Chemical Peels at Village Family Medicine PC
A chemical peel treats skin concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne, sun damage, and uneven skin tone by exfoliating the outer layer of the skin. The chemical solution applied during the treatment triggers a process of shedding dead skin cells, leading to the regeneration of new skin. There are three types of peels—light, medium, and deep—each targeting different levels of skin imperfections. A light peel addresses minor skin issues, while deeper peels are used to treat more severe concerns. The treatment helps stimulate collagen production, improving skin elasticity and creating a smoother, younger appearance.
Revitalize Your Skin with Chemical Peels
A chemical peel is a non-invasive procedure where a chemical solution is applied to the skin, promoting the shedding of the outermost layers. The treatment works by exfoliating the skin, encouraging new cell growth and enhancing the overall appearance of the skin. There are various types of chemical peels, ranging from light peels that treat mild issues like dry skin or pigmentation to deep peels that address severe wrinkles and extensive sun damage. The procedure stimulates collagen production, leading to smoother, more even skin. Chemical peels are effective in treating a variety of skin concerns and can be customized to each patient’s needs for optimal results.

The right type of chemical peel depends on your specific skin concerns and skin type. During a consultation, your provider will evaluate your skin and recommend a peel that will best address your goals, whether you're dealing with mild pigmentation or more pronounced wrinkles.
Recovery time varies based on the depth of the peel. Light peels typically require little to no downtime, while medium and deep peels may involve some redness, peeling, and sensitivity. It's important to follow post-treatment care instructions, which may include avoiding sun exposure and moisturizing the skin to promote healing.
Yes, chemical peels can be tailored to suit all skin types. However, it’s important to consult with a skilled professional who can assess your skin and recommend the appropriate peel. Those with darker skin tones may require a more cautious approach to avoid pigmentation changes.
The number of treatments required depends on your individual skin concerns. For mild issues, one treatment may suffice, while deeper concerns might require a series of treatments for optimal results. Your provider will discuss a treatment plan that best fits your skin goals.
