Chemical peels are chemical formulations that exfoliate and scrub away the dead and damaged skin cells on the uppermost layers of your skin (epidermis). As you go through life, your epidermis withstands considerable damage through injuries, acne breakouts, sun damage, environmental pollutants, and more. Chemical peels slough away the uppermost layers of the skin to reveal smooth, soft, and even-textured skin underneath. They also stimulate collagen production to reverse the signs of aging, making your skin look firm and taut.

Your Chemical Peels Experience
Dr. Michael Chiodo’s office performs highly personalized chemical peels based on your specific skin type and conditions. Our cosmetic providers carefully examine your facial skin, discuss your goals and concerns, review your medical history, and perform thorough facial assessments to identify your skin conditions. After a thorough evaluation, we select the ideal chemical peels for your skin type and goals. Different chemical peels contain different ingredients, so it’s important to find the right peel.
You will be asked to appear for your treatment with a clear face — no makeup or cosmetic products. During your chemical peel session, the cosmetic provider will cleanse your facial skin, unclog your pores, and apply the chosen chemical peels. The solution will be layered on your skin in the treatment areas. The chemical peels will sit on your face for a few minutes, following which they’ll be scrubbed off. You might feel a tingling sensation but no pain.

Recovery After Chemical Peels
You will experience some post-treatment redness, swelling, crusting, tenderness, and stinging sensations on your skin after the treatment. Your skin might start peeling after 3 to 4 days and continue for a few days. The deeper the peel, the harsher the side effects. You must apply sufficient moisturizers during this period and apply strong sunscreen to minimize the risks of redness and hyperpigmentation. There’s no downtime — you may resume your daily activities immediately after the treatment.
