How Chemical Peels Help With Acne Scars and Skin Texture

At Parks Dermatology Center, with locations in Palm Coast, Ormond Beach, and Port Orange, FL, chemical peels are a trusted and effective option for reducing acne scars and improving uneven skin texture. This treatment promotes smoother skin by addressing surface imperfections and encouraging healthy skin regeneration.

How Chemical Peels Work

Chemical peels are a procedure in which a custom-formulated solution is applied to exfoliate the outer layers of the skin. As the damaged skin cells are peeled away, the treatment stimulates the growth of new, healthier skin. Different types and strengths of peels can be used to treat a variety of concerns, including mild acne scarring, rough skin texture, and irregular pigmentation. Your provider will select the most appropriate peel for your skin type and goals to provide safe and effective treatment.

Improving Acne Scars and Texture

Chemical peels are also extremely effective at improving acne scars, such as shallow depressions and post-acne pigmentation. Deeper or more severe scars may occasionally require other types of treatment, but chemical peels can significantly improve the appearance of mild to moderate scarring. They also smooth out uneven or rough texture, making the skin look more even and feel much smoother.

What to Expect During Treatment

A chemical peel treatment begins with thoroughly cleansing the skin and applying the peeling solution. The solution can remain on the skin for a specified duration based on the peel being performed. Patients can experience a mild tingling or warming sensation during the process. Following treatment, the skin will be red and start flaking or peeling within the next few days as the old skin is shed and new skin appears. Your provider will give individualized aftercare instructions to promote proper healing and outcome.

Personalized Dermatologic Care

Because each person's skin is different, chemical peel results vary based on individual factors like skin tone, scar depth, and sensitivity. Working with an experienced provider is key to getting the best results. At Parks Dermatology Center, we focus on individualized care, customizing each treatment to match your unique skin needs and goals.
