Skin by Caroline at Refined with Caroline
Chemical Peels in Rock Hill, SC
Twenty professional peels, matched to your skin's needs. Refined, never rushed.
Go Deeper Than a Facial
A peel asks more of your skin than a facial does, so the choice of formula and strength matters more.
A Full Menu of Peels
Twenty peels from PCA SKIN, Glytone, and BioRePeel, for face and for body. Gentle enzyme treatments through to stronger resurfacing, so there is a strength and a formula to suit your skin.
Usually a Series, Not a Single Visit
A peel exfoliates the surface of the skin, which is a gradual process rather than one dramatic step. Three to six peels spaced a few weeks apart is a common course, though every plan is built around your skin and what you want from it, so Caroline will suggest what suits you rather than a set package.
Controlled, Professional Application
Every peel here is applied by Caroline herself, start to finish. She watches how your skin responds during the treatment and adjusts the strength and the timing as she goes.
Timing
Why peel season starts in September
A peel exfoliates, and freshly exfoliated skin is far more vulnerable to the sun than it was the day before. The cooler months bring less sun exposure, which means a peel course can be worked through with less risk of pigment being driven back to the surface. That is why estheticians concentrate peel courses in the fall and the cooler months rather than at the height of the year.

“Caroline was a delight. I came in today for a chemical peel. I was very nervous since this is my first one. She was very knowledgeable about the skin and she explained everything as she applied it onto my face. I felt comfortable and relaxed. I definitely recommend Caroline for your skin care needs.”

Who does the work
Every peel is done by Caroline
Refined with Caroline is my solo practice in Rock Hill, South Carolina. I am a licensed esthetician and I handle every appointment myself, start to finish. There is no rotating staff and no handing you off partway through.
I look at your skin at the appointment and choose the peel, or adjust the one you booked, based on what I see on the day. If your skin is not ready for the peel you picked, I will say so and treat you accordingly.

Exact prices are listed on each treatment card above.
Which chemical peel is right for me?
It depends on your skin type, your concerns, and your history with acids, which is exactly what a consultation is for. Caroline is a licensed esthetician and will match you to the right formula and strength. If you are new to peels, book the skin care consultation ($55, with a $50 deposit taken at booking and the balance settled at the appointment) and she will build your plan with you.
How many peels will I need?
It depends on your skin and what you are treating. As a general guide, three to six peels spaced three to four weeks apart is a common course, and many people notice a difference around the third. Caroline will suggest a plan based on your skin rather than sell a fixed package, and because peels are booked one at a time you can stop whenever you like.
Is there downtime after a chemical peel?
It varies with the peel and with your skin. Lighter enzyme and lactic treatments typically involve little to no visible peeling, while stronger formulas can bring flaking as skin turns over. Every card on this page carries its downtime level, and Caroline reviews what to expect, and how to care for your skin afterward, at your appointment.
How often should I get a chemical peel?
Professional peels are usually spaced several weeks apart, and the right cadence depends on the peel strength and your skin's response. Caroline will recommend a schedule for your specific treatment plan at your visit.
Do you offer body peels, or only facial peels?
Both. In addition to facial peels, the menu includes body peels for hands ($115), chest and neck ($130), arms with hands included ($150), and lower legs ($185), plus BioRePeel Gold for Body ($200).
How do I book a chemical peel appointment?
Click the booking button on any treatment card on this page. Your booking opens with that exact service already selected, so all you choose is the date and time. Booking runs through GlossGenius, the same system used for every spa service at Refined with Caroline.
Where is the spa located?
Skin by Caroline operates inside Refined with Caroline at 1643 Celanese Road, Rock Hill, SC 29732, serving Rock Hill, York County, Fort Mill, Tega Cay, and the greater Charlotte area. Call or text (980) 999-0974 with any questions.
When should I book a peel?
September onward is when peel courses usually start. A peel exfoliates, and freshly exfoliated skin is far more vulnerable to the sun, so the cooler months with less sun exposure mean less risk of pigment being driven back to the surface. That is why estheticians concentrate peel courses in the fall and the cooler months.
Aftercare
What to have at home
Caroline will talk you through aftercare at the appointment. A few products come up often enough to be worth naming here.
- Sunscreen is the non-negotiable one. Exfoliated skin is more vulnerable to the sun, so daily SPF is part of the treatment, not an extra: IS Clinical Eclipse SPF 50+.
- If congestion is your concern, ask Caroline whether the Glytone Mandelic Gentle Resurfacing Serum fits your routine between visits.
- If dark spots or dullness are the concern, ask Caroline about the IS Clinical Brightening Complex or the Glytone Enhance Brightening Complex.
Still deciding
Not sure which peel?
Book a skin care consultation. It is $55 for 60 minutes, with a $50 deposit taken at booking and the balance settled at your appointment. Caroline looks at your skin, asks what you have used before, and tells you which peel she would start you on.
If you have a question about a peel on this page, ask me. I would rather talk it through with you than have you guess, and if it turns into a bigger conversation about your skin, that is what the consultation is for.
Not ready to commit to a peel?
Start with a facial. It is the gentler way in, and it gives Caroline a chance to see how your skin behaves before anything stronger goes near it. Plenty of people begin there and move on to peels later.
