Uncover Fresh, Youthful Radiance
Chemical peels are professional skin-resurfacing treatments that gently exfoliate and renew your complexion. At DeRosa Center, your provider applies a customized blend of medical-grade acids, such as glycolic, salicylic, lactic, or trichloroacetic acid, to dissolve dead skin cells and stimulate cellular turnover. As the outer layer sheds, fresh, healthy skin emerges with improved texture, tone, and clarity. The result is a smoother, brighter, and more youthful appearance.
Do I Need Chemical Peels?
If you’re noticing uneven texture, dullness, or early signs of aging, a chemical peel may be the perfect way to refresh your skin. At DeRosa Center, your provider can personalize your treatment to reveal a smoother, more radiant complexion.
You may be a good candidate if:
- You want to minimize fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage
- You struggle with acne scars or lingering breakouts
- You notice rough patches or dry, flaky skin
- You want to improve uneven tone or pigmentation
- You want to smooth texture on your face, neck, or chest
What Chemical Peels Are Available?
VI® Peel
The VI Peel is a versatile, medical-grade peel that addresses a range of concerns, including fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage. Available in several formulations and strengths, it offers gentle yet effective exfoliation suitable for nearly all skin types. You’ll achieve smoother, brighter skin with minimal downtime and healthy radiance.
RevePeel®
RevePeel is a deep, medical-grade chemical peel formulated to treat advanced signs of skin damage, including melasma, dark spots, acne scars, and fine lines. It penetrates deeply to lift discoloration and reveal a smoother, more even complexion. Because of its strength, the skin typically needs a week to fully recover, but the luminous results are well worth it.
Enlighten® Peel
The Enlighten® Peel targets hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and acne-related discoloration while improving luminosity and refining skin tone. Its unique formulation is safe and effective for nearly all skin types and tones, making it ideal for anyone seeking a brighter, more even complexion. You’ll notice a beautiful, refreshed glow as your skin becomes clearer and more balanced.
TCA Cross
TCA Cross (Trichloroacetic Acid) is a highly specialized peel used to treat individual acne scars rather than the entire face. The acid solution is precisely applied to each icepick scar to boost collagen remodeling within the depression. Over time, the scars become smoother and less noticeable, resulting in a more refined, even skin surface.
Perfect DermaPeel™
The Perfect DermaPeel is a medium-depth peel that combines powerful ingredients like TCA, retinoic acid, salicylic acid, kojic acid, phenol, glutathione, and vitamin C. Together, these agents improve tone, texture, and clarity while brightening the complexion and reducing pigmentation. This peel is ideal for those seeking dramatic results with minimal downtime.
What Are the Benefits of Chemical Peels?
- Exfoliate dull, damaged surface cells to reveal smoother skin
- Minimize fine lines, wrinkles, and early signs of aging
- Improve uneven tone, texture, and sun damage
- Brighten and revitalize a tired or lackluster complexion
- Stimulate collagen production for firmer, more youthful skin
- Deliver visible results with minimal downtime

How Are Chemical Peels Performed?
During your treatment, you’ll relax comfortably while your provider cleanses your skin to remove oil and impurities. A customized chemical solution is then applied evenly to your face, neck, or chest and left to work for a precise amount of time, depending on your chosen peel. You may feel mild tingling as the acids exfoliate and renew your skin. Once neutralized, your provider applies soothing products and sunscreen to protect your fresh, radiant complexion.

Chemical Peels FAQs:
How Do I Know Which Chemical Peel Is Right for Me?
Your provider at DeRosa Center will evaluate your skin type, texture, and goals during a personal consultation. Together, you’ll determine which peel strength (light, medium, or deep) best suits your needs. If it’s your first time, your provider may recommend a lighter peel to introduce your skin gently and assess how it responds before advancing to stronger options.
What Can I Expect After My Treatment?
After your peel, your skin may appear pink or feel slightly tight. Light peels often cause mild flaking for a few days, while deeper peels can lead to visible peeling that lasts up to a week. Your provider will give you clear aftercare instructions, including the use of gentle cleansers, moisturizers, and daily sunscreen to protect your newly revealed skin.
Is There Any Downtime?
Downtime varies depending on the peel’s strength. A light peel allows you to return to your normal routine the same day, while medium and deep peels may require a few days of social downtime as your skin exfoliates and heals. Regardless of the depth, it’s important to avoid sun exposure and refrain from manually peeling or picking at your skin.
Can I Wear Makeup After a Chemical Peel?
It’s best to avoid makeup for at least 24 to 48 hours, or until your provider says it’s safe. Applying cosmetics too soon can irritate freshly treated skin and interfere with the healing process. Once your skin calms and flaking subsides, you can resume makeup application, though you may find you need less, thanks to your smoother, more radiant complexion.
When Will I See Results?
You’ll notice an immediate improvement in skin texture and glow once the peeling is complete. With regular treatments, your complexion becomes clearer, brighter, and more evenly toned.
