What Are Chemical Peels? Chemical peels are cosmetic treatments that involve the application of a chemical solution to the skin to exfoliate and remove damaged outer layers. This process promotes skin regeneration, revealing smoother, healthier, and more youthful skin. Chemical peels are versatile and can be tailored to address various skin concerns, including acne scars, sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and hyperpigmentation. The depth and type of chemical peel used depend on the specific skin issues being treated and the desired outcome. Overall, chemical peels effectively rejuvenate the skin, improve its texture and appearance, and enhance overall skin health.
Chemical peels are formulated just as uniquely as you are. At our practice, we understand the importance of selecting the right peel formulation to achieve optimal results while minimizing downtime. Chemical peels are classified based on their penetration depth into the skin layers, ranging from superficial to deep peels. While superficial peels address surface issues, deep peels require significant downtime. During your consultation with Dr. Panossian, he will assess your skin condition and recommend the most suitable peel formulation, a VI Peel or TCA peel, to help you achieve your desired aesthetic outcomes.
VI Peel offers six medium-depth peel formulations for true correction with minimal downtime. These peels penetrate the Dermal-Epidermal Junction to the papillary dermis, effectively addressing hyperpigmentation, spots, and other skin concerns. VI Peel formulations are meticulously crafted to penetrate deeply into the skin, targeting melanin overproduction and lifting and exfoliating unhealthy skin cells. VI Peels promote smoother texture and a more radiant complexion by stimulating the production of new, healthier cells. Additionally, all VI Derm products, including VI Peel, are cruelty-free, for high-quality skincare that's ethical too. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Panossian to discover the VI Peel difference and embark on your journey to healthier, more radiant skin.
TCA (Trichloroacetic Acid) peels are another effective option for addressing moderate to severe skin imperfections, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and uneven pigmentation. TCA peels penetrate deeper into the skin layers than superficial peels, providing more significant exfoliation and stimulating collagen production for improved skin texture and firmness. This type of peel can be customized in concentration and application technique to suit individual skin types and treatment goals. With TCA peels, patients can experience noticeable skin tone and texture improvements, revealing a smoother, more youthful complexion.

What to Expect The Chemical Peels Process The chemical peel process typically begins with thoroughly cleansing the skin to remove surface oils, dirt, and debris. Once the skin is clean and prepped, the chemical peel solution is applied to the treatment area using a brush or cotton applicator. The type and strength of the peel solution used will depend on the patient's skin type, concerns, and desired outcomes. The solution is left on the skin for a specific time, determined by the peel's depth and the patient's skin tolerance. During this time, the peel solution works to exfoliate the outermost layers of the skin, removing dead skin cells, unclogging pores, and stimulating collagen production.
This exfoliation process helps reveal fresh, rejuvenated skin underneath, resulting in a smoother, more even complexion. After the appropriate amount of time has passed, the peel solution is neutralized or removed from the skin, and a soothing moisturizer or post-peel treatment may be applied to help calm and hydrate the skin. The entire procedure typically takes about 30 minutes to an hour to complete, depending on the type of peel used and the size of the treatment area. Dr. Panossian will provide detailed instructions on preparing for the procedure and what to expect during and after treatment to ensure a safe and successful outcome.
