What Are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels use medical-grade solutions to gently exfoliate and remove the outer layers of skin, promoting cell turnover and revealing fresher, smoother, and more even-toned skin. Each peel is customized to your skin type, goals, and comfort level.
At Esse Dermatology, all chemical peels are performed or overseen by a board-certified dermatologist to ensure safe application and consistent, beautiful results. We offer the VI Peel as well as a variety of other customized peel formulations to address a wide range of skin concerns.
Cosmetic Uses of Chemical Peels
Chemical peels can help treat:
- Uneven skin tone and pigmentation
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne and post-acne pigmentation or scarring
- Sun damage
- Rough or dull skin texture
What to Expect During Treatment
Consultation: Your dermatologist will recommend the ideal type and strength of peel for your needs, which may include a VI Peel or a fully customized blend.
Procedure: The skin is cleansed, and the chemical solution is applied for a set time before being neutralized or removed.
Results: Brighter, smoother skin appears within days as the outer layer naturally sheds.
Downtime: Varies by peel type — light peels may cause minimal flaking, while deeper peels can require 5–7 days of visible peeling and recovery.
How Long Do Results Last?
With proper skincare and sun protection, results can last for months. Maintenance peels can extend benefits and address new concerns.
