Chemical Peels
Do you wish that you could simply peel the signs of aging from your skin?
A chemical peel can diminish many signs of aging on the face as well as the hands, neck, and chest.
Chemical peels are also useful to treat skin conditions such as pre-cancers (actinic keratoses) and dark pigmentation (melasma). You can expect to see fewer lines and wrinkles, more even skin color, brighter complexion and smoother skin.

Chemical Peels Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a chemical peel and how does it work? A chemical peel is a non-invasive procedure that involves applying a specially formulated solution to the skin, which exfoliates the outer layers. This process stimulates skin cell turnover and collagen production, resulting in a refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.
- Who is a suitable candidate for a chemical peel? Chemical peels are suitable for individuals seeking skin rejuvenation, improvement in fine lines and wrinkles, and treatment of pigmentation issues. Our expert dermatologists assess your skin type and concerns to recommend the most appropriate peel for your needs.
- What skin concerns can chemical peels address? Our chemical peel treatments effectively target a range of concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage, acne scars, and uneven skin tone. They are also beneficial for managing skin conditions like melasma and actinic keratoses.
- Is there downtime associated with a chemical peel? Depending on the type and depth of the peel, some downtime might be expected. Our dermatology team provides personalized guidance on aftercare and recovery to ensure optimal results and minimize any inconvenience.
- How many sessions of chemical peel treatment are typically needed? The number of sessions required can vary based on individual skin goals and the type of peel chosen. Our dermatologists will work closely with you to develop a treatment plan that aligns with your desired outcome, ensuring you achieve the best results
What to Expect After a Chemical Peel
Following a chemical peel, it’s normal to experience mild redness, tightness, or flaking as the skin begins to shed damaged outer layers. Recovery time varies depending on the depth of your peel. Superficial peels typically heal within a few days, while deeper peels may take up to two weeks. During this period, proper care helps ensure smoother, even-toned results.
Essential Aftercare Tips
- Avoid sun exposure while the skin is peeling and for several days afterward.
- Use a gentle cleanser and avoid exfoliating or scrubbing.
- Moisturize frequently with a non-irritating, fragrance-free lotion to soothe dryness.
- Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, even indoors, to protect sensitive new skin from UV damage.
- Avoid makeup for the first 24 to 48 hours or until your dermatologist advises it is safe.
Your provider may also recommend specific post-peel skincare products that calm irritation and encourage faster recovery.
How Results Develop Over Time
The first signs of improvement often appear as flaking subsides and fresh skin becomes visible. Over the following weeks, patients notice brighter tone, refined texture, and diminished fine lines or discoloration. Deeper peels may continue improving collagen production and elasticity for several months.
Maintaining Your Results
To prolong the benefits of your chemical peel, maintain a consistent skincare routine that includes gentle cleansing, daily sunscreen use, and periodic follow-up treatments. Avoid smoking and excessive sun exposure, as both accelerate skin aging and can reverse improvements. Some patients combine chemical peels with laser treatments or medical-grade skincare for enhanced rejuvenation. Your dermatologist can recommend a customized plan based on your skin goals.
Ideal Candidates and Safety
Chemical peels are suitable for a wide range of skin types and concerns, including uneven tone, acne scarring, and sun damage. Your dermatologist will evaluate your skin’s condition and sensitivity before recommending the most appropriate peel. When performed by a board-certified dermatologist, chemical peels are safe, controlled, and produce natural-looking results.
