Chemical Peels

At American Skin Institute, our chemical peels offer a range of formulations to target various skin depths and concerns. While commonly used on the face, they are safe and effective for the neck, chest, back, arms, legs, and more. During your consultation, our expert assessment of color, depth, location, and texture guides us in selecting the ideal peel for your specific needs.

Our formulations include Glycolic Acid, Jessners, Phenol, Salicylic Acid, and Trichloroacetic Acid (TCA).

You may experience a mild burning sensation during application, which is managed with cool air from a fan. Afterward, we apply an acid neutralizer and rinse the area witTheme File Editorh cool water.

Each peel session is tailored to your skin’s specific needs, ensuring optimal results and minimal downtime.

Jessner’s Peel can be used with all skin types to also treat mild or even severe acne, sun damage, mild to moderate wrinkles, and discoloration. This technique is advantageous when compared to others because it is also acceptable to use on the hands, neck, and upper chest.

A licensed dermatologist is required because this procedure more deeply penetrates the outer layers of skin than more minimal chemical peels.

Dermatologist Applied

This is a peel of medium depth that requires a dermatologist to perform, and addresses more substantial skin damage than lighter peels can address. To begin the procedure, dermatologists use a glycolic cleanser to thoroughly remove the skin oils and the layer to allow a better penetration of the chemicals that will be applied. The Jessner’s solution is then spread over the face. A slight burning sensation is often felt by the patient, but this effect can be reduced by a fan blowing cool air in the area. Finally, your dermatologist will apply an acid neutralizer, and the solution will be washed off with cool water. Flaking and peeling will occur for approximately seven days. The skin then turns pink or brown as healthy, younger-looking, more vibrant skin is revealed.
