Peels & Skincare

Medical-grade chemical peels and customized skincare treatments for every skin type and concern.

Chemical peels and medical-grade skincare treatments are some of the most effective tools for addressing hyperpigmentation, acne, texture irregularities, and signs of aging. At Kintsu Medical Aesthetics in Manassas Park, VA, we offer VI Peel, ZO Skin Health peels, dermaplaning, custom medical-grade facials, and CO2Lift carboxytherapy masks. What matters with peels, especially for melanin-rich skin, is choosing the right peel at the right strength for your skin type. The wrong peel on darker skin can trigger rebound hyperpigmentation that is worse than what you started with. Every peel at Kintsu is selected and supervised with your Fitzpatrick type and pigment risk in mind.

Who It's For

Our peels and skincare treatments are for patients dealing with dull skin, uneven tone, acne (both active and post-inflammatory), fine lines, sun damage, and textural concerns. If you have Fitzpatrick III through VI skin, you may have been told to avoid chemical peels entirely. That is often wrong. The right peel, at the right concentration, applied with proper technique, delivers excellent results on melanin-rich skin. Our VI Peel Purify is specifically formulated for acne-prone skin, while our medium-depth peels address deeper hyperpigmentation and aging concerns. Dermaplaning offers instant brightening by removing dead skin cells and vellus hair without chemical agents. Patients from Manassas, Woodbridge, Bristow, Gainesville, and across Northern Virginia trust Kintsu for peels that are safe and effective for their skin.

What to Expect

Chemical peel treatments at Kintsu take about 45 minutes. After cleansing, the peel solution is applied in layers. You may feel a warm tingling sensation during application. Peeling typically begins 2 to 3 days after treatment and lasts 3 to 7 days depending on the peel depth. During this time, you will follow a specific post-peel skincare protocol we provide. Dermaplaning is painless and takes about 30 minutes, with no downtime at all. Our medical-grade facials are customized to your specific concerns using professional ZO Skin Health or SkinMedica products. For all peel treatments, sun protection is essential during the healing process, and we will provide detailed aftercare instructions.

The Kintsu Difference

Why Choose Kintsu for Peels & Skincare

Chemical peels carry real risk when applied without understanding how melanin responds to chemical exfoliation. At Kintsu, Dr. Nawal ensures that every peel protocol accounts for your skin's pigment potential. We start conservatively, monitor your skin's response, and build intensity over time when appropriate. This is the opposite of the one-size-fits-all peel approach you will find at many medspas. We also pair peels with complementary treatments and home care products that support your results and reduce the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. That clinical rigor is why patients across Prince William County and Northern Virginia come to Kintsu for their peels and skincare treatments.

Kintsu Medical Aesthetics is located at 9110 Railroad Drive, Suite 320-A, Manassas Park, VA 20111. We serve patients throughout Northern Virginia and Prince William County, including Manassas, Woodbridge, Bristow, Gainesville, Haymarket, and surrounding communities.
