Exfoliation in Calgary

Reveal smoother, brighter skin. Naturally & safely!

Exfoliation is a skincare treatment that removes dead, dull surface skin to reveal healthier, fresher layers underneath. By combining the power of chemical peels and dermaplaning, we help target fine lines, dull texture, excess debris, and uneven tone with approaches suited to your skin type and goals.

What is exfoliation & what can it treat?

Exfoliation involves removing the outermost dead skin layers, encouraging new skin regeneration. Our practice offers two leading methods:

Chemical peels use safe, medical-grade acids (like glycolic, lactic, salicylic) to dissolve and lift dead skin cells.

Dermaplaning is a controlled manual exfoliation using a specialized blade to gently shave off dead cells and fine vellus hair (peach fuzz).

These treatments help address:

Dull, congested or rough skin

Fine lines & signs of aging

Hyperpigmentation, dark spots, & uneven tone

Build-up of debris or clogged pores

Enhancing product absorption & smoother texture

STEP 1

Skin consultation & prep

We analyze your skin and lifestyle, and decide which exfoliation method (peel, dermaplaning, or combined) fits you best. Your skin is cleansed and prepped.

STEP 2

Treatment application

For peels: the acid solution is applied, left on for controlled time, then neutralized. You may feel tingling or warmth.

For dermaplaning: a gentle, gliding blade strokes the skin to shave off dead skin cells and fine hair, with no tugging sensation.

Aftercare & recovery

We apply a calming, hydrating serum or mask. Mild peeling or gentle flaking may occur (especially after peels). Avoid sun exposure, harsh exfoliants, and makeup for the first 24–48 hours. Follow a simple skincare regimen we provide to support healing and enhance results.

Chemical peel FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Browse our frequently asked questions to get clarity on chemical peel, booking, and what to expect at Genesis Health Clinic.

How many exfoliation sessions will I need?

Many clients notice improvement with 1 exfoliation treatment. For deeper concerns, a series of 3–6 sessions spaced a few weeks apart is typical.

What does exfoliation feel like?

Peels may cause tingling or warmth. Dermaplaning feels very gentle, like light shaving without pulling.

Is there downtime to exfoliation?

Minimal. For peels you may see light peeling for 2–5 days. Dermaplaning has almost no downtime. You might experience temporary sensitivity.

Can I wear makeup after exfoliation?

Wait at least 24–48 hours after a peel before applying makeup. After dermaplaning, makeup application is generally safe the next day, but use gentle formulas.

Is exfoliation safe for all skin types?

Yes, when treatments are properly selected and tailored. We assess your skin beforehand and choose methods that are safe and effective for your skin type and condition.

Can I combine chemical peels and dermaplaning?

Yup. When done carefully and spaced correctly, combining both can enhance results. We’ll decide whether to do them in the same session or alternate based on your skin’s sensitivity.
