With Jenna Dunham
The Cortina approach
The right level of exfoliation begins with assessment.
A chemical peel uses a professionally applied solution to create controlled exfoliation. The selected protocol influences the expected skin response and recovery. Jenna confirms what is appropriate after evaluating the skin rather than treating every appointment as the same procedure.
When a peel may fit
More active exfoliation, selected carefully.
A peel may be considered when the cosmetic goal involves dullness, uneven looking tone, visible congestion, or surface texture. Suitability is confirmed at the appointment.
Uneven looking tone
For selected visible surface discoloration when appropriate.
Visible congestion
For buildup that may benefit from controlled exfoliation.
Surface texture
For roughness or irregular texture that may respond to a more active treatment.
Medical boundary
Painful, inflamed, scarring, or otherwise concerning skin changes may warrant medical dermatology evaluation instead of, or alongside, aesthetic care. An aesthetic peel does not replace diagnosis or medical treatment. Cortina can coordinate the appropriate starting point.
Booking + pricing
Choose the visit that fits your starting point.
Book the treatment directly when a chemical peel is already the intended service. Choose a consultation when you want assessment and planning without treatment that day.
Chemical Peel

Choosing a service
Chemical Peel or Clinical Custom Facial?
Neither service is automatically better. The distinction is the level of exfoliation, the treatment experience, and the recovery you are prepared to manage.
Choose a Chemical Peel
For controlled exfoliation selected after assessment, with the understanding that visible flaking or recovery may occur.
Book Chemical PeelChoose a Clinical Custom Facial
For customized cleansing, exfoliation, extractions, hydration, calming support, and skincare guidance with generally less interruption.

Chemical peel questions
Before you book.
What is a chemical peel?
A chemical peel uses a professionally applied solution to create controlled exfoliation. The selected protocol and expected skin response are determined after assessment.
Can I book a Chemical Peel without a consultation first?
Yes. You may book the Chemical Peel appointment directly. Jenna will still assess the skin before treatment and may modify, defer, or recommend another service when a peel is not appropriate that day.
Which type of peel will I receive?
There is no single protocol for every appointment. Jenna selects from the options currently available at Cortina based on skin condition, sensitivity, current products, recent procedures, goals, and expected recovery.
Will my skin visibly peel?
Possibly. Visible peeling can range from little flaking to more noticeable shedding. The response varies with the selected protocol and individual skin, and Jenna will explain what to expect.
How should I prepare?
Share current products and medications, recent procedures, relevant health and healing history, active irritation, infection, or open skin, and recent sun exposure. Follow only the preparation instructions provided for the selected peel. Do not stop prescription medication unless the prescribing clinician instructs you to do so.
What if the concern seems medical?
Painful, inflamed, scarring, or otherwise concerning skin changes may warrant medical dermatology evaluation instead of, or alongside, aesthetic care. Cortina can coordinate the appropriate starting point.
Are Chemical Peels covered by insurance?
No. Chemical Peels are elective self pay aesthetic services and are not billed to insurance.
