If you’re searching for ways to rejuvenate your complexion and address issues such as uneven skin tone, fine lines, or acne scars, our chemical peels offer a safe and effective solution suitable for nearly all ages and skin types. Chemical peels at Advanced Wellness & Aesthetics in Marlboro provide visible improvements in skin texture and radiance — often with minimal downtime — and can be tailored to your unique concerns thanks to a curated selection from our medical-grade SkinCeuticals line and advanced VI Peels. These treatments are specifically formulated to enhance your appearance while addressing your aesthetic goals.
SkinCeuticals chemical peels are medical-grade treatments designed to improve skin clarity, texture, and tone using clinically tested formulations backed by science. These peels accelerate cellular turnover and target fine lines, acne, discoloration, and dullness. They are particularly effective at diminishing dark spots and age spots that develop from sun exposure and aging. With varying intensities available, SkinCeuticals peels can be customized to meet each patient’s unique skin needs, making them a versatile option for first-time peel users and those seeking regular maintenance as part of a comprehensive skincare plan.
VI Peel treatments are medium-depth chemical peels known for their powerful blend of ingredients that address many concerns, including hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, fine lines, and sun damage. These peels are specially formulated to be safe and effective for darker skin tones while minimizing the risk of pigmentation changes. VI Peels combine TCA, retinoic acid, salicylic acid, and vitamin C to penetrate deeply while remaining gentle enough for minimal downtime. At Advanced Wellness & Aesthetics, the VI Peel is a popular choice for those looking to achieve smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin with visible results after just one treatment.
Chemical peels work by applying a controlled solution that gently removes the outermost layers of skin. This process helps to speed up cellular turnover, unclog pores, and encourage the growth of new, healthy skin cells. The treated old skin will eventually peel away, revealing fresher, more youthful skin underneath. As your skin heals, it appears smoother, brighter, and more evenly toned.
The process begins with a professional skin evaluation and a discussion of the patient’s goals and medical history. Our provider selects the appropriate peel type and strength during this consultation based on skin condition, concerns, and desired outcomes. Patients with conditions like melasma, sun damage, or acne may benefit from targeted formulations, such as the VI Peel or SkinCeuticals medical-grade peels.
Before the peel, the skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove oils, dirt, and residual skincare products. In some cases, a degreasing solution is applied to ensure even penetration of the chemical solution. This preparation phase is essential for optimizing results and minimizing the risk of irritation.
Most chemical peels do not require anesthesia, especially superficial and medium-depth peels like SkinCeuticals and VI Peel. Patients may experience a mild burning sensation during application, which is normal and indicates the treatment is working. Most individuals feel mild stinging or warmth that subsides quickly. A cooling fan or soothing compress may add comfort during the treatment.
The selected chemical peel solution is applied evenly across the skin using a brush, cotton pad, or gauze. Depending on the product used — such as trichloroacetic acid (TCA), salicylic acid, glycolic acid, or a proprietary blend in the VI Peel — the solution remains on the skin for a predetermined amount of time to exfoliate the outermost layers and stimulate cell renewal underneath.
Once the desired level of exfoliation is achieved, the peel is either neutralized or left to self-neutralize, depending on the specific product. The skin may appear flushed or frosted immediately after. Some patients experience a reaction similar to sunburn, which is normal and indicates the treatment is working effectively. Medical-grade options, such as SkinCeuticals peels and the advanced VI Peel, are designed to fit seamlessly into your lifestyle by offering predictable, manageable effects with minimal disruption. A specialized post-peel care regimen supports the skin’s natural recovery and protects results.
Most healthy adults are good candidates for chemical peels, especially those looking to improve surface-level skin concerns. Chemical peels are appropriate for all ages and skin types, but certain conditions (such as active infections or very sensitive skin) may require alternative approaches. For patients seeking to address significant skin laxity, chemical peels may be combined with more invasive procedures for optimal results. A consultation will help determine if a peel is right for you.
