A chemical peel is a skin treatment that uses a specially formulated solution to exfoliate the outer layers of the skin, revealing a smoother, fresher layer underneath. Chemical peels help improve skin tone, texture, and clarity.
Chemical exfoliation can be a highly effective aesthetic treatment—so long as it is performed by a highly qualified aesthetician who understands the science of skin and maintains the ultimate level of patient safety. The aestheticians at DeLozier Plastic Surgery are well versed in chemical peels, and are highly trained in customizing the formula, concentration, and depth of your chemical peel to meet those unique conditions.
- Superficial peels penetrate only the top layer of the skin. These involve the least amount of downtime and typically treat mild to moderate skin concerns, like fine lines and dry skin. We often perform superficial/mild chemical peels in Nashville to help our patients maintain healthy cellular turnover.
- Medium peels can address skin concerns that affect the deeper layers of the epidermis + the papillary dermis (such as moderate lines and wrinkles), in addition to treating the same concerns as a superficial peel. Because of the additional time needed to peel, patients require slightly longer downtime.
- Deep peels address skin concerns that occur in the dermis, reaching years of deeper-set damage, including moderate to severe wrinkles, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation.
In addition to these customizations, we can also combine a chemical peel with another treatment, such as dermaplaning, medical facial, or microneedling.
During your consultation for a chemical peel in Nashville, we will listen to all of your concerns to design a custom treatment plan for you—one that respects your timeline, budget, and unique goals.
