New York City life takes a toll on skin—pollution, stress, and long days leave their mark.
A resurfacing chemical peel facial is a simple, science-backed way to refresh your complexion and encourage healthier cell turnover. At Nios Spa, we use modern peel formulas that are effective yet gentle, helping smooth uneven texture, soften fine lines, and restore a natural glow. Think of it as a quiet reset for your skin—because even in a city that never slows down, your skin deserves a moment to recharge.
What is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is like hitting refresh on your skin. Using a carefully chosen blend of acids, this treatment gently dissolves the outer layer of dead, tired skin cells to reveal the smoother, healthier skin beneath. At Nios Spa in NYC, we customize the strength of each peel—whether you’re dipping your toes in with a light exfoliation or going deeper for more dramatic renewal. Chemical peels improve tone, brighten dullness, and encourage collagen production, all while helping to soften fine lines and fade stubborn spots. Don’t let the word “peel” scare you—this isn’t a one-size-fits-all skin strip. Modern peels are safe, effective, and tailored to your skin’s needs, making them a great way to restore radiance.
Chemical peels deliver gradual yet noticeable improvements in both the look and feel of your skin.

Who is a chemical
peel for?
Chemical peels are targeted exfoliation for real skin goals.
Here’s who tends to love them — and when to skip.
- Want to wake up dull skin that feels "tired" from pollution or city life.
- Have uneven texture or rough patches you want to smooth out.
- Want brighter-looking tone and to address hyperpigmentation or sun spots.
- Deal with occasional breakouts or surface congestion.
- Are ready for a deeper reset than a standard fluffy facial.
- Are pregnant or nursing.
- Have active eczema, rosacea, or open wounds.
- Are using Accutane/Isotretinoin (hard stop) or Retin-A/Retinoids (we'll guide you on pausing before treatment).
Aftercare
For the first few days, treat your skin gently: think hydrating serums, lightweight moisturizers, and SPF. Skip the heavy workouts, saunas, and exfoliating scrubs—your fresh skin needs time to settle in. You may notice light flaking or pinkness, but that’s just your skin renewing itself. Within a week, you’ll notice clearer, smoother texture and an enviable glow. If you have any questions after the facial, don't hesitate to ask our certified estheticians to give you tailored post-care instructions so you can maximize your results without guesswork. Follow them, and your skin will thank you with the kind of radiance that makes people ask, “Did you just get back from vacation?”
Your Questions,
Our Answers!
-
Will my skin peel off like in the movies?
Not quite—our modern formulas exfoliate gently. You may experience light flaking, not horror-movie shedding.
-
How often should I get a chemical peel?
For best results, every 4–6 weeks. We can recommend a personalized plan after your first treatment.
-
Is it painful?
Most clients feel mild tingling or warmth. Nothing dramatic—more “spicy tingle” than “ouch.”
-
Can I wear makeup after?
We recommend waiting 24 hours to let your skin breathe. After that, your foundation will glide on smoother than ever.
-
What skin types can benefit?
Most! From oily to combination to dry, peels can be customized. If you’re highly sensitive, we’ll adjust your treatment accordingly.
-
How soon will I see results?
You’ll likely notice a post-facial glow right away, with longer-term improvements in tone and texture after multiple sessions.
