The Right Depth Makes All the Difference
Chemical peels matched to your skin’s depth of damage, so you get real results without more downtime than you need.
Not every skin concern needs the same peel. A chemical peel in San Jose can mean anything from a lunchtime refresh with zero downtime to a deeper treatment that reveals noticeably brighter, smoother skin over a week of recovery. The strength matters as much as the ingredients, and choosing the wrong depth is the most common reason patients feel underwhelmed by a peel.
At Entre Nous Aesthetics, your provider assesses your skin’s texture, tone, and specific concerns before recommending a depth, rather than defaulting to whatever peel happens to be popular that season. Melasma, sun damage, and acne scarring each respond differently to peel depth, so we tailor accordingly instead of offering one standard option to every patient who walks in.

Different Depths, Different Recoveries
Our chemical peel in San Jose works by applying a solution that removes damaged outer layers of skin, prompting fresh, healthier skin to surface underneath. Superficial peels affect only the outermost layer, offering subtle brightening with little to no downtime. Medium-depth peels reach further, addressing more visible pigmentation and texture concerns, with a few days of visible peeling. Deep peels penetrate further still, delivering the most dramatic improvement for scarring or significant sun damage, alongside a longer recovery.
Melasma responds differently than sun damage or acne scarring, so depth and ingredient selection both matter for that condition specifically. Your provider recommends a depth based on your skin’s tolerance and your concern, then builds a plan that may combine a peel series with other treatments for a fuller result.
