Chemical peels are a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that improve skin tone, texture and clarity by removing damaged outer layers of skin. At Pacific Coast Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, our oral and maxillofacial surgeon and team offer chemical peels in Arcadia, Glendale, Mission Hills and Pasadena, California, as part of a comprehensive approach to facial aesthetics and skin health. These treatments are effective in addressing fine lines, uneven pigmentation, sun damage and mild acne scarring.
A chemical peel uses a customized solution applied to the skin to exfoliate surface layers and stimulate cellular regeneration. As the skin heals, new layers form that appear smoother, brighter and more even in tone. Treatment depth and formula strength are selected based on the patient’s skin type, condition and treatment goals.
When to Consider a Chemical Peel
Chemical peels are often recommended for patients looking to refresh their appearance with a non-surgical option. Depending on the skin’s needs, peels can be used to:
- Reduce the appearance of sun spots and age-related pigmentation
- Improve texture and smoothness by removing dull, dry skin
- Address minor scarring or blemishes left by acne
- Minimize fine lines or superficial wrinkles
- Balance uneven skin tone caused by sun exposure or hormonal changes
During the initial consultation, our oral and maxillofacial surgeon and team evaluate the patient’s skin, review any previous treatments and determine the best type of peel. Pre-treatment instructions are also provided to ensure safe and effective results.
Technology and Techniques for Safe Treatment
Our team uses medical-grade chemical solutions that are carefully formulated and controlled. Each peel is applied with precision, and patients are monitored to ensure proper skin response. Treatment sessions vary in intensity and duration, with most requiring minimal downtime and yielding visible improvements after recovery.
We also offer guidance on post-treatment care, including moisturizers, sun protection and follow-up visits. For patients incorporating peels into a broader aesthetic plan, we coordinate timing and products to avoid complications.
