    11 — Chemical Peels

    The Perfect Derma™ PeelA medium-depth peel that's safe for every skin tone — including the ones most peels aren't formulated for.

    About 30 minutes. 2–4 days of light peeling. Built around glutathione.

    Most chemical peels make you choose: real correction, or a formula that's safe on deeper skin. The Perfect Derma Peel is one of the few medium-depth peels designed to be appropriate across all Fitzpatrick types, I through VI — which is exactly why Gloria chose it.

    Its distinguishing ingredient is glutathione, one of the body's key antioxidants. Alongside the peel's acids, it's what makes this formula effective on stubborn pigment — melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, sun damage — while staying gentler than the deeper peels that carry more risk on color.

    It's a straightforward, nearly painless treatment that takes under 30 minutes, followed by 2–4 days of light flaking that reveals fresher skin underneath.

    Like everything at Amata Lucè, it starts with your structural assessment. A peel is powerful, and on the wrong skin or at the wrong moment it can do harm — so Gloria reads your skin first, and if a peel isn't right for you, she'll tell you.

    Safe-for-color isn't a feature here. It's the requirement Gloria built the whole practice around.

    01

    Why glutathione

    Glutathione is one of the body's master antioxidants — a peptide that helps counter oxidative stress. Our natural levels decline with age. This peel delivers a concentrated dose directly to the skin.

    In the formula, glutathione is thought to help by interrupting melanin production (the pigment behind dark spots), neutralizing free radicals, and supporting collagen. That combination is what lets the peel address significant pigment concerns without the harshness or extended downtime of deeper peels.

    It's one of the more effective tools for stubborn pigmentation like melasma and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation — which, on deeper skin tones, are often made worse by aggressive treatment. This is the gentler route to the same goal.

    02

    What it can help with

    This peel is versatile. It's worth considering if you'd like to improve:

    Sun damage & age spots — softening sun spots and evening tone.

    Acne & acne scarring — calming breakouts and improving the look of scarring.

    Fine lines — softening lines around the eyes and mouth.

    Hyperpigmentation & melasma — lightening stubborn dark patches.

    Texture & tone: a smoother, more even complexion.

    Dullness: restoring radiance.

    Enlarged pores: refining their appearance.

    Early aging: supporting collagen for firmer skin.

    Whether it's the right tool for your skin is what the assessment is for.

    03

    The peeling process, honestly

    The peel is part of the result — your skin sheds its dull outer layers to reveal newer skin beneath. A typical timeline:

    Day 1 (treatment day)

    Your skin looks lightly red or tanned and may feel tight. You leave with the solution on and instructions for when to wash it off. We provide a complete home-care kit with post-peel wipes and moisturizer for the first two days.

    Day 2

    Skin still feels tight. Some pigmented areas may look slightly darker — a normal part of the lifting process.

    Days 3–5

    Peeling usually begins, typically around the mouth and nose, spreading outward. It's light, flaky peeling, like a mild sunburn. Don't pick or pull the peeling skin — let it shed naturally, and keep using the post-peel moisturizer.

    Day 7 and beyond

    The visible peeling is usually done, and skin looks brighter, smoother, and more even.

    Full results continue developing over the following weeks as collagen remodels.

    Consistent broad-spectrum SPF is non-negotiable afterward — it protects your new skin and preserves your results.

    04

    Investment & packages

    A single peel is a beautiful refresh. For more significant concerns like melasma or acne scarring, a series of 2–3 peels spaced 4–6 weeks apart gives the best correction. After your first series, maintenance peels every 3–6 months hold your results.

    During your assessment, Gloria builds a plan tailored to your goals.

    Single treatment: $325

    includes one Perfect Derma™ Peel and a home-care kit.

    Package of 3: $875

    save $100. The recommended protocol for meaningful correction. Includes three sessions and three home-care kits.

    05

    The Amata Lucè difference

    At Amata Lucè, your treatment goes beyond the peel itself. It begins with a thorough assessment — not just applying a peel, but understanding your skin's history, your routine, and your goals. That's what lets Gloria tailor the treatment and, where it helps, add targeted boosters for concerns like acne or advanced aging.

    Every session is performed personally by Gloria, RN and Master Esthetician, with care for your safety and comfort throughout. You'll leave with clear aftercare — your home kit and longer-term recommendations from the curated RegimenPro range — and the knowledge to care for your skin well after your visit.

    The peel is a powerful tool. The protocol around it is what makes the result last.
