A chemical peel is a professional skin-resurfacing treatment that uses a carefully selected chemical solution to gently remove damaged outer layers of skin, revealing fresher, more radiant skin underneath. At Eclipse Medical Aesthetics, our chemical peels are customized to address fine lines, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and uneven skin texture. Whether you’re looking to refresh tired-looking skin or tackle specific concerns, a chemical peel can deliver remarkable results with minimal downtime.
Led by Cassandra Rommel, ARNP, with 17 years of medical experience and extensive training in aesthetic treatments, Eclipse Medical Aesthetics delivers chemical peels with the precision and care of a medical professional. All chemical peels are performed by Genevieve, our esthetician, who has a true passion for skin health and all things skincare. She loves helping patients better understand their skin, creating personalized treatment plans, and combining thoughtful skincare with professional treatments to support healthy, radiant results. Her approach is warm, detail-oriented, and focused on helping each patient feel confident and cared for in their own skin.
What is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel uses medical-grade solutions—typically containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), or trichloroacetic acid (TCA)—to safely exfoliate and stimulate skin renewal. The strength and type of peel are selected based on your skin type, concerns, and desired results. Light-to-medium peels work well for fine lines, uneven skin tone, and mild sun damage, while deeper peels address more significant scarring and severe discoloration.
Benefits of Chemical Peels
-
Reduced fine lines and wrinkles – Chemical peels stimulate collagen production and smooth the skin’s surface
-
Improved skin texture – Uneven texture, roughness, and enlarged pores become noticeably refined
-
Brighter, more even tone – Sun damage, age spots, and hyperpigmentation fade significantly
-
Acne scar reduction – Peels help smooth the appearance of shallow to moderate scarring
-
Enhanced product absorption – Newly resurfaced skin absorbs skincare products more effectively
-
Natural, refreshed appearance – Results look beautiful without appearing overdone
Ideal Candidates
Chemical peels work beautifully for anyone seeking to address sun damage, fine lines, uneven skin tone, or texture concerns. They’re particularly effective for those with fair to medium skin tones, though medium-depth peels can be customized for deeper skin tones. During your consultation, Cassandra will evaluate your skin, discuss your goals, and recommend the peel strength that will deliver the best results for you.
The Treatment & Recovery
During your peel, the customized chemical solution is carefully applied to the skin and left on for a precise duration based on the solution’s strength and your skin type. Most patients describe mild tingling or warmth. Light peels require minimal downtime—perhaps slight redness and mild peeling for a few days. Medium peels involve more noticeable peeling over 5-7 days but deliver more dramatic results. Cassandra will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal healing and results.
Results You Can Expect
You’ll notice improvements immediately after the initial peeling subsides, with continued refinement as new skin matures over several weeks. Many patients choose a series of peels spaced 4-6 weeks apart for optimal results. Combined with a strong home skincare routine and sun protection, a chemical peel can dramatically improve your skin’s appearance and health.
