Chemical Peels

When administered by an experienced professional who understands your skincare goals, a chemical peel treatment can dramatically improve the skin! Chemical peel benefits include:

• Removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores through deep exfoliation.
• Smoothing out skin texture and evening out skin tone.
• Brightening the skin by stimulating blood flow.
• Improving the look of acne lesions and breakouts.
• Diminishing fine lines and wrinkles.
• Alleviating post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
• Reducing the appearance of skin damage (sunspots and dark spots).
• Reviving the skin for a brighter, more radiant complexion.

Yes, there are several different types of chemical peels for both at-home and in-office use. However, at-home peels are often much gentler than in-office peels and typically don’t offer the same show-stopping results as those administered by a professional dermatologist.

At Cumberland Skin, we offer the following types of chemical peels at our clinics in Hendersonville, Lebanon, and Hermitage, TN:

• Salicylic Acid – Great for clogged pores and acne-prone skin.
• Glycolic Acid – Ideal for uneven skin tone and reducing aging signs.
• Trichloroacetic Acid – Greatly improves skin discoloration and wrinkles.
• Glutathione – A peptide that brightens the skin and reduces inflammation.
• Retinol – Enhances collagen production, firms the skin, and reduces wrinkles.

Additionally, chemical peels typically come in three different levels: superficial, medium, and deep. This indicates how deeply the peels penetrate the skin. For example, salicylic acid chemical peels are superficial, which only affect the top layer of skin.

Chemical peels treat several skin conditions and skin imperfections. If you have any of the following, a chemical peel may be able to help.

• Acne and acne scars.
• Uneven skin tone or texture.
• Fine lines and wrinkles.
• Signs of sun damage (such as dark spots).
• Dull, lackluster skin.
• Hyperpigmentation.

Yes, chemical peels can certainly help or improve the look of hyperpigmentation. This cosmetic resurfacing treatment removes the outer layer of damaged skin and reveals fresh skin underneath that’s more even toned.

Chemical peels are very effective at improving the appearance of acne scarring. During a chemical peel, the old skin is replaced with fresh, new skin that is often softer and smoother.

One of the side effects of a chemical peel treatment is slight burning or a stinging sensation during and after the procedure. However, our experienced physicians attempt to alleviate any discomfort by using cool compresses to soothe the skin. For deeper chemical peels, we may administer pain medication before and after the procedure to minimize pain.

After a chemical peel the skin is very sensitive, so it’s important to use gentle skin care products. This means no harsh or abrasive products, such as retinol creams/serums or exfoliating brushes. Furthermore, following a chemical peel the skin is also more susceptible to sun damage, so it’s essential to protect it as much as possible by avoiding direct sunlight and wearing sunscreen.

For a more comprehensive post-peel aftercare plan, it’s best to speak to your board-certified dermatologist.
