Everything You Need to Know About Chemical Peels – A Guide

Autumn is a time for slowing down. As the world prepares for winter, we prepare for family gatherings, festive tablescapes, and other occasions to mark the changing seasons and our place within them. 

But it’s difficult to look forward to the holidays when persistent acne scarring, blemishes, and wrinkles hold us back. Like the trees shedding their leaves, we could use a reset—especially for our facial skin. 

Our skin has its own seasons of growth, death, and renewal. But as we age, this cycle slows, leaving dead skin build-up to compromise the next generation of healthy cells. At Rodgers Dermatology in Frisco, TX, we use leading chemical peels to reset skin health. Here’s how.

In the meantime, here’s everything you need to know about chemical peel results, chemical peel varieties, and more!

What are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are safe, acid-based solutions designed to penetrate skin at different depths and for numerous benefits. 

As a near-comprehensive form of facial rejuvenation, chemical peels clear away dead skin cells, oils, and toxins while promoting collagen development for faster healing, improved texture, and fewer blemishes. 

Chemical peels typically come in three intensities: superficial, medium, and deep. It’s recommended that new patients start with light or superficial peels first. 

How Do Chemical Peels Work?

When we’re young, our skin regenerates entirely on something like a 28-day cycle. But as we age, this cycle takes longer each month. Dead skin cells start to linger, releasing oils and toxins that plug pores and sabotage the next generation of healthy skin cells growing to the surface.

Chemical peels reset this skin cycle. By washing away dead cells and the toxins they release, chemical peels improve the quality and texture of emerging skin. Additionally, because your skin registers the acidic solution as “damage,” it releases a localized flood of collagen and elastin—two structural proteins responsible for skin health, tightness, and tone. 

Chemical peels can reverse years of photoaging (skin damage caused by sun exposure), soften acne scars, and reduce the visual impact of fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth, nose, eyes, and elsewhere. 

So, with the skin science and results in mind, which chemical peel is right for you? 

Best Chemical Peel for Photoaging/Sun Damage

Ultraviolet radiation from the sun can accelerate aging drastically. Overexposed skin can develop discolorations (hyperpigmentation), uneven textures, and deepening fine lines and wrinkles.

At Rodgers Dermatology, we recommend an AlphaRet Peel for the signs and symptoms of premature aging. Packed with alpha retinol—a potent form of vitamin A that encourages cellular development and supports connective tissues—this chemical peel variety can make a visual difference after just one appointment.

AlphaRet peels reverse, combat, or soften many of the symptoms associated with photoaging, including:

  • Discolorations
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Fine lines & wrinkles
  • Sagging skin
  • Dull skin
  • Clogged pores

Best Chemical Peel for Acne, Melasma, & Chronic Skin Conditions

Chemical peels can easily become a part of your regular skin care routine—especially if you’re concerned about premature aging. But the treatment can also be used for medical dermatology—to reverse the lingering effects of chronic skin conditions. 

For the treatment of acne outbreaks, acne scars, and melasma patches, the Melange Mini Peel works wonders. This chemical peel variety is formulated specifically for outbreak-prone skin. 

By encouraging collagen and elastin development, and scouring the skin of harmful oils and toxins that fuel outbreaks, the Melange Mini Peel promotes healing, tone, tightness, and texture. 

The benefits of our Melange Mini Peel include:

  • Fewer outbreaks
  • Increased healing of new & old scars
  • More even skin texture
  • More even skin tone
  • Fewer discolorations
  • Softened fine lines & wrinkles
