If you’re looking to improve your skin’s texture, tone, and overall radiance, both chemical peels and microneedling are powerful options. But which one is right for you? At The Parlour, we get this question all the time—and the answer depends on your specific skin goals. In this post, we’ll break down the differences between the two treatments, their benefits, downtime, and who each one is best for.
Feature | Chemical Peel | Microneedling |
Main Action | Exfoliates top layers of skin | Stimulates collagen below the surface |
Target Concerns | Pigmentation, acne, dullness | Scarring, texture, pores, wrinkles |
Downtime | Light flaking to moderate peeling | Redness for 24–72 hours |
Results Timeline | Visible in 3–7 days | Gradual improvement over weeks |
Pain Level | Mild stinging | Slight discomfort, numbing used |
Recommended Series | Every 4–6 weeks | Every 4–6 weeks, 3–6 sessions recommended |
Yes! In fact, many clients see the best results when they alternate between peels and microneedling. For example, a client might start with a few peels to clear pigmentation, then move on to microneedling to improve texture and boost collagen.
At The Parlour, we customize every treatment plan based on your skin’s unique needs—and often recommend combination therapies for the best long-term results.
