What is it?

Chemical peels are a highly effective cosmetic treatment that exfoliate and renew the skin by applying a chemical solution. This solution removes damaged outer layers of skin, revealing smoother, brighter and more youthful-looking skin beneath. Chemical peels can improve the appearance of a wide variety of skin concerns, including acne scars, sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and uneven skin texture.

At Bexley Dermatology, we specialize in light and medium-depth chemical peels suitable for all skin types, including darker skin tones. Our dermatologists have extensive experience using the right combination of acids and techniques to ensure safe and effective results for every skin type.

What to expect

Chemical peels work by using a specially formulated chemical solution that exfoliates the outer layer of the skin. Depending on the depth of the peel and the skin concern being treated, the peel may involve:

• Light peels: Ideal for patients looking to address mild skin concerns like fine lines, dullness or uneven skin tone. Light peels often use glycolic or salicylic acid to gently exfoliate the skin with minimal downtime.
• Medium peels: For more advanced concerns like acne scars, sun damage or deeper wrinkles, medium-depth peels, such as those with trichloroacetic acid (TCA), penetrate further into the skin to provide more dramatic results. These peels may involve a few days of mild peeling or redness.

Chemical peels can be customized to your skin type and specific needs. Our experienced team at Bexley Dermatology will work with you and your skin type to determine the best treatment plan for you, ensuring the results you want with minimal risk.
