When Should You Start Using Chemical Peels?

You might be wondering when it's the right time to begin using chemical peels

At City Skin MD, we offer light chemical peels suitable for all ages, starting from the teenage

years. You might be surprised by the wide range of skin concerns these peels can effectively address.

The Versatility of Chemical Peels

Light chemical peels are powerful tools for treating various common skin issues, such as facial blemishes, uneven skin tone, and fine lines and wrinkles. While these concerns are often linked

to aging, skin conditions like acne—which often begin during adolescence—can also lead to

these problems. Chemical peels offer solutions for both teens and adults.

The Obagi Radiance Peel

One of our featured treatments is the Obagi Radiance Peel, a gentle yet effective peel

that provides instant glow and radiance. Suitable for a range of skin types, this peel helps

improve the appearance of hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and uneven skin texture.

The Obagi Radiance Peel

is a versatile option that can be incorporated into your skincare routine, whether you’re

dealing with acne, signs of aging, or simply want to brighten your complexion.

The Multi-Acid Facial Peel: In-Office & At-Home Options

At City Skin MD, we also offer the Multi-Acid Facial Peel, available both in-office and as a

pre-dosed, two-step at-home treatment. This powerful peel combines multiple acids to

exfoliate, rejuvenate, and revitalize your skin. The in-office version is tailored specifically

to your skin’s

needs for maximum results, while the at-home option allows you to maintain those

benefits between visits. Both versions of the Multi-Acid Facial Peel work to reduce

the appearance of fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone,

leaving your skin smoother and more radiant.

Chemical Peels for Teens

Teenagers can experience significant acne relief with chemical peels that feature active

ingredients like lactic and glycolic acids. But the benefits don't stop there. These peels can

reduce the appearance of acne breakouts and scars, shrink pores, and brighten a dull

complexion. Our peels are customized to target your specific skin concerns, ensuring

optimal results.

Chemical Peels for Young Adults

Skin blemishes aren’t solely a result of aging. Sun exposure and other skin damage, often manifesting in your 20s, can also cause issues like dull skin and freckles. Light chemical peels, including the Obagi Radiance Peel and the Multi-Acid Facial Peel, can help reduce and even

reverse these signs of skin damage, restoring a more radiant complexion.

Chemical Peels for Middle-Aged and Older Adults

As we age, our skin undergoes changes and requires extra care, much like a well-loved vintage vehicle. For those in their 30s and beyond, skin conditions such as melasma and rosacea can become persistent challenges. Chemical peels, particularly the Obagi Radiance Peel and the

Multi-Acid Facial Peel, can help combat these conditions and other skin blemishes, keeping your

skin in top condition.

It’s Never Too Early to Care for Your Skin

Taking care of your skin early on can have a lasting impact on how it looks as you age.

Conditions like acne, eczema, and rosacea can affect your skin’s appearance later in life.

With age, the epidermis (the topmost layer of the skin) loses its effectiveness as a moisture barrier. Chemical peels stimulate new cell growth in the epidermis, rejuvenating the moisture barrier that protects and enhances your skin’s appearance.

Should You Use an At-Home Peel?

While at-home chemical peels, such as our Multi-Acid Facial Peel, are convenient and effective,

they should still be used with care. It’s important to follow professional guidance when using any

at-home peel to avoid potential skin damage. For best results, consider combining

at-home treatments with in-office peels supervised by our trained medical professionals.

Chemical Peels Aren’t Just for the Face

You've probably heard about chemical peels for the face, but did you know they can be used

on other areas of the body too? Body peels can remove old skin and promote the growth of a

new layer, effectively reducing issues like aging skin, "bacne," hyperpigmentation, and rough

texture in areas beyond the face.
