Chemical Peels
Medical-grade chemical peels customized to your skin — treating dullness, fine lines, acne, and dark spots at our Leland, NC dermatology office.

About Chemical Peels
A chemical peel applies a carefully chosen exfoliating solution to remove damaged outer skin layers and stimulate fresh cell turnover, improving tone, texture, fine lines, breakouts, and pigmentation. The word "peel" covers a wide range — from gentle lunchtime treatments to deeper resurfacing — and the choice of acid, strength, and layering is where expertise matters. At Intracoastal Dermatology, peels are selected for your specific skin type and concern, and can be combined with your medical acne or pigment treatment plan.

Expected Results
Onset
5-7 days after peeling
Duration
Results continue to improve over weeks
Maintenance
Series of peels recommended for optimal results
Ongoing Care
Lighter peels involve little more than a day or two of mild flaking; deeper peels trade more visible peeling for bigger results. Most concerns respond best to a series of peels spaced several weeks apart, and daily sunscreen afterward is essential to maintain the improvement. We will recommend the right depth and cadence for your skin at consultation.
