Safe Chemical Peels for Every Skin Type and Tone in Edmonton
Not all peels are the same. Learn how Ariana Esthetic tailors chemical peels for oily, dry, sensitive, and darker skin tones.


Chemical peels are not one-size-fits-all. Because different acids penetrate the skin at varying molecular weights and depths, selecting the wrong peel strength or formula can lead to irritation, burns, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)—especially on deeper skin tones.
Under the medical supervision of Dr. Sara Hashemzadeh, a Canadian board-certified dermatologist, Ariana Esthetic provides customized, skin-type-safe chemical peel protocols in Edmonton. Here is how to choose the safest, most effective peel for your unique skin profile.
Chemical Peels for Skin of Color: Protecting Your Pigment
For individuals with darker skin tones, aggressive exfoliation or improper laser/peel protocols can trigger dark spots or patchy discoloration. Safe peeling for skin of color requires:
Larger Molecule Acids: Mandelic acid penetrates slowly, reducing the risk of inflammation and melanocyte reactivation.
Superficial to Medium Depths: Sticking to controlled, progressive exfoliation over multiple sessions rather than deep, aggressive peels.
Tyrosinase Inhibitors: Pre-treating skin with topical pigment-regulators prior to a chemical peel to suppress unwanted melanin production.
