It’s inevitable. Time and the environment cause our skin to age. While we can’t turn back time, we can help you get younger, healthier looking skin. Our chemical peels take advantage of and expose the natural, biological rejuvenation process already working in your body.
Chemical peels are a fantastic treatment to improve the appearance of the skin on your face, neck and hands. By receiving a peel, you can cleanse and exfoliate, moisturize and sooth certain areas of the body, renew your skin, and reveal a more radiant you. At MD Brothers, our board-certified doctors bring years of specialized training in aesthetic medicine to deliver safe, effective chemical peel treatments tailored to your unique skin needs.
How do they work?
Light, medium and deep peels remove layers of aged skin, along with acne scars, wrinkles, discoloration and sun damage. Once the older, damaged layers of skin are gently removed, all that’s left for the world to see is younger, softer-looking skin. Our peels are quick, yet thorough, so you’ll notice reduced lines around your mouth and under your eyes, lessened wrinkles and faded age spots. You’ll look and feel more like your younger self.
There are a wide range of chemical peels available to treat different types of skin, skin conditions and goals. During a consultation, we will evaluate and decide which is best suited for your skin.
Benefits of Chemical Peels
Chemical peels offer numerous advantages for those seeking skin rejuvenation. They effectively reduce fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the eyes and mouth. Peels diminish age spots, sun damage, and uneven pigmentation for a more balanced complexion. They also improve skin texture by smoothing rough patches and minimizing acne scars. Additionally, chemical peels stimulate collagen production, promoting firmer, more youthful-looking skin over time.
Ideal Candidates
Chemical peels are suitable for most skin types and can address a variety of concerns. You may be an ideal candidate if you’re looking to improve skin tone and texture, reduce signs of aging, or diminish acne scarring. The best candidates have realistic expectations and are committed to proper post-treatment care. During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin type, concerns, and medical history to determine if a chemical peel is right for you and which depth of peel will achieve your desired results.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your chemical peel treatment begins with thorough cleansing of the treatment area. The chemical solution is then carefully applied to your skin and left on for a specific duration depending on the peel depth. You may experience a tingling or slight burning sensation, which is normal. The entire procedure typically takes 30 to 60 minutes. Our team ensures your comfort throughout the process and monitors your skin’s response to achieve optimal results safely.
Recovery and Results
Recovery time varies based on the depth of your peel. Light peels may cause mild redness and flaking for a few days, while deeper peels can require one to two weeks of healing. Your skin will gradually peel away, revealing fresh, rejuvenated skin beneath. It’s essential to avoid sun exposure and follow all aftercare instructions. Results continue to improve over the following weeks as collagen regeneration occurs, with many patients enjoying smoother, more youthful-looking skin for months.
