Chemical Peels

At Aesthetic Center of Richmond Dermatology, we offer a variety of chemical peel treatments that rejuvenate and enhance the appearance of your skin. You will remove your skin’s top layer with a chemical peel, revealing smoother, brighter, and healthier skin underneath. Whether dealing with fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, or sun damage, our professional aestheticians customize your peel according to your skin care needs.

What Is a Chemical Peel?

In a chemical peel, chemicals are applied to the skin to remove dead cells. The solution is left on the skin for a set period, causing the outer layer to peel away and revealing smoother, more even skin tone. Several skin concerns can be addressed with this treatment, from acne to sun damage, and it’s a popular option for improving the skin’s appearance.

There are different levels of peels, ranging from light peels that only affect the surface, to deeper peels that penetrate more layers for dramatic results.

How It Works

Chemical peels exfoliate and remove dead skin cells, promoting skin cell turnover. There are different levels of peels, ranging from light peels that only affect the surface to deeper peels that penetrate more layers for dramatic results. Chemical peels stimulate collagen production, helping improve the skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance.

Before & After Care Instructions

Pre-Peel Preparation

To prepare for your chemical peel treatment, we recommend:

  • Make sure you use sunscreen at least a week before treatment.
  • Discontinue using retinoids or products that can cause skin irritation several days before treatment.
  • Arriving with clean, makeup-free skin.

Post-Peel Care & Healing Timeline

After your chemical peel, it’s normal for your skin to be red and slightly sensitive. As the peel progresses, your skin will peel and flake off, revealing fresh skin underneath. Our team will provide aftercare instructions, which may include:

  • Avoiding sun exposure and using sunscreen daily.
  • Keeping the skin moisturized.
  • Refraining from picking at the peeling skin to prevent scarring.

     

Healing time depends on the depth of the peel. The process typically lasts a few days for lighter peels, while deeper peels may require up to two weeks for full recovery.
