A chemical peel is a professional skin treatment that lifts away the dull, damaged top layer of your skin so new, smoother skin can show through. At InjectCo Austin, a licensed nurse applies a light to medium peel that is matched to your skin type and goal, whether that is to treat uneven tone, rough texture, acne, or dark spots.
You are treated inside our clinic on East 6th Street, part of our full med spa in Austin, by a nurse who works under physician oversight. This is careful, medical-grade skin work.
Genniel, RN
A chemical peel works by placing a safe acid solution on the skin for a short time. The solution loosens the bond between old surface cells and the healthy skin below. Over the next few days, new skin that looks clearer and more even emerges. Your nurse controls exactly how deep the peel goes by choosing the formula and how long it stays on.
Your care in Austin is led by Genniel, RN, a Clinical Aesthetic Nurse Injector. Genniel is a registered nurse who focuses on injectables and medical-grade skin treatments. Her approach is simple: assess your skin type and concern, and recommend a suitable peel type. You’ll meet her at your free consultation, where she reviews your goals and answers every question first.
Chemical peel pricing at InjectCo reflects medical-grade formulas and licensed nurse care. Your exact price depends on the peel depth you need and how many areas you treat.
Many patients choose a series of three peels spaced a few weeks apart for tone and texture goals. Your nurse injector gives you a clear plan and price at your consultation.

Many patients combine a peel with other nurse-led skin treatments over time.
If your main goal is texture, scars, or firmness, ask about microneedling in Austin, which builds collagen with tiny channels in the skin.
If unwanted hair is also on your list, laser hair removal in Austin pairs well with a peel plan.

Your price depends on the peel depth and how many areas you treat, so we set the exact number at your free consultation. In Austin, professional peels commonly run from about $150 to $300 for a single session, with lower per-peel pricing when you buy a series. Your nurse recommends only the depth your skin needs so you are not paying for more than that.
Pay for the right peel, not the cheapest one. A light peel costs less than a medium peel because it uses gentler acids and has no real downtime. A medium peel does more for scars and deep discoloration, so it costs more. The best value is a nurse choosing the correct depth for your skin and your goal, which is what happens at your consultation.
Most providers ask you to wait about six months after you finish Accutane (isotretinoin) before a chemical peel. The medicine makes skin more fragile and slower to heal, which raises the risk of scarring. Your nurse reviews your history first and will not treat until it is safe to do so.
They can. A light peel with salicylic or lactic acid can smooth the rough, bumpy skin of keratosis pilaris on the arms and legs and help clear the clogged follicles behind it. KP tends to come back over time, so most people keep it in check with a peel series plus a good at-home routine your nurse suggests.
Not much. A light peel usually feels like tingling or mild warmth for a few minutes while it is on. A medium peel feels stronger and can sting briefly, but it is short, and your nurse stays with you the whole time. Any real discomfort settles quickly once the peel is neutralized or removed.
It depends on the depth. A light peel has little to no downtime, with maybe some light flaking for a few days. A medium peel brings about three to seven days of visible peeling, redness, and dryness while new skin comes in. You will get simple aftercare steps and will need daily sunscreen while your skin heals.
Yes, when the peel is chosen with care. Deeper skin tones can be more prone to dark marks (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation), so our nurses lean toward lighter, well-controlled peels and the right prep for your skin. This is exactly why a nurse-led, medical-grade peel is safer for darker skin than a one-size peel at a walk-in spa.
Peels are strongest for uneven tone, dull texture, clogged pores, active acne, acne scars, sun spots, melasma, and early fine lines. If your main concern is deep wrinkles or loose skin, your nurse may point you toward microneedling or another option instead, so you spend your money where it actually helps.
For a fresh glow before an event, one peel is often enough. For tone, texture, acne, or scarring, most patients do a series of three peels spaced a few weeks apart, then come back for upkeep as needed. Your nurse gives you a clear plan at your consultation so you know what to expect.
A licensed nurse applies your peel at our East 6th Street clinic, under physician oversight. You are not handed off to a technician. Because your nurse controls the peel depth and watches your skin the entire time, you get a treatment matched to you, which is the heart of nurse-led care.
