What are Chemical Peels, and How Do They Work?
Chemical peels are a type of non-surgical skin resurfacing treatment. They consist of an acidic solution that creates controlled injuries to the skin. This solution dissolves the bonds between skin cells, allowing them to be easily removed from the skin’s surface. Your body induces a healing response in the skin that can boost collagen production and encourage new skin growth.

With many options available for chemical peels, each patient needs a consultation before their treatment can begin. You’ll meet with Dr. Indeyeva to discuss your goals and create a treatment plan. She’ll carefully examine your skin and make recommendations for chemical peels, skincare, and non-surgical and surgical facial cosmetic treatments.

What Happens During a Chemical Peel?
Most chemical peels are an outpatient treatment performed in one of our treatment rooms with no need for anesthesia. However, some of the deepest peels are performed with careful monitoring and sedation in an operating room.
Before your peel, Dr. Indeyeva will cleanse your skin and apply the peel. For mild to moderate peels, pain relief is not usually needed. As the peel gets to work, you may experience a tingling or burning sensation. We use techniques to reduce any uncomfortable sensations, including skin cooling and tapotement.
After a predetermined amount of time (which varies depending on the peel), a neutralizing solution is applied to the skin. The face is cooled and cleaned to remove any remnants of the peel. Serums, moisturizers, and sunscreen are then applied to protect and nourish the skin as it heals.
What Can I Expect During my Chemical Peel Recovery?
The specifics of your recovery depend on the depth of the peel you receive. For light to medium peels, expect some redness and skin irritation for a few days— similar to how your skin may look and feel after a sunburn. You may also experience some peeling and flaking of the skin. Deeper chemical peels require more time off and a more involved aftercare process. Dr. Indeyeva can give you a better idea of what to expect and provide post-treatment care instructions so you can help your skin heal quickly and effectively.
