You have tried the serums, the masks, the at-home peel pads that promise medical-grade results in a small bottle. Maybe they brightened your skin for a day or two. Maybe they did nothing. The texture you actually want, smoother surface, more even tone, the kind of skin renewal that lasts longer than a weekend, does not come from a product you bought online. It comes from a peel formulated and applied by someone who reads your skin first.
Dr. Kristin Dean, MD, is a physician with more than fifteen years of medical experience, board-certified by the American Board of Family Medicine. Dr. Dean’s concierge medical aesthetics practice delivers the full clinical experience to your home, your office, or any private space of your choosing. Every chemical peel begins with a skin assessment, then a peel formulated for your skin type, your concerns, and your downtime tolerance. Light superficial peels for a refresh. Medium-depth peels for texture or pigment correction. Targeted formulations for acne-prone or sun-damaged skin.
Glomi is based in Encinitas, CA, and brings concierge care to your home across the surrounding San Diego County communities, including La Jolla, Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach, and Carmel Valley. No clinic. No waiting room. No public mirror to face during the peeling phase you would rather no one see.

- Refine the appearance of enlarged pores and improve overall skin clarity
- Stimulate collagen production for firmer, more resilient skin over time

Why Choose Glomi Wellness Lab for Your Chemical Peel
Board-Certified Physician Selects Every Peel
Dr. Kristin Dean, MD, personally evaluates your skin and selects the peel formulation for every chemical peel at Glomi Wellness Lab. Not a technician working from a fixed menu. A board-certified physician with more than fifteen years of medical experience choosing the peel that fits your skin, your concern, and your downtime tolerance.
Skin-Type-Matched Peel Selection, Not a Standard Menu
Chemical peels are not interchangeable. Glycolic and lactic acid peels brighten and smooth surface texture. Salicylic acid peels penetrate oil-prone pores for acne-prone skin. TCA peels go deeper for stronger correction of pigment and texture. The right peel for your skin depends on factors no online quiz can answer; Dr. Dean reads your skin before any solution touches it.
Conservative Peel-Depth Approach to Protect Your Skin
Glomi favors building results across a planned series of appropriately-dosed peels rather than pushing a single deep peel that risks long recovery and unpredictable pigment outcomes. Skin integrity is preserved across the treatment plan. The goal is renewed skin, not damaged skin.
Press-Credentialed in San Diego
Dr. Dean has been featured on The Localist SD on KUSI, profiled in SD Voyager Magazine, and quoted as an expert source by Locally Well San Diego. The Glo Protocol, her signature barrier-support and hydration approach, complements chemical peel treatment and supports the skin during the renewal phase.
Why Choose Concierge Chemical Peel Treatment
Recovery in the Comfort of Your Own Home
Chemical peels involve a visible recovery window. Light peels resolve in a day or two. Medium-depth peels involve three to seven days of peeling and tightness. The recovery is much more comfortable in your own space, with your own bathroom mirror, your own lighting, and no requirement to drive home looking like you just had something done.
Privacy During the Peeling Phase
The peeling phase is the part of chemical peel treatment most patients want to keep private. Glomi delivers the peel at your home and provides aftercare instructions on the spot. No clinic check-in for follow-up where strangers can see your skin mid-recovery.
Treatment Scheduled Around Your Skin, Not a Clinic Calendar
The right time for a peel depends on your sun-exposure plans, your social calendar, and what you can tolerate in terms of visible recovery. Glomi schedules around your week rather than forcing your week around a clinic appointment slot.
Aftercare Guidance Where You Actually Live
Aftercare is where many chemical peel outcomes are won or lost. Dr. Dean reviews your skincare products on-site, recommends what to pause during recovery, and provides any medical-grade products needed for the peeling phase. Aftercare advice is grounded in what is actually in your bathroom, not a generic handout.
What a Medical-Grade Chemical Peel Actually Does
How Chemical Peels Work
Chemical peels apply a controlled medical-grade solution to the skin that signals the outermost damaged skin layer to exfoliate, revealing fresher skin beneath. The same controlled injury triggers your skin to produce new collagen and reorganize pigment in the deeper layers. Different acid families target different concerns. Alpha hydroxy acids like glycolic and lactic acid brighten surface tone and smooth texture. Beta hydroxy acid, salicylic acid, penetrates oil-prone pores and benefits acne-prone skin. Trichloroacetic acid, known as TCA, goes deeper for stronger correction of pigment irregularity and fine lines. Glomi selects acid family, concentration, and application protocol based on the skin assessment performed during your consultation.
What Distinguishes Medical-Grade From At-Home Peels
Medical-grade peels offered by Glomi are formulated at concentrations available only through licensed medical professionals. At-home peels sold over the counter are limited by regulation to lower concentrations that produce gradual surface improvement at best. Medical-grade peels can address pigment irregularities, fine lines, and texture concerns that at-home products cannot reach. The difference is not the strength of any single peel but the ability to select the right peel for your specific skin and apply it under physician oversight.
When a Chemical Peel Is a Good Fit
You may be a good candidate for a medical-grade chemical peel with Glomi if any of the following describes you:
- You see uneven skin texture, fine lines, or rough patches that topical skincare alone has not been able to smooth
- You have dark spots, melasma, or post-acne marks that have lingered despite topical fading products
- Your skin tone has become uneven over the past few years from sun exposure or hormonal change
- You want meaningful skin renewal without injections, lasers, or device-based treatment
- You can plan around a few days of mild peeling and visible recovery, ideally during a quieter week
- You prefer to receive medical aesthetic care in your home or private office rather than at a public clinic
Chemical peels are not appropriate for every skin condition or every skin type. Active herpes outbreaks, recent isotretinoin use, certain inflammatory skin conditions, and pregnancy are absolute or relative contraindications. Some skin tones require peel formulations specifically selected to reduce pigment risk. Dr. Dean reviews your medical hi
