Professional Chemical Peels in Ottawa — Personalized, Corrective & Results-Driven

Chemical peels are one of the most effective, customizable treatments for improving acne, pigmentation, scarring, texture, fine lines, and overall radiance — but the results depend entirely on the formula, the technique, and the professional behind the treatment. At Barry Beauty Aesthetics, every chemical peel is tailored to your unique skin type, skin history, and treatment goals, ensuring a safe, controlled, and transformative experience.

Under the care of licensed medical aesthetician Keila Barry, our peel protocols are built around science-backed ingredients, advanced corrective skincare principles, and a deep understanding of the skin barrier, making your results both visible and sustainable.

Whether you’re brand new to chemical peels or you’ve been searching for a clinic that prioritizes safety and personalization, you’re in the right place.

What Makes Our Chemical Peels Different?

Chemical peels are not one-size-fits-all. Many spas apply the same peel on every client — but at Barry Beauty Aesthetics, every peel is custom-formulated based on:

Your skin type
Fitzpatrick classification
Current routine
Sensitivities
Breakout patterns
Level of dryness or dehydration
History of pigmentation
Lifestyle triggers
Your long-term goals

We use professional-grade Circadia gel-based peels, ethanol-based peels, and combination modalities to create deep, corrective results while protecting your skin barrier.

✔ Safe for acne-prone skin

✔ Safe for sensitive + reactive skin with proper prep

✔ Safe for pigmentation-prone skin

✔ Safe for textured, dull, or aging skin

✔ Customized strength, layering, and boosters

This is not a “generic peel service.”
This is medical-grade skincare, delivered with precision and expertise.

Types of Chemical Peels We Offer

We customize the treatment based on your skin’s needs, choosing from a selection of Circadia’s advanced formulas.

Gel-Based Peels

These provide controlled exfoliation with minimal irritation, making them perfect for:

Acne
Texture
Congestion
Mild to moderate pigmentation
Dullness

Gel peels are highly versatile and are often layered with enzymes, LED therapy, or targeted serums.

Ethanol-Based Peels (Deep Corrective Peels)

These are stronger peels used for more stubborn concerns and deeper correction.
Ideal for:

Deeper pigmentation
Persistent acne
Thickened skin
Textural irregularities
Fine lines

These peels require proper prep and post-care, which we guide you through fully.

What a Chemical Peel Can Help With

Chemical peels are one of the most powerful tools in corrective skincare because they address multiple concerns at once:

✔ Acne & Breakouts

Reduces congestion, surface bacteria, inflammation, and rebalances the skin.

✔ Acne Scarring

Improves texture and triggers healthy cell turnover.

✔ Pigmentation & Dark Spots

Fades melasma, sun damage, inflammation-related pigmentation, and uneven tone.

✔ Fine Lines & Skin Aging

Supports collagen production and smooths the skin.

✔ Dull, Tired-Looking Skin

Reveals a fresher, brighter complexion.

✔ Texture Irregularities

Softens roughness, dryness, flakes, and uneven patches.

✔ Enlarged Pores

Helps refine pore appearance through exfoliation and oil regulation.

What to Expect During a Chemical Peel at Barry Beauty Aesthetics

Every peel begins with a clinical skin assessment to determine the right formula and strength.

Here’s what your visit includes:

1. Consultation & Skin Analysis

We evaluate your concerns, sensitivities, triggers, and goals.
We also assess your current routine to ensure your barrier is ready for a peel. If it's not, we will put together a routine that will prep your skin so it is strong and will handle the peel well.

2. Gentle Cleanse & degrease the skin

If using a gel-based peel, the treatment begins with a professional enzyme to soften dead skin and enhance the peel’s effectiveness while keeping irritation low.

3. Customized Peel Application

Your peel may include:

Single-layer gel-based peel
Multi-layer ethanol-based peel
Boosters
Neutralizers
Supportive serums
LED therapy (optional add-on depending on the service)

You will feel a warm, tingling sensation — this is normal and temporary.

4. Targeted Treatment Add-Ons (Optional)

Depending on your goals, we may include:

LED therapy
Dermaplaning before gel based peel
Corrective serums
Hydrinity or CO2 Lift Pro post-care mask

These optional upgrades enhance results while reducing downtime.

5. Aftercare Education

We give you specific, easy post-care instructions to ensure safe healing and optimal results.
This includes what to avoid, how to hydrate, and how to support the skin while it renews itself.

How Many Chemical Peels Do I Need?

Chemical peels work best in a series, spaced 4–8 weeks apart.

A typical corrective plan includes:

3–6 peels for acne or pigmentation
2–4 peels for texture + radiance
Ongoing maintenance for age management

If you’re unsure how many you’ll need, we map out your full plan during your consultation.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Chemical Peels?

Most clients can safely receive chemical peels with proper prep.

Ideal candidates include those experiencing:

Acne (mild to moderate)
Pigmentation
Post-inflammatory marks
Melasma
Texture concerns
Early signs of aging
Dull skin
Enlarged pores

Chemical peels are not recommended for:

Active cold sores
Broken skin
Certain medications (Accutane, some antibiotics, etc.)
Pregnancy for certain formulas

We assess everything in your pre-treatment consultation.
