What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a skin treatment that uses an acid, or a blend of acids, to exfoliate the skin and remove dead skin cells from its surface. By removing this outer layer, chemical peels stimulate your skin's natural ability to produce collagen so you can maintain better skin elasticity and firmness.Â
This process helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and improves overall skin texture and tone. We know you’ll love your smoother, more radiant complexion!Â

What to Expect During Your Facial Peel Appointment
During your facial peel appointment at Cedar Grove Aesthetics, you'll begin with a consultation where we discuss your skin concerns and goals. Our team will assess your skin to select the most suitable peel.
The procedure starts with cleansing your skin to remove any impurities. We’ll then carefully apply the chemical solution, which typically stays on your skin for about ten to fifteen minutes, depending on the type and strength of the peel. You might feel a mild tingling or warming sensation during this time. After removing the peel, we'll apply soothing products to help your skin heal and rejuvenate. We’ll give you instructions for proper aftercare.

Peeling and flaking are also typical as your skin heals.
