Unveil New Skin: The Transformative Power of Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are one of the most effective ways to rejuvenate the skin and address a variety of common concerns, like hyperpigmentation, fine lines, acne scars, and dullness. For patients hoping to achieve a smoother, clearer, and more radiant complexion without the downsides of lasers and other more invasive treatments, chemical peels can provide remarkable results with minimal downtime. Whether you're interested in a light refresh or a more intensive transformation, chemical peels can be tailored to help meet your specific skin care needs and goals.

At The DeRosa Center in Boston, MA, our team of skilled aesthetic specialists, under the direction of double board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon Dr. Jaimie DeRosa, offers a wide range of customizable chemical peels to help you achieve a glowing complexion and boosted self-confidence. From light peels to more advanced treatments, we will help determine which is right for you based on your skin type, concerns, and goals.

What is a chemical peel?

A chemical peel is a skin resurfacing treatment that uses a specialized solution to exfoliate the outer layer of damaged skin, revealing the fresher, healthier skin underneath. Different types of chemical peels are available, ranging from light to deep, allowing us to treat various skin issues, including:

• Uneven skin tone
• Age spots and sun damage
• Acne scars
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Enlarged pores
• Overall dullness

During your initial consultation for a Boston, MA chemical peel, our aesthetic skin care team will carefully evaluate your skin to determine which chemical peel is appropriate for your needs.

Which kind of chemical peel should I get?

We offer several types of chemical peels at The DeRosa Center to suit unique concerns and skin type. Some of our most popular chemical peel options include:

• VI® Peel: The VI line of chemical peels comes in a range of strengths, from light to heavy, and can be customized to fit the specific needs of your skin. Ask us which VI Peel is right for you.
• RevePeel®: A medical-grade peel that penetrates deep into the skin, RevePeel is ideal for treating hyperpigmentation, melasma, acne scars, and more. You'll need about a week of recovery following this powerful peel.
• Enlighten® Peel: Designed to reduce pigmentation, improve luminosity, and even out skin tone, the Enlighten Peel is safe and effective for nearly all skin types and tones.
• TCA Cross: This highly targeted treatment, using trichloroacetic acid (TCA), is particularly effective for treating acne scars. Instead of being applied to the entire face, the TCA Cross technique is precisely applied to individual scars.

What are the reasons to get a chemical peel?

Chemical peels offer several benefits for patients looking to refresh and revitalize their skin. Some of the most exciting benefits and potential results of chemical peels include:

• Brighter, clearer skin
• Reduction in fine lines
• Smoother skin texture
• Diminished acne scars and dark spots
• Minimal downtime (depending on the peel)

Additionally, because chemical peels encourage cell turnover and stimulate collagen production, skin will continue to improve in the weeks following your treatment.

How soon does your skin look better after a chemical peel?

The timeline for chemical peel results depends on the strength of the peel and your individual skin concerns. With lighter peels, you may notice an improvement in your skin within just a few days, while deeper peels may take longer for results to appear. Generally, most patients experience continued skin improvement for up to a few weeks or months after their peel. Based on the type and strength of your chemical peel, your specific skin concerns, and other factors, our team can help you better understand what results may be possible for you, how soon you can expect to enjoy them, and how to help keep your skin looking its best between peels.
