Uneven texture, discoloration, and early signs of aging can all affect how your skin looks and feels. A chemical peel helps remove damaged surface layers to reveal skin that looks clearer, healthier, and more vibrant.
At The Brandow Clinic Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Kirk Brandow offers chemical peels for patients in Main Line Philadelphia and Somers Point, NJ, with options to address everything from mild texture concerns to more advanced signs of aging.
What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a skin resurfacing treatment that uses a specialized solution to gently remove the outer layers of damaged skin. This process encourages new, healthy skin cells to surface while boosting collagen production.
Chemical peels can improve:
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Fine lines and mild wrinkles
- Sun damage and age spots
- Acne and acne scars
- Enlarged pores
Peels come in different strengths, from light peels with minimal downtime to deeper peels for more dramatic results. During your consultation, we’ll recommend the best approach for your skin.
Types of Peels Offered
VI Peel – (Medium-Depth Peel With Noticeable Results)
The VI Peel combines a unique mix of ingredients to improve tone, texture, and clarity. It can target fine lines, acne, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage, all while being gentle enough for most skin types. Peeling typically begins a couple of days after treatment, revealing smoother, healthier-looking skin.
Mandelic Peel – (Light Peel With Minimal Recovery)
This gentle alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) peel is often a good choice for sensitive skin or redness-prone complexions. It works to brighten and smooth while minimizing irritation, making it a versatile option for many patients.
Glycolic Peel – (Light Peel With Minimal Recovery)
A glycolic acid peel helps exfoliate the outermost layer of skin for a refreshed appearance. The strength is selected based on your skin concerns, then applied and neutralized after several minutes. Skin is rehydrated and protected with a customized mask and SPF 50 sunscreen.
Radiance Blue Peel – (Superficial Peel With No Downtime)
This peel blends salicylic acid with other exfoliating ingredients to brighten and smooth the skin’s surface. Known for its “Brighten, Lighten, and Tighten” effect, it’s ideal for a quick lunchtime refresh and can be done in a series for enhanced results.
How the Treatment Works
- Your skin is cleansed and prepped.
- The chemical solution is applied evenly to the treatment area.
- The peel is left on for a specific amount of time, then neutralized or removed.
Mild peels may cause temporary redness or flaking for a few days, while deeper peels require a longer recovery period.
