Northstar Dermatology provides a range of medical-grade chemical peels in various strengths and concentrations to address concerns like hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone and texture, acne, and overall signs of aging. These chemical peels work by exfoliating and resurfacing the outer layer of skin, promoting skin cell renewal for a brighter, more even complexion.
Acne Treatment (Salicylic Acid) Peels (Level I & II):
• Reduces the severity of acne
• Improves the appearance of acne scarring
• Improves skin texture and tone
Glycolic Acid Peels (Level I, II, III):
• Improves appearance of discoloration
• Evens out skin texture and tone
• Boosts clarity and radiance
• Reduces appearance of fine lines/wrinkles
Rejuvenating Peel (TCA Peel):
• Reduces fine lines and wrinkles
• Improves mild-moderate hyperpigmentation or darkening of the skin
• Improves skin texture and tone
Chemical peels are administered by our cosmetic specialists in a brief in-office visit. Before treatment, our experts will conduct a thorough facial assessment to discuss your cosmetic goals and determine the most suitable peel(s) for you. Once you’re comfortably seated, a single layer of the peel solution is carefully applied to your skin.
Additional layers may be applied as tolerated. During the treatment, you may experience a “tingling,” “stinging,” or mild “burning” sensation as the active ingredients work to exfoliate the skin. The peel will then be neutralized, and post-care will be provided. Mild redness may follow the treatment, and more advanced peels may involve minimal downtime, including possible peeling of the outer skin layer.
Your Board-Certified Dermatologist may recommend a series of chemical peels to address persistent acne scars or conditions like melasma.
