with a Tier 1 peel for enhanced glow and correction
It’s perfect for clients who want visible results without giving up the spa experience.
Peel Boosters – Because Good Can Always Get Better
For clients who want to maximize their peel results, we also offer Peel Boosters.
Boosters allow us to customize your peel even further—targeting specific concerns like pigmentation, acne, texture, or aging—without adding pain, discomfort, or significant extra downtime.
It’s one of the easiest ways to take a great peel… and make it even better.
Which Peel Is Right for You?
That depends on your skin, your goals, your lifestyle, and your treatment plan.
At Lush Aesthetics & Wellness, we don’t believe in cookie-cutter skincare. We’ll help you choose the right peel—and the right timing—whether your goal is prevention, correction, maintenance, or full transformation.
Available at our Manitowoc, Sheboygan Falls, and Coleman locations.
Because healthy skin isn’t luck.It’s a plan. And we’d love to build yours.
