Say hello to smoother, brighter skin with a chemical peel at SOMA Cosmetic Surgery & Aesthetics in Des Moines.
When you visit SOMA for chemical peels in Des Moines, we’ll apply an acidic solution to your skin. This solution penetrates the upper layers of your skin to chemically exfoliate dead cells and stimulates new, healthy growth. After we neutralize the acid and clean your face, the dead cells will flake away, uncovering brighter skin underneath.

Frequently Asked Questions
The amount of downtime required after a chemical peel depends on the strength of the peel. Deeper peels take longer to heal, so you’ll have a longer downtime and recovery period. However, deeper peels have the potential to deliver more dramatic results than light peels.
During your consultation for chemical peels in Des Moines, we’ll work with you to balance your skin’s needs and the amount of downtime required. We’ll help you choose the right peel for the best results based on these factors.
How frequently you can get a chemical peel depends mostly on the strength of the peel. You can get superficial or “light” peels more frequently than deep peels because they require less downtime and recovery.
Generally, we can perform light peels every 3 to 6 weeks, while we recommend spacing medium peels several months apart. You should receive deep peels only once or twice a year. Before starting your care plan, our team will help you decide the right peel and frequency for your unique skin.
Yes, you can see brighter, healthier skin after just one peel! However, you may require multiple chemical peel treatments to fully achieve your goals. Before you schedule your chemical peels in Des Moines, we’ll let you know about how many peels it’ll take to reach your goals.
During a chemical peel, some patients may experience a tingling, itching, or a heating sensation, but most people find these feelings completely manageable. Whether or not you feel discomfort will depend on your pain threshold, your skin’s sensitivity, and the peel’s strength.
