Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are one of the most trusted cosmetic treatments for improving skin tone, texture, and radiance. At Heritage Dermatology, our chemical peels are carefully selected and applied by skilled professionals who understand both the art and science of skin health. To ensure the best results, we provide personalized pre- and post-treatment care instructions that help balance your skin before the peel and protect it afterward.

A chemical peel uses a specialized solution to gently exfoliate the outer layers of skin. This controlled process stimulates new cell growth and collagen production, revealing smoother, clearer, and more evenly toned skin. Chemical peels can address a wide range of concerns, including:

• Acne and acne scars

• Enlarged pores

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Sun damage and age spots

• Uneven texture and discoloration

• Redness and rosacea

• Precancerous lesions such as actinic keratoses

Superficial Peels
These gentle peels remove the outermost layer of skin (epidermis) using ingredients such as glycolic, lactic, or fruit acids. They refresh the complexion, smooth minor imperfections, and may help control acne. Recovery is quick, with minimal irritation and no downtime, making them a popular “lunchtime” option. Sunscreen use is essential after treatment.

Medium Peels
Medium-depth peels penetrate into the dermis, or middle layer of skin, using agents like glycolic acid, trichloroacetic acid (TCA), or Jessner’s solution. They improve age spots, fine lines, photoaging, freckles, and mild acne scars, and can also treat precancerous growths such as actinic keratoses. Healing typically takes 7 to 14 days, with temporary redness or peeling.

At Heritage Dermatology, we recognize that every patient’s skin is unique. We customize chemical peel treatments to your skin type, lifestyle, and goals, ensuring both safety and effectiveness. Whether you are looking for a subtle refresh or a more transformative treatment, our team will guide you through the process and provide the follow-up care you need to achieve radiant results.
