Chemical peels are often looked at as unsafe for people with sensitive skin, but the truth is, not all peels are created equal. BioRePeel is a modern peel, designed for little to no downtime while still delivering even better results than you see with traditional chemical peels. This makes it one of the most effective and approachable peel options for many sensitive skin types.
In this blog, we break down what the BioRePeel is and how it works, why it’s safe for sensitive skin, and who should avoid treatment.
What Is BioRePeel?
BioRePeel is a chemical peel that combines exfoliating acids with ingredients that work to nourish the skin. It’s different from a lot of traditional peels that only focus on exfoliation. BioRePeel works in two ways: Exfoliating and renewing the skin while also supporting hydration and barrier health. This balance is what makes it effective without being overly aggressive, and why it’s often well tolerated by sensitive skin.
Is BioRePeel Safe for Sensitive Skin?
Yes, with proper assessment and professional modification, BioRePeel can be safe and beneficial for many people with sensitive skin.
What sets BioRePeel apart from harsher peels:
- Lower probability for skin to become irritated compared to traditional TCA peels
- No excessive peeling or prolonged downtime
- Formulated with amino acids and vitamins to help calm and protect the skin
- Designed to support the skin barrier rather than compromise it
That said, sensitive skin is never one-size-fits-all. This is why we always recommend you book an initial facial so one of our licensed estheticians can properly assess your skin before treatment.
How BioRePeel Is Customized for Sensitive Skin
At Silver Mirror, BioRePeel is never a cookie-cutter treatment. Each treatment is tailored based on your skin’s condition, history, and tolerance level.
Common Modifications for Sensitive Skin
- Reduced contact time with the peel
- Fewer layers of the peel solution
- Targeted application, avoiding reactive or compromised areas
- Extended intervals between peel sessions
For some guests, BioRePeel is introduced gradually as part of a long-term skin plan rather than using it more frequently. The goal is always progress, not disruption.
Who Is a Good Candidate?
BioRePeel may be a good option for sensitive skin types experiencing:
- Dullness or uneven texture
- Acne or congestion
- Redness from inflammation
- Early signs of aging
- Hyperpigmentation (with proper preparation)
A professional consultation is essential to determine if this treatment is right for you.
Contraindications: When BioRePeel Should Be Avoided
Even gentle treatments have limits. BioRePeel is not recommended if you:
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have active skin infections, open wounds, or compromised skin
- Have a known allergy to any peel ingredients
- Are currently using isotretinoin (or have within the last 6 months)
- Have uncontrolled rosacea, eczema, or dermatitis in the treatment area
- Are experiencing a severe skin flare or barrier disruption
If your skin is reactive, inflamed, or sensitized, your esthetician may recommend focusing on barrier repair first, or choosing an alternative treatment.
What to Expect After Treatment
Most sensitive-skin clients experience:
- Mild warmth or tingling during treatment
- Temporary redness that typically subsides within hours
- Little to no visible peeling
- Brighter, smoother-looking skin within a few days
Post-Care Recommendations
Post-care is critical for optimal results. We recommend:
- Gentle cleansing only
- Avoiding exfoliants and retinoids for at least one week
- Daily broad-spectrum SPF
- Consistent use of barrier-repair moisturizers
Transform Sensitive Skin with BioRePeel
Having sensitive skin doesn’t mean you need to avoid professional treatments altogether. When customized and performed by experienced professionals, BioRePeel can be a safe, effective way to refresh and strengthen sensitive skin, without the downtime or trauma of traditional peels.
The key is personalization, proper timing, and expert guidance.
If you have sensitive skin but want all the benefits of a chemical peel, BioRePeel may be the right place to start. Book your BioRePeel or an initial facial with one of our estheticians to determine the best approach for your skin.
