Chemical peels can help improve your skin's appearance by exfoliating the top layer of dead skin cells.
At Boston Medical Aesthetics, we offer a variety of chemical peels to help improve the look and feel of your skin. Whether you're looking to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, or acne scars, our team of experts can help you find the right treatment for you.
A chemical peel is a treatment that aims to alter the appearance of the skin on the neck, hands, and face. A chemical solution is applied, causing skin to "blister" and subsequently peel off. The new skin that is revealed after a chemical peel is typically smoother with fewer wrinkles. There are different types of our Boston chemical peels, and the type that is right for you will depend on your skin type and the condition of your skin.
Power Peels are medical-grade chemical peels only available through licensed physicians and medical spas. Power peels are stronger and deeper than other types of peels. They are best for people with more significant skin concerns, such as sun damage, acne, melasma, and other pigmentary disorders. Power peels promote cell renewal and minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles without abrasion or downtime. Power peels can be done as often as every 4-6 weeks, depending on your skin’s needs.
There are many benefits to a chemical peel. They are non-invasive and provide immediate results with minimal downtime.

A chemical peel is usually performed in a doctor's office or spa. The procedure itself is relatively short, taking about 30 minutes to an hour. You will be asked to remove all makeup and cleansers from your face. A numbing cream may be applied to your skin if you are having a medium or deep peel. The aesthetician will then apply the chemical solution to your skin. You may feel a burning or tingling sensation during this time. After the solution has been on your skin for the desired amount of time, it will be neutralized and removed. A bandage or ointment may be applied to your skin. You will be given aftercare instructions and scheduled for a follow-up appointment.
You will see the results of your peel immediately. The skin will be red and slightly swollen. You may experience some peeling or flaking after a few days. It is important to avoid picking or scratching at the skin during the healing process. You should also avoid sun exposure and use sunscreen daily. It is also important to avoid using any skincare products that may irritate the skin. Your doctor or aesthetician will give you specific instructions on how to care for your skin during the recovery process.
