Chemical Peels

Revitalize Your Skin: Discover the Benefits of Chemical Peels at Associates in Dermatology

A chemical peel is a gentle, noninvasive treatment designed to enhance your skin’s appearance. By applying a specialized solution, the outer layers of skin naturally shed, uncovering fresh, smoother, and more evenly toned skin beneath. At Associates in Dermatology, with locations in Westlake, Middleburg Heights, and Lorain, Ohio, our skilled professionals provide chemical peels that can be a quick, refreshing lunchtime treatment or a transformative step towards radiant skin.

What are the different types of chemical peels available?

Superficial peels. These peels use gentle, naturally derived acids to exfoliate and refresh the skin. Perfect for managing mild discoloration and improving rough texture, they can be done weekly or monthly. With no downtime required, you can even apply makeup immediately after.
Glycolic acid peel. A glycolic acid peel targets and removes damaged skin cells from the middle layers of the skin. The concentration is tailored to your skin type and desired results, so that recovery time may vary. Medium peels are suitable for the face, neck, chest, and hands.
Trichloroacetic peel. A trichloroacetic acid peel significantly improves the skin’s appearance but requires several weeks of recovery time. Deep peels are performed only on the face and are done just once.

How do I select the best chemical peel treatment for me?

Light to medium face peels are designed to reduce active acne breakouts, while medium to deep peels help smooth acne scars and diminish redness. Chemical peels can also treat actinic keratosis, a precancerous skin condition.

What can I expect during my chemical peel treatment?

The skin is first cleansed, and the peel is carefully applied. You might experience tingling, warmth, or stinging, but we take extra steps to keep you comfortable. The clinician closely monitors your skin and removes the peel at the perfect time. Afterwards, serums or moisturizers are applied to soothe and hydrate. Your skin may appear pink or slightly swollen, depending on the type of peel. For medium peels, brown spots may darken before flaking off as your skin peels over the following week. No matter the peel, daily sun protection is essential for optimal results.
