Northstar Dermatology provides a range of medical-grade chemical peels in varying strengths and concentrations to treat hyperpigmentation, discoloration, uneven skin tone and texture, acne, and general anti-aging concerns. These peels work by gently exfoliating and resurfacing the skin’s outer layer, promoting 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 cosmetic specialists during a quick in-office visit. Before treatment, our experts will conduct a full-face assessment to discuss your cosmetic goals and determine the most suitable peel(s). Once you’re comfortably positioned, a single layer of the solution will be gently 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 exfoliate the skin. The peel will then be neutralized, and post-care will be provided. Some redness may follow the treatment, and more advanced peels may result in minimal downtime, including possible peeling of the skin’s outer layer.
Your board-certified dermatologist may recommend a series of chemical peels to address stubborn acne scars or conditions like melasma.
