Dr. Robert Schwarcz, with offices on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in NYC and Rye, NY, offers customized chemical peel treatments to help you achieve radiant, healthy skin.
What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel involves applying a solution to the skin that exfoliates the outer layers, stimulating cell turnover and revealing fresher, healthier skin beneath. Peels come in varying strengths—light, medium, and deep—and are tailored to address specific skin concerns.
When to Consider a Chemical Peel
1. To Improve Uneven Skin Tone
Chemical peels effectively target hyperpigmentation, melasma, sunspots, and age spots, leaving your skin brighter and more even-toned.
2. To Treat Acne and Acne Scars
Peels unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and minimize acne scars by promoting skin renewal.
3. To Reduce Fine Lines and Wrinkles
A medium or deep peel stimulates collagen production, softening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, especially around the eyes and mouth.
4. To Brighten Dull Skin
Peels exfoliate dead skin cells that can make your complexion look dull, restoring a fresh, radiant glow.
5. To Smooth Skin Texture
Whether you’re dealing with rough patches, enlarged pores, or mild scars, a chemical peel can refine your skin’s surface for a smoother finish.
6. To Prepare for an Event
A light peel can provide an instant boost for your skin, making it look polished and vibrant for special occasions.
Types of Chemical Peels
1. Light Peels:
Best For: Minor discoloration, dull skin, and mild acne.
Recovery: Minimal downtime; slight redness or peeling for a day or two.
2. Medium Peels:
Best For: Moderate wrinkles, acne scars, and uneven tone.
Recovery: Peeling and redness for 5–7 days.
3. Deep Peels:
Best For: Deep wrinkles, severe sun damage, and significant scarring.
Recovery: Requires more downtime, but results are dramatic and long-lasting.
