What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a professional skin resurfacing treatment that uses carefully selected exfoliating acids to remove damaged outer layers of skin and encourage healthy skin cell turnover.
As your skin renews itself, you'll notice improvements in:
Skin texture
Tone
Brightness
Fine lines
Acne
Sun damage
Hyperpigmentation
Overall skin health
Chemical peels can be customized for a variety of skin concerns and are available in different strengths depending on your treatment goals.
How Do Chemical Peels Work?
Chemical peels work by applying a professional solution to the skin that gently exfoliates damaged surface cells. This controlled exfoliation stimulates the skin's natural renewal process, revealing fresher, smoother skin underneath.
Depending on the type of peel selected, your treatment may:
Improve cell turnover
Encourage collagen production
Reduce congestion
Smooth rough texture
Brighten dull skin
Improve overall skin tone
Our providers carefully evaluate your skin before recommending the most appropriate peel for your needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do chemical peels hurt?
You may experience a mild tingling or warming sensation during treatment. Most patients tolerate chemical peels very well.
