Chemical peels are a time-tested method for improving skin tone, texture, and firmness. By encouraging cell turnover and collagen production, peels help refresh the surface of the skin and improve the appearance of acne scars, wrinkles, and discoloration. This treatment can be tailored to suit a variety of skin types and concerns, making it a versatile option for patients seeking visible skin renewal without surgery.
Chemical peels are available at MacInnis Dermatology in Leesburg, The Villages, and Mt. Dora.
What Are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels involve the application of a specially formulated solution that exfoliates the outer layers of skin. This process reveals smoother, brighter skin underneath and helps stimulate the production of new collagen and elastin for firmer, more resilient skin over time.
Chemical peels may be used to treat:
- Acne scars and textural irregularities
- Hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Sun damage and dullness
Peels come in various strengths and formulations. During your consultation, your aesthetician will determine the most appropriate type of peel based on your skin condition and treatment goals.
Who Should Consider a Chemical Peel
This treatment is suitable for many skin types and can be adjusted in strength to address both superficial and deeper concerns. It's especially useful for individuals looking to improve skin clarity, smoothness, or elasticity.
You may be a candidate if you:
- Have acne scarring or post-inflammatory discoloration
- Struggle with persistent hyperpigmentation or melasma
- Want to improve skin firmness and texture non-surgically
- Are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or experiencing active infection in the treatment area
A skin evaluation will help determine whether a light, medium, or deeper peel is appropriate for your goals.
What to Expect
Your provider will cleanse your skin and apply a chemical solution that may cause mild tingling or warmth. The strength and duration of the peel will vary based on your treatment plan. After the peel is neutralized and removed, post-treatment care will be reviewed.
Mild to moderate peeling, flaking, or redness may occur for several days after treatment. Deeper peels may require a longer recovery period. Your provider will give you aftercare instructions to help protect your skin and support healthy healing.
