Improve Dull, Rough, Uneven Skin at Our Long Island or Westchester, New York, Practices

Chemical peels safely and effectively remove the damaged outer layer of skin on the face, chest, neck, or hands, revealing fresh, new skin underneath. Most patients require a series of treatments to achieve superior results. During treatment, a chemical solution is meticulously applied in thin layers to the skin's surface. These layers remain for up to 10 minutes before being neutralized and rinsed away. Cool compresses or fans can help ease any discomfort experienced during the procedure, which typically lasts 30 minutes.

VI Peel Journey -

The VI Peel is a medium-strength chemical peel that reduces sun damage and signs of aging. This treatment is also great for acne prone skin as it removes the top layer to reveal smoother, brighter skin underneath.

Superficial to Medium-Depth Peels: Your Options

Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Alizadeh offers peels in varying strengths to address different levels of damage and aging: a superficial chemical peel gently exfoliates the outer layer of the epidermis, correcting uneven skin tone and texture. It can also improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Recovery time is minimal, and though some patients experience minor redness and irritation, these symptoms diminish within a day or two.

A medium-depth chemical peel can create dramatic improvement because it targets deeper skin cells and addresses more significant signs of aging and environmental skin damage. Recovery from this type of treatment requires 7 to 14 days. A medium-depth chemical peel can help skin appear smoother, more even, and noticeably rejuvenated.

Dr. Alizadeh’s team perform the 10% all the way to 30% TCA peels, as well as the Blue peel, alpha hydroxy acid peels (AHA), beta hydroxy acid peels (BHA), Jessner’s peels, and retinoic acid peels. Depending upon your needs, your peel may be performed with the comfort of Pro-nox nitrous sedation and rapid recovery system.

Patients who request a chemical peel at Cosmoplastic Surgery will first receive a thorough skin analysis with the 3 Dimensional Vectra and VISIA® Complexion Analysis System to assess the level of damage and determine which treatment would deliver optimal aesthetic results. In some cases, Dr. Alizadeh may recommend alternative or complementary procedures such as laser skin resurfacing or dermabrasion to best meet your specific skincare needs.

Chemical Peels FAQs

How should I prepare my skin before a chemical peel?

Patients are typically advised to avoid sun exposure, retinoids, and certain exfoliating products for several days prior to treatment to reduce sensitivity and improve results.

Can chemical peels be customized for different skin concerns?

When properly selected and performed by an experienced provider, certain peels are safe for darker skin tones, though careful customization is essential to minimize risk of pigmentation changes.

How often can I get a chemical peel?

Treatment frequency depends on the depth of the peel, with lighter peels performed more regularly and deeper peels requiring longer intervals between sessions.

Will my skin be more sensitive after a chemical peel?

Yes, the skin is typically more sensitive following treatment, which is why sun protection and gentle skincare are especially important during the healing period.

Can I combine chemical peels with other treatments?

Chemical peels are often incorporated into broader treatment plans alongside procedures like laser resurfacing or medical-grade skincare for more comprehensive results.
