Skin Renewal
Your skin goes through a lot over time—sun exposure, hormones, aging, and daily stress can all contribute to dullness, uneven tone, breakouts, and texture changes. Our chemical peels in Leawood are designed to help reset and refresh the skin by gently exfoliating damaged outer layers and encouraging new skin cell turnover.
At Regain, we can customize each peel to your skin type and goals, helping you achieve a clearer, more radiant complexion.

Brighter Complexion
Chemical peels help remove dull, damaged outer layers of skin to reveal a fresher, more radiant appearance underneath.
Improved Texture
By encouraging skin cell turnover, peels can refine rough texture and improve overall skin smoothness over time.
Targeted Skin Correction
Each peel is selected based on your specific concerns, allowing us to address acne, hyperpigmentation, aging, or texture in a specific way.
Why Choose Chemical Peels?
At Regain, chemical peels in Leawood offer a controlled way to improve skin quality by encouraging exfoliation and regeneration at different depths of the skin. Because each peel varies in strength and ingredients, your provider can tailor treatment to your exact needs.

The Ingredients
Chemical peels are customized based on your skin concerns, which means different ingredients may be used depending on your goals and downtime preferences. At Regain, we commonly use glycolic acid, mandelic acid, and salicylic acid.
These acids are safe for the skin, well-studied, and highly effective when used in a controlled medical setting.
Glycolic Acid
Glycolic acid is one of the most commonly used peel ingredients due to its small molecular size, which allows it to penetrate the skin effectively. Derived from sugarcane and fruit sources, it helps exfoliate the skin’s surface and improve texture.
Glycolic acid helps reduce acne, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and uneven tone. It is best suited for surface-level skin concerns and works primarily on the outermost layer of the skin.
Mandelic Acid
Mandelic acid is a gentler option often recommended for sensitive or reactive skin types. Because of its larger molecular structure, it penetrates the skin more slowly, making it less irritating than other acids.
It can improve acne, texture, fine lines, and hyperpigmentation while offering a smoother exfoliation experience. Mandelic acid also works on both the skin’s surface and within the pores. We use this chemical peel in Leawood to target acne, discoloration, wrinkles, and rough skin.
Salicylic Acid
Salicylic acid is especially effective for oily and acne-prone skin. It is oil-soluble, which allows it to penetrate deep into pores to help clear out congestion, blackheads, and breakouts.
This ingredient can also improve skin tone, texture, sun damage, and fine lines.
Types of Chemical Peels
At Regain, chemical peels are categorized by depth: light, medium, or deep. The right choice depends on your skin type, concerns, and downtime tolerance.
Light peels offer minimal downtime and are ideal for beginners or maintenance appointments. Medium peels target deeper concerns like hyperpigmentation and acne scars, while deep peels are used for more advanced skin damage and require longer recovery.
Your provider will recommend the most appropriate option during your consultation.
