Chemical Peels
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels at Nusbaum Medical Centers are advanced skin rejuvenation treatments that remove damaged outer layers of the skin to improve texture, tone, and clarity. By exfoliating the skin at a controlled depth, chemical peels effectively address fine lines, acne scars, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin texture. This professional procedure promotes cell turnover, stimulates collagen production, and reveals fresh, radiant skin.

What Are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels involve applying a chemical solution to the skin, which exfoliates the outermost layers. The procedure promotes skin regeneration, addressing a variety of skin concerns. At Nusbaum Medical Centers, our providers offer customized chemical peels tailored to each patient’s skin type, concerns, and goals. Different peel strengths—superficial, medium, and deep—allow targeted treatment ranging from mild exfoliation to intensive resurfacing.
Chemical peels can be used on the face, neck, chest, hands, and other areas affected by sun damage, acne scars, or pigmentation issues. Combining chemical peels with complementary treatments like HydraFacial or PRP Facial can enhance results for a comprehensive skin rejuvenation plan.
Who Is a Candidate for Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are suitable for adults seeking to improve skin appearance and address common skin concerns. Ideal candidates include:
- Individuals with acne scars, fine lines, or wrinkles
- Patients with hyperpigmentation, sun spots, or uneven skin tone
- People with dull, rough, or textured skin
- Those seeking non-surgical skin rejuvenation
- Individuals in good overall health without active skin infections or certain dermatologic conditions
During your consultation, Nusbaum Medical Centers’ providers assess your skin and discuss treatment options to select the appropriate peel type and strength. Customized treatment ensures safe and effective results while minimizing side effects.
How Chemical Peels Work
The chemical peel procedure involves several key steps:
- Skin Preparation: The skin is cleansed to remove oils, dirt, and makeup.
- Chemical Solution Application: A solution containing acids such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, or trichloroacetic acid is applied to exfoliate the skin’s outer layers.
- Controlled Exfoliation: The solution penetrates the skin to a depth determined by the peel type, loosening damaged cells and stimulating regeneration.
- Neutralization and Aftercare: The chemical is neutralized if needed, and protective serums or moisturizers are applied to soothe and hydrate the skin.
The treated skin gradually peels over several days, revealing fresh, smoother skin underneath. Patients experience improved texture, reduced fine lines, minimized scarring, and a more even tone.
Benefits of Chemical Peels
Chemical peels offer a wide range of benefits, including:
- Reduction in fine lines and wrinkles
- Improvement of acne scars and post-inflammatory pigmentation
- Evening of skin tone and reduction of hyperpigmentation
- Refinement of skin texture and smoothness
- Stimulation of collagen production for firmer, more youthful skin
- Enhancement of skin clarity, radiance, and overall health
- Ability to complement other aesthetic treatments such as HydraFacial, PRP Facial, and Dermal Fillers
Regular chemical peel treatments can significantly improve skin appearance over time, promoting a healthier, more radiant complexion while preventing premature aging.
What to Expect During and After Treatment
Chemical peel treatments vary in duration depending on peel depth, typically lasting 30–60 minutes. Patients may experience mild tingling or warmth during application. After the procedure:
- Mild redness, flaking, or peeling occurs as the outer layer sheds
- Skin may feel tight or sensitive for a few days
- Hydrating creams, sun protection, and gentle skincare are recommended
Superficial peels have minimal downtime, while medium and deep peels may require a few days to a week of healing. Following post-care instructions ensures optimal results and reduces the risk of complications.
Safety and Side Effects
Chemical peels are generally safe when performed by trained medical professionals. Common side effects include:
- Redness, mild swelling, or irritation
- Temporary peeling or flaking of the skin
- Increased sun sensitivity
Serious complications are rare but can include scarring, infection, or changes in pigmentation. At Nusbaum Medical Centers, we perform a thorough assessment, customize the treatment, and provide detailed aftercare instructions to minimize risk and maximize results.
