What are chemical peels? How do they work, and why are they a game-changer for skin health and appearance? Contact us today to schedule.
If you’ve ever looked in the mirror and wished your skin looked smoother, brighter, or even-toned, you’re not alone. From acne scars and sun damage to fine lines and dull texture, many skin concerns can be hard to treat with just creams or serums.
Enter: chemical peels — one of the most effective, dermatologist-recommended treatments for dramatically clearer skin.

🌟 What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a dermatological treatment that uses a safe chemical solution to exfoliate the top layers of skin. Depending on the type of peel, the solution penetrates to varying depths to target specific concerns.
As the damaged outer layer is shed, new, regenerated skin emerges — smoother, brighter, and more youthful.
🔬 How Chemical Peels Work: The Science of Shedding & Renewal
When applied to the skin, the peel triggers a controlled exfoliation process. This stimulates:
- Cell turnover, prompting fresh skin production
- Collagen synthesis, improving firmness and texture
- Removal of dead skin cells, which can clog pores and dull your complexion
Depending on your skin goals, we may recommend one of the following types of peels:
1. Light Peels (Superficial)
- Targets: dullness, mild acne, uneven texture
- Recovery: none to minimal
- Common acids: Glycolic acid, lactic acid
2. Medium Peels
- Targets: deeper acne scars, sun damage, fine lines
- Recovery: several days of peeling
- Common acids: Trichloroacetic acid (TCA), Jessner’s solution
💥 What Chemical Peels Can Treat
Whether battling acne or wanting to age gracefully, chemical peels are remarkably versatile. They can help improve:
- Acne & acne scars
- Hyperpigmentation & sun spots
- Fine lines & wrinkles
- Rough or dull skin texture
- Clogged or enlarged pores
- Uneven skin tone
