Chemical Peels in Oswego

What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel uses a carefully formulated solution to create controlled exfoliation and stimulate new skin growth. The Cleveland Clinic explains that the solution causes the outer layers of skin to peel away, revealing smoother skin with fewer lines and wrinkles and a more even color. Chemical peels address a range of concerns — from fine lines and mild scarring to sun spots, age spots and uneven pigmentation. Our licensed professionals will select the right peel depth and ingredients for your skin type and goals.

Treatment Information

• Targets: Fine lines, acne and mild scarring, sun spots, freckles, uneven skin tone and rough texture
• Types of peels:
  • Light peel – removes the outermost layer for subtle improvement; ideal for dry, sun‑damaged or uneven skin; minimal downtime
  • Medium peel – penetrates deeper to smooth moderate discoloration, age spots or acne scarring; one‑week recovery
  • Deep peel – reaches lower layers of skin for dramatic improvement of deeper lines, extensive sun damage or precancerous growths; significant downtime and usually performed once
• Procedure: Skin is cleansed and eyes/hair protected before the peeling solution is applied. You may feel warmth or tingling for a few minutes; a cool compress eases discomfort.
• Results: After your skin heals, you’ll notice a smoother texture, brighter tone and reduced discoloration. Light peels may be performed in a series for cumulative benefits.
