How the peel works
A small-area SKIN SMOOTHING BODY PEEL at our Columbia clinic begins with a thorough cleanse and a pre-peel accelerator mask, followed by the PCA SKIN® Smoothing Body Peel application. This Level 1 treatment delivers controlled exfoliation and gentle resurfacing designed to smooth rough texture, address discoloration, and reduce visible redness while keeping flaking and downtime to a minimum.
The method relies on advanced chemical exfoliation to help accelerate surface cell turnover and clear congested follicles. By removing damaged surface cells and promoting a smoother surface, the peel helps support clearer, healthier-looking skin on targeted small areas without the extended recovery associated with deeper or higher-level peels.
During and aftercare steps
The small-area service is completed in 30 minutes and includes a cleanse, pre-peel accelerator mask, the PCA SKIN® Smoothing Body Peel treatment, hydration, and SPF protection. Your provider will monitor skin response throughout and finish with a hydrating step and sunscreen so treated skin is protected immediately after the procedure.
Most clients experience only minimal flaking and can resume normal activities quickly. Because Columbia has a humid subtropical climate with strong sun in warmer months, we recommend scheduling peels in fall or winter when sun exposure is lower. Evening and weekend appointment options make it easy to pop in before or after commuting on North Beltline or I-77.
Who benefits and results
This corrective small-area peel is suited for clients concerned with body acne, uneven tone, rough texture, or early fine lines on hands, knees, elbows, shoulders, or inner thighs. Your clinician will assess skin sensitivity and recommend a session plan—multiple treatments are typically advised to reach corrective goals rather than a single-session fix.
The small-area treatment is priced at $40 and lasts 30 minutes. For increased corrective intensity, you can explore a Level 2 upgrade—BioRePeelCl3® GOLD Body Solution—during the next booking step. The clinic’s convenient Forest Acres location near the shopping district makes quick visits practical for commuters and local residents.
