Centrally located in Downtown New Westminster, Vita Felice offers customized chemical peels designed to target acne, stubborn congestion, pigmentation, and early signs of aging for clients across Burnaby, Coquitlam, Surrey, and the surrounding Lower Mainland.

Chemical peels work by gently removing the outer layers of skin to reveal fresher, healthier skin underneath. This process can help improve the appearance of common skin concerns such as acne, fine lines, uneven tone, and texture. Many of our peels are designed to be mild enough for regular use without causing significant peeling, making them a comfortable choice for skin rejuvenation.

Your skincare regimen is crucial for the best and quickest results. Incorporating tyrosinase inhibitors, active ingredients such as glycolic and lactic acids, retinol, vitamin C, and proper protection from UV rays will make your chemical peel journey smooth and achieve healthier skin quickly. Please also note if your skin is compromised, we can not treat your skin with peels. We like to use the exercise metaphor here again. You cannot perform well when you have injuries. You cannot complete a full marathon if you are not prepared. Small steps prepare you for a big leap.

Chemical peels are good on all skin types and tones. However, consult with your specialist first to see if it’s safe for you to undergo treatment. Some cautions are necessary for sensitive skin clients, higher Fitzpatrick scale clients, pregnant and nursing clients, and clients with aspirin allergy. Chemical peels are not performed for clients who have recently taken oncology treatments and oral acne medications in the last 12 months.

It is a common misconception that your skin must aggressively shed for a peel to be successful! Many of our advanced pharmaceutical-grade formulas work entirely at the cellular level, delivering zero to minimal visible flaking while still dramatically accelerating cell turnover. Depending on your customized formula, your skin may simply feel tightly refreshed or experience mild, easily managed flaking for a few days.

Because your skin will be temporarily more receptive to light, proper daily sun protection is absolute mandatory post-care to lock in your fresh, radiant results.

Many clients believe that a successful chemical peel must result in visible skin peeling—this is actually a misconception. Not all chemical peels cause visible shedding of skin. The degree of peeling depends on several important factors:

• Type of acids used in the formulation
• Concentration levels of active ingredients
• pH level of the products
• Application technique (number of layers applied)
• Duration the solution remains on the skin
• Pre-treatment skin preparation and condition
• Individual skin sensitivity and response

Very superficial and many superficial peels typically cause minimal to no visible flaking while still delivering significant skin benefits. These treatments work effectively at the cellular level by:

• Accelerating cell turnover
• Improving skin texture and tone
• Reducing fine lines and hyperpigmentation
• Enhancing product penetration
• Stimulating collagen production

Remember that visible peeling is not the goal or measure of a peel’s effectiveness. The true indicators of a successful treatment are the improvements in your skin’s appearance, texture, and health in the weeks following your treatment.

Our approach focuses on delivering optimal results while maintaining your skin’s comfort and health throughout the process.

Yes, we offer a range of peels suitable for different skin types, including sensitive skin as well as melanin-rich skin. Our experts will recommend the best option for you during your consultation.

Absolutely. Chemical peels are very effective in treating acne by unclogging pores, reducing inflammation, and promoting clearer skin.

The frequency depends on the type of peel and your skin’s response. Generally, superficial peels can be done every 2 to 4 weeks, with a recommendation of committing to 6-10 sessions. Medium-depth peels are not available by aestheticians due to Health Canada regulations.

Post-peel care includes avoiding sun exposure, using gentle skincare products, applying sunscreen daily to protect your refreshed skin, and drinking plenty of water to aid healing. Please read full pre- and post-chemical peel instructions.

Absolutely. At Vita Felice Medi Spa, your safety is our absolute priority. All of our advanced, professional-grade chemical peels strictly comply with Health Canada’s cosmetic ingredient regulations. We never utilize restricted or prohibited ingredients, giving you complete peace of mind that your skin is in safe, expert hands.
