Reveal a Healthy and Radiant Complexion

Chemical peels can enhance the appearance and feel of your skin. During your procedure, we will apply a specialized chemical solution to the treatment area. This solution will cause the damaged outer layer of your skin to peel away, revealing smoother and less wrinkled skin underneath. A chemical peel with our in-house specialist can treat:

Wrinkles, creases, and fine lines
Telltale signs of sun damage
Scars (including acne scars)
Uneven skin tone, redness, and hyperpigmentation

A More Radiant Complexion

Chemical peels are a proven skin resurfacing treatment that removes damaged outer layers of skin to reveal a smoother, more radiant complexion beneath. Performed by our in-house skincare specialist, peels can address a range of concerns including uneven skin tone, fine lines, sun damage, and texture irregularities. Chemical peels can also be performed in conjunction with other treatments and procedures for a more comprehensive and personalized approach to skin rejuvenation.

Your Chemical Peel Experience: What to Expect

We will perform your chemical peel in Malvern and Wayne, PA, starting with cleaning your face and applying a topical anesthetic. If you’re having a deeper peel, we may also use a regional anesthetic.

During your chemical peel, Dr. Wingate will apply the chemical solution to your skin for a brief period of time to create a controlled injury and penetrate the desired skin depth. You may feel a hot sensation followed by a stinging sensation. To complete the procedure, Dr. Wingate will remove the chemical solution and prepare you for the recovery.

Chemical Peels Frequently Asked Questions

When will I see the results of my chemical peel?

Your results will be apparent once your skin heals, and that timeframe depends on the depth of peel you had performed. For instant surface hydration and maintenance between peel treatments, many patients opt for a HydraFacial.

What is the recovery like for a deep peel?

Deep peels involve a substantial recovery period. During this time, the treatment area will peel and crust for several days to weeks. You may need painkillers and your skin may remain red for up to three months. However, the results will be dramatic and can last up to ten years. If you are looking for dramatic texture renewal with a different recovery timeline, advanced laser skin resurfacing may also be evaluated.

How should I care for my skin after a chemical peel?

After treatment, patients are typically advised to keep the skin moisturized, avoid direct sun exposure, and use gentle, medical-grade skincare products. Following the recommended aftercare helps protect and nourish the new skin as it heals.

Will my skin peel after every chemical peel?

Peeling varies depending on the type of peel used. Lighter peels may cause mild flaking, while deeper peels can result in more noticeable peeling as the damaged outer layers shed. For patients seeking gentle resurfacing without significant visible peeling, treatments like Moxi or light collagen-stimulating microneedling are excellent alternatives.

Can chemical peels be performed on areas other than the face?

Yes. Chemical peels are sometimes performed on the neck, chest, or hands to address discoloration and skin texture concerns in those areas. For delicate off-face zones like the hands and under-eyes, therapies like PRF EZ Gel or tailored biostimulators are also frequently used to restore lost volume alongside skin tone improvements.

How often can I receive a chemical peel?

The frequency depends on the strength of the peel and your skin’s response to treatment. Light peels can be repeated every few weeks, while deeper peels are performed far less often. To maintain optimal results between sessions, alternating with daily medical-grade skincare or routine HydraFacial appointments is highly recommended.

Are chemical peels safe for all skin types?

Many chemical peel formulations are designed to work safely across a range of skin types. During your consultation, your provider will recommend a treatment or an alternative like Moxi that is specifically safe and appropriate for your skin tone and individual concerns.

Can a chemical peel be combined with other facial treatments?

Yes, chemical peels are often incorporated into broader aesthetic plans. Combining peels with wrinkle-relaxing Botox, volume-restoring dermal fillers, or collagen-boosting microneedling allows us to address multiple skin concerns comprehensively.

Will a chemical peel make my skin more sensitive to sunlight?

Newly treated skin is significantly more sensitive to ultraviolet exposure. Protecting your investment with high-quality sun protection from our medical-grade skincare lineup is essential while your skin recovers.
