What Are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are skin-resurfacing treatments that use a specialized chemical solution to exfoliate and remove damaged outer layers of the skin. Doing so reveals smoother, healthier, and more youthful skin beneath. Depending on your goals, chemical peels can range from light to deep, offering varying levels of exfoliation and rejuvenation.

Adults in good overall health

Chemical Peel Recovery

The recovery process after a chemical peel depends on the depth of the treatment:

Light Peels

Light peels are generally associated with minimal downtime. You may experience mild redness and flaking for 1–2 days, similar to a light sunburn.

Medium Peels

Expect mild swelling, redness, and peeling over 3–5 days as the outer skin layers shed, revealing fresher, healthier skin.

Deep Peels

These require more recovery time, typically 7–10 days. You may experience redness, crusting, and peeling, with dramatic skin rejuvenation visible once the healing process is complete.

Post-Treatment Care

Here are our top tips to ensure optimal healing and results:

Avoid picking or peeling the skin to prevent irritation or scarring
Keep your skin moisturized as instructed
Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to protect your skin from UV damage and maintain your results
Use a gentle cleanser and avoid harsh skincare products during the recovery period

Results You Can Expect

By addressing imperfections and promoting natural regeneration, chemical peels reveal smoother, brighter, and more youthful skin. Depending on the type of peel, you can expect:

Light Peels: A subtle skin tone and texture improvement, ideal for maintaining a radiant complexion.
Medium Peels: Noticeable reduction in fine lines, pigmentation, and acne scars, with a refreshed, vibrant appearance.
Deep Peels: Significant skin rejuvenation, including a dramatic reduction in deep wrinkles, scars, and sun damage.

With proper skincare and maintenance treatments, the benefits of your light or medium chemical peel can last up to six months, helping you enjoy healthy, glowing skin long-term. Deeper peels provide longer-lasting results.

FAQ

Chemical Peels FAQ

How do I know which type of chemical peel is right for me?

The right chemical peel for you depends on your skin concerns, type, and goals. During your consultation, Dr. Michael or Dr. Bradley Eisemann will assess your skin and discuss your desired outcomes to recommend the most appropriate peel, whether it's light, medium, or deep.

How often can I have a chemical peel?

The frequency of chemical peels depends on the depth of the treatment and your skin’s response. Light peels can generally be done every 4-6 weeks, while medium and deep peels are typically performed less frequently, such as every 3-6 months, to allow your skin time to heal and rejuvenate.

What should I avoid before getting a chemical peel?

Before your chemical peel, avoid sun exposure for at least two weeks, as this can increase the risk of pigmentation changes. You should also refrain from using products containing retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, or acids (like salicylic or glycolic acid) for several days before the treatment.

Can I wear makeup after a chemical peel?

After a light chemical peel, you may be able to wear makeup within a day or two, as your skin will heal quickly. After a medium or deep peel, avoiding makeup for a few days is best to allow the skin to heal correctly. Always follow our post-treatment instructions for the best outcome.

What can I do to maintain my results after a chemical peel?

To maintain your results, it is important to follow a consistent skincare regimen, including moisturizing, using broad-spectrum sunscreen daily, and avoiding direct sun exposure. Your doctor may also recommend occasional maintenance peels to keep your skin looking fresh.

Are there any risks or side effects associated with chemical peels?

Chemical peels are generally safe when performed by experienced professionals, but some risks include temporary redness, irritation, or pigmentation changes. In rare cases, deeper peels may lead to scarring or infection. Following pre- and post-care instructions minimizes these risks and helps ensure the best outcome.
