If you are looking to treat acne, hyperpigmentation, scarring, or simply improve your overall appearance and skin health, chemical peels are a tried and true treatment that delivers results. Today’s sophisticated peel formulations yield phenomenal results at the hands of experienced dermatologists like Dr. Kyle Coleman and Dr. Lisa Donofrio at Être Cosmetic Dermatology and Laser Center. 

What Does a Chemical Peel Do?Chemical peels are an applied specialized solution that gently removes the outermost layer of dead or damaged skin cells. This controlled exfoliation stimulates new cell growth, creating a smoother, even toned, and brighter skin underneath. Depending on your goals, chemical peels can target fine lines, treat acne and reduce acne scarring, treat sun damage, and eliminate general dullness. 

Are There Different Types of Chemical Peels? 

We offer numerous different peels and Combination Peels (TCA and Jessner’s) to offer a range between light, “no downtime” refresh peels and a deeper, corrective treatment. Superficial peels will brighten the complexion with minimal peeling. Medium depth peels will utilize a combination to go deeper to improve pigmentation and texture. Our board-certified dermatologists, Dr. Coleman and Dr. Donofrio, will create your personalized care plan during your initial consultation to best address your skin and goals. 

What Can I Expect During and After Treatment?

A peel typically takes about thirty minutes, allowing patients the convenience of fitting their appointment into their work day. You may feel a tingling or warming sensation as the solution works. Afterward, your skin may feel slightly flushed and will begin to flake over the next few days. This flaking is similar to a light sunburn. Deeper peels may involve more noticeable peeling, but this is a normal and temporary result of the chemical peel process. 

How Soon Will I See Results?

You’ll start to notice a fresh, healthy glow within a week, with continued improvement as new skin regenerates. Many patients schedule a series of light peels spaced a few weeks apart for optimal results, while deeper peels are typically performed a few times a year.
