Treatment Overview
Chemical peels are one of the most effective and versatile skin rejuvenation treatments available today. By using carefully formulated acid solutions, we remove damaged outer layers of skin to reveal fresh, healthy, glowing skin underneath.
Whether you're battling acne scars, sun damage, fine lines, pigmentation, or simply want to refresh your complexion, chemical peels offer transformative results with minimal downtime. Our dermatologists customize each peel to your specific skin type and concerns for optimal, safe results.

How Chemical Peels Work
1. Comprehensive Consultation
Our dermatologists assess your skin type, concerns, and goals. We determine the ideal peel type, strength, and treatment plan specifically customized for your needs and desired outcomes.
2. Skin Preparation
Your face is thoroughly cleansed and degreased. For deeper peels, we may prescribe pre-treatment products to prepare your skin and optimize results.
3. Peel Application
The chemical solution is carefully applied to your skin in controlled layers. You may feel tingling, warmth, or mild stinging depending on the peel depth. The peel remains on your skin for a precise amount of time.
4. Neutralization & Aftercare
The peel is neutralized and removed. We apply soothing serums, moisturizers, and sunscreen. You receive detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.
5. Peeling Process
Over the next few days to two weeks (depending on peel depth), your skin will naturally shed damaged layers. Fresh, healthy, glowing skin emerges underneath.

⚠️ Important Reminder
Proper aftercare is crucial for achieving optimal results and avoiding complications. Your skin will be more sensitive to sun exposure for weeks after treatment. Diligent sun protection is essential to prevent hyperpigmentation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do chemical peels hurt?
Superficial peels cause mild tingling. Medium peels may cause moderate stinging that subsides quickly. Deep peels can be more uncomfortable but are typically done with sedation or anesthesia. Most patients find the sensation very tolerable.
How long does it take to see results?
Superficial peels show immediate brightening. For deeper concerns like acne scars and significant pigmentation, visible improvements appear after 2-3 sessions as collagen remodeling occurs. Full results develop over several weeks.
Are chemical peels safe for dark skin?
Yes, when performed by qualified professionals! We carefully select appropriate peel types and concentrations for darker skin tones to minimize risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Proper pre and post-treatment care is essential.
How many sessions will I need?
This depends on your concerns and peel type. Superficial peels: 4-6 sessions every 2-4 weeks. Medium peels: 2-4 sessions every 1-3 months. Deep peels: Typically one session with dramatic results.
Can I combine peels with other treatments?
Absolutely! Chemical peels work synergistically with microneedling, laser treatments, and PRP therapy. We often create comprehensive treatment plans combining multiple modalities for enhanced, long-lasting results.
When can I wear makeup after a peel?
For superficial peels: 24 hours. Medium peels: 2-3 days. Deep peels: 7-10 days. We'll provide specific guidance based on your treatment and healing progress.
