A chemical peel removes the tired outer layers of the skin so that fresher skin replaces them. We use two lines: Image Skincare peels, which are light and need little or no downtime, and VI Peel, a medium-depth peel for pigment, acne, acne scarring and fine lines. Every price is listed below. Our licensed esthetician performs the peels and will help you choose the one that suits your skin.

Which Peel Is Right for You?
The right peel depends on what you want to change and how much downtime you can take.
•Dull skin, uneven tone, early fine lines, or your first peel — an Image Skincare peel, or the VI Peel Original.
•Dark spots, sun damage or melasma — the Image Lightening Lift, or the VI Peel Precision Plus.
•Active breakouts or oily skin — the Image Acne Lift, or the VI Peel Purify.
•Acne scars and the dark marks acne leaves behind — the VI Peel Purify with Precision Plus.
•Deeper lines and skin that has lost firmness — the VI Peel Advanced.
•Skin below the collarbone — back, chest, arms, hands, bikini area — the VI Peel Body.
If you are not sure, our esthetician will look at your skin and recommend one.
Image Skincare Peels
Light peels with little or no visible peeling. They suit a first peel, a busy week, or regular upkeep between stronger treatments. Each takes about 40 minutes and costs $140.
•Wrinkle Lift Peel — glycolic acid and retinol, with vitamin C, for fine lines and skin that has lost its bounce.
•Acne Lift Peel — a combination of AHA and BHA acids to clear and calm oily, blemish-prone skin.
•Lightening Lift Peel — lactic acid, kojic acid and vitamin C with botanical brighteners, for dark spots, sun damage and dull skin.
•Signature Facelift Peel — a gentle peel with vitamin C, hyaluronic acid and plant enzymes, for dull, dehydrated or irritated skin. It suits sensitive skin and makes a good first peel.
•ORMEDIC Enzyme Peel — very mild, with aloe, pumpkin and papaya enzymes, for sensitive or reactive skin, or skin recovering after a stronger treatment.
VI Peel
A medium-depth peel. You leave looking much as you came in; the skin then peels over the following week. VI Peel comes in six formulas, and we offer all of them:
•VI Peel Original — for sensitive skin, a first VI Peel, early signs of aging and rough texture.
•VI Peel Advanced — the deepest of the range, for wrinkles and skin that has lost firmness.
•VI Peel Precision Plus — for pigment: sun damage, dark spots and melasma.
•VI Peel Purify — for active and hormonal acne and oily, congested skin.
•VI Peel Purify with Precision Plus — for acne scarring and the dark marks left after breakouts.
•VI Peel Body — for skin below the collarbone: discoloration, body acne, rough bumps (keratosis pilaris) and the look of stretch marks.
VI Peel is made for all skin tones, including darker skin.
What to Expect
Before. Keep the area out of the sun and away from tanning beds for four weeks. Stop exfoliants, hair-removal creams and retinol products one week before. If you have taken isotretinoin (Accutane) in the last six months, wait. If you get cold sores, tell us when you book — a peel can bring one on, and we can arrange something to prevent it.
On the day. Our esthetician cleans the skin and applies the peel in thin layers. You may feel warmth or a mild sting for a few minutes; a hand-held fan helps. An Image peel takes about 40 minutes and a VI Peel about 45.
Afterwards. After an Image peel, the skin may look a little pink and feel dry for a day or two. After a VI Peel on the face, flaking usually starts on day two or three, peeling runs for a few days, and by about day seven it has settled. The body can take up to ten days. Keep out of the sun, do not pick the peeling skin, and follow your aftercare. The full instructions are on the Chemical Peel Aftercare Instructions page. VI Peel clients also go home with a kit and its own instructions.
How many. One peel makes a visible difference. For a lasting change, most people have three to six peels, four to six weeks apart.
Is a Chemical Peel Right for You?
Chemical peels suit most people who want to improve tone, texture, pigment, breakouts or fine lines. Skin tone on its own is not a reason to avoid a peel; the choice of peel matters more.
A peel is not the right choice if you:
•are pregnant or breastfeeding
•have taken isotretinoin (Accutane) in the last six months
•have an active cold sore, open wound or skin infection in the area
•are allergic to aspirin, phenol or hydroquinone (VI Peel)
•are having chemotherapy or radiation, or have had it in the last six months
•have an autoimmune or liver condition, or a condition that weakens the immune system
A peel will not lift sagging skin or soften deep folds. If that is your main concern, ask about Ultherapy or our other anti-aging treatments.

What is the difference between an Image peel and a VI Peel?
Image peels are light: little or no visible peeling and almost no downtime. VI Peel is a medium-depth peel: you peel for several days and the change is stronger.
How long does peeling last after a VI Peel?
On the face, flaking usually starts on day two or three and settles by about day seven. The body can take up to ten days.
Can you peel darker skin?
Yes. VI Peel is made for all skin tones, and our esthetician chooses the peel and the preparation to suit your skin.
How many peels will I need?

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Moazemi at Beau Visage Aesthetics! He is truly amazing at what he does. His gentle approach, attention to detail, and dedication to making you feel comfortable really set him apart. He takes his time, listens to your concerns, and has such an artistic eye when it comes to aesthetics. I especially appreciate how he focuses on enhancing your natural beauty rather than overdoing it. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and the quality of his work. I highly recommend him!
I can’t recommend Dr. Moazemi enough! I originally went to him for Botox, and from my very first appointment, he made me feel completely comfortable. He took the time to walk me through everything, explain the process, and patiently answer my million questions without ever making me feel rushed.
I’ve now gone to him three times, and I will absolutely continue going back. He’s incredibly kind, knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares about making sure you feel comfortable and informed. I’ve had such a great experience every single time. Highly recommend Dr. Moazemi!
Had a great experience at Beau Visage Aesthetics for my facial laser treatment! The entire experience was professional, welcoming, and informative from start to finish. Everything was explained clearly, all of my questions were answered, and I felt completely comfortable throughout the treatment. You can tell they genuinely care about their clients and the results they’re providing. I’m excited to continue my sessions and see the progress. Highly recommend Beau Visage Aesthetics!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about my visit today! From the moment you walk into this med spa, there is such an inviting, beautiful vibe that immediately puts you at ease. I started my appointment with a Deluxe HydraFacial with Jenn, and she truly blew it out of the water—her skin expertise, technique, and massage are next-level, and I left the treatment room completely relaxed with glowing, refreshed skin. From there, I saw Dr. Moazemi for an IPL treatment on my chest and hands. As a mature client, finding practitioners who truly understand aging skin is everything, and Dr. Moazemi is remarkably knowledgeable, thorough, and reassuring throughout the entire process. Having already seen noticeable results right away from a previous laser treatment here, I am incredibly excited to see my full before-and-after results and to continue my skin journey with them. If you are looking for a med spa that pairs high-level clinical skill with genuine warmth, this is absolutely the place—highly, highly recommend!
HydraFacial with Jennifer is truly a luxury experience. My skin always looks and feels amazing afterward: hydrated, refreshed, and glowing. Jennifer makes the whole experience so relaxing and enjoyable. I always look forward to my appointments with her!
I’ve gone to Dr. Moazemi at Beau Visage several times, including visits with colleagues, laser treatments and microneedling. He is always incredibly kind, gentle, and easy to work with. He takes his time, makes you feel comfortable, and is very accommodating with scheduling. His pricing is also excellent and very reasonable for the quality of care and treatments he provides. I’ve had a consistently great experience and would definitely recommend him!
I started microneedling with Dr. Moazemi this year and the results have been amazing, my skin is glowy and bouncy. I’d had microneedling before elsewhere and never got results like this. Dr. Moazemi is thorough in explaining treatments and recommends plans that actually deliver.
I also get hydrafacials from Jen, and I bring my mom too, we both love the results, especially before big events.
The space is friendly and professional from top to bottom. Highly recommend!!
I have gotten treatments from both Jen and Dr. Moazemi and would highly recommend this clinic! They are so friendly and professional and love that they offer such a wide range of services. 10/10 would recommend!
I cannot recommend Beau Visage highly enough, and Dr. Moazemi is truly in a league of his own. Not only is he exceptionally skilled in facial aesthetics, but his bedside manner is also unparalleled. He is incredibly kind, patient, and always takes the time to thoroughly answer every question I have so I never feel rushed. In an industry that can sometimes feel transactional, it is very clear that Dr. Moazemi genuinely cares about achieving the best possible outcomes for his patients rather than just pushing procedures. I completely trust him with my face and wouldn’t go to anyone else.
I had an appointment with Dr. Moazemi for Botox and filler, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. From the start, he took the time to thoroughly explain the procedures, including the areas that could be improved, and never pressured me into anything. He’s kind, confident, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout.
It’s only day 3, and I can already see results! I know the final results aren’t fully settled yet, but I can already notice more symmetry and natural enhancement. I highly recommend Dr. Moazemi to anyone looking for someone professional, thoughtful, and talented.
I have been coming to Dr. Moazemi for treatments over the last year including Botox, PRP injections, and recently a Hydrafacial. I couldn’t recommend him enough! Everyone was so kind and professional. Pricing was very fair, especially since you are receiving the best quality of care and products. Dr. Moazemi was incredibly knowledgeable about facial anatomy and took the time to explain everything. I’m very happy with my results and my skin has never looked better. I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone!
I really enjoyed my experience here! I’ve had a few facials with Jen and her and Dr. Moazemi do a phenomenal job helping you with all the treatments they provide and also do a wonderful job educating you on how to take care of your skin. I’ve had the Hydrafacial and the Ultimate Glow Facial and you can’t go wrong with anything in their menu. 10/10 you’ll leave feeling absolutely satisfied after your session.
After reading the tons of positive online reviews about the Beau Visage Aesthetics, I decided to give it a try. And I'm so glad I did. I've been a client for about 2 years now, and i couldn't have been happier. Dr. Moazemi is very knowledgeable and patient. He explains the procedures in details and takes the time to answer all the questions. His precise hand and knowledge about human anatomy and physiology plays a big role in the always best outcomes of every procedure he does.I trust Dr.Moazemi 100%, and I highly recommend him. Thank you for keeping me beautiful :))
Dr. Moazemi has been wonderful to work with. When I started considering laser hair removal I called around to so many places because I know working with Hispanic skin can be challenging and not all lasers work. Dr. Moazemi called me back personally to discuss the options and make a recommendation. I’ve had two treatments so far and have had way more hair reduction than I expected. His prices are also very good for this area. Highly recommend Beau Visage!
