Chemical Peels
What is a Chemical Peel:
A chemical peel is a means to through exfoliation of your skin. By topically applying a carefully chosen solution, a chemical peel creates a controlled and consistent shedding of some layers of your skin (the number of layers depends on what kind of peel is chosen). The body replaces these layers with new, healthier skin cells, which improves appearance of your skin.
Some of the many things chemical peels can help are:
- Age spots
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Blotchy and uneven pigmentation
- Sun-damaged skin
- Blackheads
- Acne/Oily Skin
- Acne scars
Following your consultation, the appropriate peel will be recommended for you.
A series of 6 peels, 1 every 2-4 weeks is recommended for maximum results.
Expect light visible peeling for 3-7 days.
Based on your desired results, one, or some combination, of the following treatments will be suggested:

Frequently asked questions about Chemical Peels
As with all facial treatments, there are myths behind results and side effects of peels. Our professional and licensed staff is here to debunk these myths for you.
Will I will have to avoid all sun exposure after my peel?
In the initial healing phase, you will need to limit your sun exposure for one week. Once you have regener-ated your new layer of skin, you can then re-expose the skin to sun. Keep in mind, that many times it was UNPROTECTED sun exposure that caused your skin to show the premature signs of aging. If you want to prolong the effects of the peel, then simply apply a sunblock with a minimum SPF-30 protection.
Will I have permanent color changes like white spots or dark spots?
Although color changes after chemical peels are rare, some pigmentation changes can occur. The most common condition to occur is to have the darker spots, which generally may be seen in darker skinned patients. This overactivity of melanin is temporary and should it occur, a lightening cream can be applied over the darker area to correct the discoloration.
Will my skin will look "raw" from the peel.
Our light peels simply makes your skin look a little pink, with resolution within 24 hours. This peel is again intended to remove the outer most layer of the skin. This will “buff” the skin. You could go out to dinner the same day. In fact, most people have this done as a lunchtime procedure.
The medium and peels will have your skin looking pink for 5-7 and 10-14 days respectively. You should be able to return to work the following day.
