Help Your Skin Heal Itself
If you’re experiencing skin problems like age spots, melasma, hyperpigmentation, acne, and other chronic concerns, finding a solution can feel impossible. However, there is a safe and effective way to renew the skin and allow healthy skin cells to replace damaged ones. At The Piazza Center, our experienced nonsurgical team can help you get clearer skin with chemical peels in Austin customized to your needs and lifestyle.
The Science
Why Chemical Peels Are So Effective
Skin cell turnover is the key to repairing damaged skin, whether that damage is caused by acne, melasma, or age. A new cell begins life deep in the lower layers of the dermis and travels to the epidermis, or top layer of the skin, over the course of its lifespan. Mature cells that reach the top are then shed — this cycle of shedding and rebirth is what keeps dead or damaged skin cells from accumulating on the skin’s surface.
As we age, skin cell turnover, unfortunately, slows down considerably. An infant’s skin cells renew every 2 weeks; a 25-year-old’s skin cells only regenerate every 30–35 days. This is a natural part of the aging process, but chemical peels are a proven, effective way to help our largest organ increase cell turnover.
How It Works
Chemical peels,
step by step.
In simple terms, chemical peels are chemical solutions of varying strengths applied topically. Many are acidic in nature, and they function by ‘burning off’ the damaged cells on the surface layer of the skin. Removing these damaged cells allows healthy cells to emerge, improving conditions like acne scarring, irregular skin texture and tone, and hyperpigmentation, among others. For most patients, a series of treatments spaced months apart are necessary to achieve desired results.
- 01
Cleanse & Prep
We situate you comfortably in our serene, spa-like office and cleanse your face of any creams, makeup, or residue before prepping your skin for treatment.
- 02
Peel Application
The chemical peel is carefully spread on the face and neck and left on for a specific period of time, which varies according to the strength of the peel.
- 03
Removal & Home Care
After the peel is removed, we give you a detailed guide that walks you through how to carefully tend to your skin in the days that follow.

Our Philosophy
We Don’t Limit Treatment to One Area
At The Piazza Center in Austin, we believe a comprehensive, holistic approach to facial rejuvenation is key for results that look natural and last long. We assess three areas before performing any skin rejuvenation treatment:
- The skin texture and tone
- Muscle movement
- Bone structure & fat volume
We find that treating these three areas simultaneously is the best way to address underlying problems and craft a customized Annual Beauty Plan that will effectively deliver results.
Aftercare
Your recovery,
day by day.
- 01
Days 1–3
We advise patients to let their skin rest for 2–3 days, avoiding any treatments or ointments aside from those we recommend. Skin may feel like a sunburn — tender and dry — and redness is normal.
- 02
Days 2–3
Most patients see dead skin cells start to peel off around this time, as fresh, healthy skin emerges beneath.
- 03
1 Week
Side effects typically clear up within a week. In the weeks that follow, avoid direct sunlight and protect the skin with full-coverage hats and medical-grade sunscreen.
Investment

During your consultation, Dr. Piazza will evaluate your skin and offer a customized care plan with cost details.
