How Do Chemical Peels Work?
Exfoliation is a common treatment, with techniques that include vaporizing areas of skin or shaving it away with a blade. Chemical peels work differently, in that they act directly on the unwanted cells and cause them to ultimately flake away on their own.
First, we apply the appropriate solution to your face, then leave it on for a specified amount of time to allow it to penetrate as deeply as necessary for the desired result. Your skin may feel tender, appear red, and be sensitive in the hours and days following your treatment.
The old, outermost layers of skin will come off soon after your chemical peel, which provides several benefits: The newly exposed skin will be smoother and clearer, with a more radiant appearance. Peels also prompt healing actions in the skin, such as renewed production of collagen and improved circulation. This provides ongoing benefits.
What Can Chemical Peels Address?
Chemical peels are ideal for treating numerous surface irregularities, such as texture differences, spots and other areas of darker pigment, photodamage, scarring, and more.
Peels can also help to keep pores open, which is ideal for reducing acne breakouts caused by follicles filling with bacteria and dead cells.
From a health perspective, chemical peels are also a good option for addressing actinic keratoses, which are lesions that develop due to cumulative sun exposure. While not skin cancer, these so-called AKs are considered to be “pre-cancerous.” Removing them with a chemical peel can make a long-term difference for good skin health.

Which Other Treatments Work Well for Improving the Skin?
Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation technique offered by our team experienced in using a specialized tool to clear the skin of dead cells, debris, and fine hairs.
Laser skin resurfacing uses powerful light energy to rapidly heat water in the skin and vaporize specifically targeted areas surrounded by intact healthy tissue. The resulting healing response improves the tone and texture of the entire surface.
Finally, microneedling creates channels in the skin that leave the surface in place, but provide a dual benefit: openings to allow for better absorption of topical products, and a “jump start” for the collagen-making process in specialized cells.
Discuss with us if chemical peels or another of these options would be right for you.
