Advanced Chemical Peel Treatment in Côte Saint-Luc, Montreal

Chemical peeling is one of the oldest and most effective dermatological treatments, used since ancient Egypt to improve skin quality. At Réhabital clinic in Côte Saint-Luc, we offer the Réhabital Pro Peel — an advanced treatment using exclusive Dermalogica® Pro Power Peel technology — representing the modern evolution of this ancestral technique with unmatched precision and safety.

Our chemical peel protocol uses a customized layering system that allows our aestheticians (Liliana, Elena and Farzaneh) to precisely adjust the intensity and depth of treatment based on your skin type, concerns and tolerance. The solutions used include UltraBright (for radiance), Advanced Renewal (for cell turnover), Mandelic-Malic acid (gentle exfoliation), and MultiVitamins Retinol — a unique complex containing 30% Lactic Acid with Rice-derived Phytic Acid, AHA-rich Grape Juice Extract, Mucor Fungal Extract and Tangerine Peel.

The process works by dissolving the intercellular "glue" holding dead cells on the skin surface. This controlled exfoliation triggers the natural cell renewal process, stimulating collagen and elastin production in deeper layers. The result is visibly younger, smoother and more even skin emerging beneath the treated surface.

Unlike the aggressive peels of the past, our Pro Power Peel is calibrated to deliver significant results with minimal recovery time. Most of our Montreal patients can resume normal activities immediately, with only light flaking for 2 to 5 days. The treatment also includes LED therapy to calm the skin and accelerate healing.

What truly sets clinical chemical peeling at Réhabital apart from spa or at-home treatments is the expertise of our aestheticians and the quality of products used. Our Dermalogica® Pro Power Peel solutions are not available to the general public — they contain active acid concentrations 3 to 5 times higher than over-the-counter products. Clinical-grade glycolic acid, for instance, penetrates to the dermal-epidermal junction where new cells, pigmentation spots, and collagen fibers are formed. This controlled depth of action is what produces visible results impossible to achieve with a pharmacy or spa peel.

An often-overlooked aspect of chemical peeling is its role in preventing skin aging. By regularly stimulating cell renewal (every 4 to 6 weeks), the Pro Peel maintains optimal cell turnover — similar to that of 20-year-old skin — even in patients aged 40, 50 or 60. Studies published in the Journal of Dermatological Science show that regular glycolic acid peels increase type I collagen dermal density by 25 to 40% after 6 months of treatment.

Our clinic at Cavendish Mall in Côte Saint-Luc has treated hundreds of patients for diverse skin concerns — from post-pregnancy melasma to adolescent acne scars to accumulated sun damage. For example, a patient from Hampstead came to us with severe melasma after her second pregnancy. After a program of 5 UltraBright Pro Peel sessions spaced 4 weeks apart, combined with a strict SPF 50+ protocol and Dermalogica home care, her melasma was reduced by over 80%. Today, she maintains her results with a maintenance peel every 8 weeks.

Another remarkable case involved a 45-year-old patient from NDG with significant sun damage and uneven complexion after 20 years of outdoor work. Elena designed a protocol combining the Advanced Renewal Pro Peel with MultiVitamins Retinol — a more intensive treatment targeting both deep wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. After 4 sessions, his skin texture visibly improved, sun spots decreased by 60%, and his colleagues remarked that he "looked 10 years younger."

Our patients from Côte Saint-Luc, Hampstead, Westmount, NDG and Snowdon choose our Pro Peel for its ability to effectively treat dull complexion, age spots, fine lines, superficial acne scars and uneven texture — all in a 50 to 60-minute session. For optimal results, we recommend a program of 3 sessions spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart, accompanied by daily SPF and home care advised by our aestheticians.

Why choose Réhabital over a spa or medical aesthetics clinic for your chemical peel? First, our 30+ years of clinical experience give us unmatched expertise in skin assessment and protocol customization. Second, our multidisciplinary approach means we can combine peeling with other treatments (microneedling, Hydr-O2, LED) for synergistic results. Third, our Cavendish Mall location offers easy access with free parking — a significant advantage for patients across Montreal's West Island.
