Chemical peels work by gently exfoliating the uppermost layer of dead skin cells, revealing a fresh and new layer of skin underneath that is smoother, softer, and more youthful-looking. The peels work by applying a chemical solution to the skin, which penetrates and breaks down the top layers of the skin.

There are three different types of chemical peels: superficial, medium, and deep, each with varying degrees of effectiveness and recovery time. Superficial peels are the gentlest and penetrate only the outermost layer of skin, while medium peels penetrate deeper and can address issues such as fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots. Deep peels are the most powerful and address deep set wrinkles, scars, and hyperpigmentation.

Chemical peels offer a range of benefits for your skin, including:

• Refining skin texture
• Stimulating collagen production
• Reducing fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots
• Addressing hyperpigmentation and acne scars
• Lightening brown spots and evening out skin tone
• Tightening and firming the skin

Chemical peels can be customized to meet your unique skin concerns, depending on your skin type, tone, and level of sensitivity. At Cornerstone Aesthetics, our skilled dermatologists and aestheticians will work with you to determine the best chemical peel treatment for your skin type and goals.

During your chemical peel treatment, you will be seated comfortably in one of our treatment rooms. Our skilled aesthetician will cleanse and prep your skin for the peel, and then apply the chemical solution to your skin, which will be left on for a set amount of time. After the peel solution has achieved its desired effect, it will be neutralized and removed, and a soothing cream or lotion will be applied to your skin.
