How much does Pumpkin Peel + Ultra cost?

Pumpkin Peel + Ultra starts at $129 for a 55-minute treatment. For $139, you can upgrade to the version with Ruby Lux red light therapy built in — extra collagen support and glow, at a savings over adding red light separately. Your esthetician will confirm everything with you before your treatment begins, so there are never surprises.

Will my skin peel afterward?

For most clients, no — that's what makes this peel special. You get the resurfacing and brightening of a clinical-strength treatment without the sheet-peeling of a traditional chemical peel. Some clients notice light flaking in thinner areas (like around the nose or mouth) for a day or two, but it's minimal and easy to cover with moisturizer. You can go back to work, dinner, or errands right after your appointment.

Is this peel right for me?

Pumpkin Peel + Ultra is a great fit if you're dealing with dullness, rough texture, fine lines, congestion, or uneven tone — or you simply want our deepest pumpkin glow without downtime. It works for both anti-aging and acne-prone skin, and the strength is customized to you. A few exceptions: if you're pregnant or nursing (this peel contains salicylic acid), have used Accutane recently, or have a sunburn or active cold sore, we'll steer you to a gentler facial instead. Not sure? Choose our 'I Have No Idea!' Custom Peel and we'll match the blend to your skin on the day.

How often can I get this peel?

Most clients do this peel every 4–6 weeks. Your skin therapist will recommend the ideal frequency based on your skin and goals during your visit in our Hillcrest studio.

What's the difference between the regular Pumpkin Peel and Pumpkin Peel + Ultra?

The Ultra version uses a higher-potency clinical acid blend (mandelic, lactic, and salicylic) layered with pumpkin enzyme for deeper results, while still keeping downtime very low.

Can I get this peel if I have darker skin?

Yes. This peel was designed with all skin tones in mind — mandelic acid, the backbone of the blend, is one of the gentlest resurfacing acids and a favorite for deeper skin tones because it carries a much lower risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation than harsher peels. We assess your skin and customize the strength at every visit.

Clinical-Strength Pumpkin Peel in San Diego

Pumpkin Peel + Ultra is our strongest pumpkin enzyme treatment. It combines high-potency pumpkin enzyme with a professional blend of mandelic, lactic, and salicylic acids for deeper resurfacing, brighter tone, and smoother texture — with almost no visible peeling.

This is the version clients choose when they want noticeable results without the downtime of a traditional chemical peel.

What Makes Pumpkin Peel + Ultra Different

Clinical Acid Blend
25% mandelic + 10% lactic + 2% salicylic layered with high-potency pumpkin enzyme for deeper, more even results.

Almost No Peeling
Dramatic resurfacing and brightening with only occasional light flaking in thinner areas — not the heavy peeling of traditional peels.

Works for Anti-Aging & Acne
Smooths fine lines and firms while also clearing congestion and refining texture.

Immediate Glow
You leave with visible radiance the same day. Results continue improving over the following days.
