Your skin tells a story—sun exposure, stress, aging, and hormones all leave their mark. But when dullness, discoloration, or uneven texture start to take center stage, a chemical peel can gently refresh your complexion and bring back your natural radiance.
At Healy Plastic Surgery, our expert aesthetic providers offer medical-grade chemical peels that are personalized to your skin type, goals, and schedule. Whether you're looking for a light glow before an event or deeper correction over time, we’ll guide you to the right peel—and the right plan—for your skin.
A chemical peel is a controlled exfoliation treatment using a customized chemical solution to remove the outermost layer of skin—encouraging cell turnover and revealing smoother, more even skin beneath. Peels range from gentle surface refreshers to deeper treatments that address more significant signs of aging or damage.
Each treatment is selected based on your skin’s unique needs, desired level of exfoliation, and downtime preferences. At Healy Aesthetics, we offer a curated range of SkinCeuticals and medical-grade peels that treat:
A chemical peel is a quick, in-office procedure that usually takes 30–45 minutes. After gently cleansing your skin, your provider applies a custom-formulated solution, which may create a mild tingling or warming sensation. After the appropriate contact time, the solution is neutralized or removed, and soothing products are applied.
Post-treatment, your skin may feel tight or appear red, similar to a mild sunburn. Depending on the depth of the peel, visible peeling may occur over the next 3–7 days. We'll guide you on how to care for your skin during this period and which products to avoid. There’s no need to guess or go it alone—your aesthetic provider will walk you through every step.

When done as a series, peels can be a powerful tool for visible, long-term improvement—especially when combined with a professional skincare regimen. Chemical peels offer a wide range of benefits with minimal disruption to your routine. These include:
Patients with very sensitive skin, certain skin conditions (like rosacea), or recent sunburns may require a different approach or alternative treatments. We’ll always begin with a personalized skin analysis and consultation to ensure peels are safe and appropriate for your skin type.
Most people are excellent candidates for light to medium chemical peels, especially those with:
During recovery, it's important to avoid picking or scrubbing, use gentle skincare, and wear daily sunscreen. Our team provides all necessary post-peel care instructions and product recommendations to support healing and maximize your results. Downtime depends on the depth of the peel:
Results begin to show within a few days, as fresher skin emerges and tone evens out. For long-term improvement, we often recommend a series of 3–6 peels, spaced about 4–6 weeks apart.

At Healy Plastic Surgery, skincare is not an afterthought—it’s part of a long-term approach to beauty and wellness. Our Healy Aesthetics team includes licensed medical aesthetic professionals trained to assess and treat skin with expert-level care.

It depends on your goals. For general maintenance, every 4–6 weeks is common. For more targeted treatment (like hyperpigmentation or acne), we may recommend a series.
Not always. Light peels may produce only subtle flaking, while deeper peels result in more noticeable peeling. The effect doesn’t always reflect the strength—some of the best results come from regular, gentle treatments.
Yes, when properly selected and applied by trained professionals. We have experience safely treating a wide range of skin types using the right formulations.
You’ll need to wait 24–48 hours, depending on the peel. Light mineral makeup may be safe sooner, but we’ll advise based on your specific treatment.
Fall and winter are great because sun exposure is lower, but we perform peels year-round with appropriate sun protection.
