WHAT ARE CHEMICAL PEELS?
Chemical peels are a skin exfoliating treatment that can be customized to each patient’s specific skin concerns and skin needs. This customization and the strength of a chemical peel are dependent on the chemicals used in the peel solution.
- Light chemical peels or superficial peels target the outer layer of the skin and can improve surface imperfections like fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, sun-damaged skin, and dry skin.
- Medium chemical peels remove the surface layer of the skin down to the upper part of the dermis. Medium peels treat wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven skin tone.
- Deep chemical peels remove skin cells down into the dermal layer of the skin and are used to treat rough skin texture, deep scars and wrinkles, and precancerous skin growths

Testimonial
“I’ve been a patient of Dana’s for several years now, even following her when her practice locations changed. Having seen a few different aesthetics providers, I can attest to both her professional skill and keen aesthetic eye. Dana takes a great deal of time to understand my goals and designs specific treatment plans that will help me meet those goals.”

Chemical peels may not be safe for patients with sensitive skin or those with an active acne breakout, skin infection, cold sores, or history of keloid scarring. Women who are pregnant may also have to wait to receive treatment. If you are not a candidate for chemical peels, we can recommend a facial, injectables, or other cosmetic treatments.

Recovery From Chemical Peels
After a chemical peel, recovery time will vary depending on the strength of the chemical solution. A light chemical peel will only cause slight redness with little to no peeling. A medium chemical peel will result in light peeling and scabbing that will gradually flake off in about 7-14 days. After a deep chemical peel, severe skin redness, moderate swelling, and scabbing are common. It can take a few days to see the effects of a chemical peel, but the treated skin will eventually peel.
Make sure to keep the skin moisturized and avoid picking at the scabs. They will naturally flake off after two weeks. Since new skin cells will be resurfaced as the surface layer of dead and damaged skin flakes off, patients should also avoid direct sun exposure and exfoliating skincare products. These factors could cause scarring or damage to the surrounding skin.
Once the newly exfoliated skin heals, the skin rejuvenating effects of a chemical peel can last for several weeks. While deep peels typically do not need to be repeated, a light or medium peel can be repeated as needed.
