What is it?

Chemical peels are a time-tested and proven treatment that have been used for years to smooth and brighten the skin, addressing a range of complexion concerns such as fine lines, uneven tone, brown spots and acne.

A chemical peel is a gentle yet highly effective way to rejuvenate your skin and enhance its appearance. While most commonly used on the face, chemical peels can also improve the texture and tone of the skin on your neck and hands. This versatile treatment addresses a wide range of concerns, including:

• Acne and acne scars
• Age spots and sun damage
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Freckles and irregular pigmentation

What to expect

One of the key benefits of the chemical peels offered at Huntington Dermatology is the ability to tailor the peel to your skin's specific needs. Whether you're looking for a gentle refresh or a more intensive exfoliation, your experienced provider will tailor the peel to suit your specific needs. The treatment is quick, typically taking just 20 minutes, and involves minimal downtime. Within a few days, you’ll begin to see noticeable improvements in your skin’s texture and appearance, revealing a smoother, more radiant complexion.

Our office offers medical-grade chemical peels by SkinMedica and ZO. Your provider will recommend the peel best suited to achieve your individual skin care goals. 

Rejuvenize Peel

The Rejuvenize Peel is a stronger peel and is ideal for those who have already had other peels and are now tolerant to medical-grade peels and are seeing less shedding of dead skin when other chemical peels are performed. After this peel, you may experience mild redness and increased skin peeling starting two days post-treatment. This typically lasts for about 3–4 days as your skin renews.

Vitalize Peel 

The Vitalize Peel is our most popular treatment, designed to exfoliate dead skin and reduce acne, acne scarring, brown spots and sun damage. Two days after the peel, your skin will begin to shed, with peeling lasting about 2–3 days. For those who prefer to peel over the weekend, we recommend scheduling your treatment on a Thursday or Friday.

ZO 3 Step Chemical Peel

The ZO Peel is an innovative, in-office treatment peel followed by an at-home treatment to combat the signs of aging + skin discoloration. It utilizes a blend of exfoliants, retinol and multi-action agents to help improve skin health and treat many signs of aging, while providing antioxidant protection as well as visible anti-irritant benefits.
