A NOTE FROM ELIZABETH
In My Own Words
A peel should solve the right problem at a depth your skin can safely tolerate. I would rather build results gradually than create unnecessary inflammation or pigment risk. — Elizabeth Hagen, ARNP

CANDIDACY & SAFETY
Is a Chemical Peel Right for You?
Candidacy depends on condition, skin type, medications, recent procedures, infection risk, pregnancy status, and ability to follow aftercare. Some pigment conditions require cautious preparation or another treatment.
Improper peel selection or aftercare can cause prolonged irritation, scarring, or pigment change.
Resurfacing Selected for Your Skin
Chemical peels use carefully selected acids to loosen and remove damaged surface cells so fresher skin can emerge. Mild-to-medium peels may help acne, post-inflammatory marks, uneven tone, rough texture, sun damage, and fine lines when the formula and depth are appropriate.
Peel Options and Planning
Options may include alpha-hydroxy acids, beta-hydroxy acids, Jessner-type blends, or trichloroacetic acid formulations. Choice is based on skin type, diagnosis, prior treatment, medications, downtime, and goals. Deeper is not automatically better.
What to Expect
Sensation, redness, dryness, flaking, and recovery vary. Some concerns improve through a series, while others are maintained with periodic treatment and medical-grade skincare. Results depend on consistency, sun protection, and the underlying condition.
Chemical Peel Aftercare
Use recommended gentle products, moisturize, avoid picking or peeling skin, and protect the area from sun. Pause active ingredients as directed. Contact the clinic for severe pain, blistering, infection signs, or unexpected pigment change.

TREATMENT OPTIONS
Mild-to-Medium Peel Options

Frequently Asked Questions
Clear, practical answers about candidacy, preparation, treatment, recovery, and aftercare.
What Affects the Cost of a Chemical Peel?
Cost varies with the peel formula and depth, treatment area, number of treatments recommended, and any related aftercare. Because the safest plan is individualized, current pricing is provided after an evaluation and treatment recommendation.
How Is the Right Chemical Peel Selected?
Peel selection is individualized according to the concern being treated, skin tone and type, health history, previous treatments, expected downtime, and risk of pigment change. Superficial and deeper peels have different benefits and recovery needs. A trained licensed provider should select the formula and depth after evaluating your skin.
How Do Chemical Peels Compare With Other Resurfacing Treatments?
Chemical peels use a controlled chemical exfoliation process. Other resurfacing options may use microneedling, light, laser, plasma, or other device-based approaches. The best option depends on the concern being treated, skin tone and type, medical history, desired downtime, and personal goals. An evaluation helps determine the safest and most appropriate approach.
What Is Recovery Like After a Chemical Peel?
Recovery depends on the depth and formula of the peel. Temporary redness, tightness, dryness, and flaking can occur. Follow the aftercare plan provided, use recommended moisturizer and sun protection, and do not pick or peel the skin. Contact the practice if symptoms are worsening or unexpected.
