Chemical peels at Dermatology Associates Skin & Cancer Center gently exfoliate the skin to improve tone, texture, and clarity. Our providers deliver expert, compassionate care using proven treatments to help treat acne, fine lines, sun damage, and pigmentation.
Restore Your Skin’s Natural Radiance
Chemical peels are professional skin-resurfacing treatments that use safe, medical-grade solutions to remove damaged outer layers of the skin. By promoting controlled exfoliation, they stimulate new cell growth, revealing smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin. Our aesthetic providers customize each peel to your unique skin type and concerns, whether you’re targeting acne, fine lines, or discoloration. This approach ensures a balanced renewal process that refreshes your complexion while maintaining beautiful, natural-looking results.
What Do Chemical Peels Treat?
Chemical peels target multiple layers of the skin to restore balance, clarity, and smoothness. They are formulated to gently exfoliate dull or damaged skin, stimulate new cell turnover, and reveal a fresher complexion. Chemical peels can safely improve:
- Uneven pigmentation, sunspots, or melasma
- Fine lines, wrinkles, and early signs of aging
- Acne, acne scars, and clogged pores
- Rough texture or dull, tired-looking skin
- Enlarged pores and surface irregularities
- Freckles or photoaging from UV exposure
- Mild scarring or skin discoloration from past breakouts
- Uneven tone caused by environmental damage
Your Chemical Peel Session
During your chemical peel, your provider will begin by cleansing your skin and protecting sensitive areas. A customized chemical solution is then applied to exfoliate the surface and stimulate cell renewal. You may feel mild tingling as the peel works. After a set time, the solution is neutralized, and soothing products are applied to calm your skin. The entire process typically takes 30 to 45 minutes.
What Should I Expect After My Peel?
After your peel, your skin may appear slightly pink or feel tight, similar to a mild sunburn. Light flaking or peeling begins within a few days, revealing smoother, brighter skin underneath. It’s essential to avoid picking or exfoliating during this time. You’ll be advised to apply a gentle moisturizer, avoid direct sun exposure, and use sunscreen daily to protect your skin.
Is There Any Downtime After a Peel?
Most light-to-medium peels require little to no downtime, allowing you to resume your normal routine right away. However, moderate and deeper peels may result in several days of visible peeling or mild redness and require a few days or even weeks of downtime. Your provider will guide you on how to care for your skin post-treatment to optimize healing and results.
How Many Chemical Peel Sessions Will I Need?
For optimal results, most patients benefit from a series of treatments spaced several weeks apart. Light peels may be performed monthly for ongoing skin maintenance, while medium or deep peels are usually done less frequently. Your dermatologist or aesthetic provider will recommend a personalized plan based on your goals, skin type, and treatment response.
