Chemical Peels Overview

What Are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are advanced, medical-grade skin rejuvenation treatments designed to deeply exfoliate the skin and accelerate cellular turnover. At Neem Medical Spa, led by board-certified internal medicine physician Dr. Rosy Sandhu, we utilize specialized solutions featuring powerful exfoliating agents like salicylic, glycolic, lactic, and trichloroacetic (TCA) acids.

By carefully applying these custom formulations, we gently clear away dead, damaged surface cells, causing the dull outer layer to slough off and reveal the radiant, healthy skin underneath. Whether you are seeking top-tier chemical peels in Boston or visiting our convenient offices in Winchester, Lynnfield, and Salem, NH, our treatments are fully tailored to your unique skin type to target imperfections on the face, neck, or décolletage.

Variations in Chemical Peels

In our office, we offer several types of chemical peels at varying strengths (light, medium, and deep) to fit your skin goals. We offer several esteemed and recognized brands of medical-grade chemical peels, including VI Peel, PCA Peels, Enlighten™ Peel by Révé, and ZO® Skin Health Peels. All chemical peels are performed by a medical professional.

Light peels

Many people believe that a gentle chemical peel does nothing for your skin. However, this form of treatment, even without going ultra-strong, expedites the turnover of skin cells. This means that the surface of your skin is not blocked by dead, damaged, and unattractive cells. Results of light peels, such as our ZO Stimulator Peel, may include the diminished appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, a decrease in the appearance of scars and acne, an improved texture, and a beautiful glow. You can receive one of these peels on your lunch break and get back to your routine. We recommend that you get a light treatment around once a month for the ideal glowing results.

Medium-depth peels

Medium-depth chemical peels tend to produce a stinging effect (if anything at all). The mild acids in this peel actually have an anesthetic effect on the skin, which improves comfort throughout treatment. After a medium peel, such as the VI Peel, the skin may feel slightly sensitive, but not with unmanageable discomfort. This strength of peel penetrates further into the skin, and patients generally decide to have this level of facial treatment during an extended weekend. Your medium-depth peels are best for the deeper damage to the skin, such as advanced lines and darker pigmentation problems.

Deep peels

The strongest of the three peel levels is the deep peel, and it requires the most recovery time. Everyone’s sensitivity varies, but the deep chemical peels offered at Neem Medical Spa can cause pain. Our aestheticians will help address any discomfort you may have with anesthesia prior to your procedure. This is an aggressive cosmetic treatment that could leave your face swollen, peeling, and itchy for several weeks. Deep chemical peels typically treat age or dark spots, sun damage, significant acne scars, or advanced scars. If you are interested in a deep treatment, ask about our VI or Enlighten Peels. 

If you want results that you are not getting from a lotion or cream, consider what a chemical peel can do. A mild peel will rejuvenate your skin with no downtime, while medium to deep peels can resurface your skin.

  • Acne and Scar Management: Clears away dead cells that clog pores, while minimizing the appearance of active acne and stubborn acne scars.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Chemical Peels in Boston?

Receiving an aesthetician's suggestions is the first step in your journey to healthier skin. We will evaluate your skin during a consultation before selecting a chemical peel. You may have visible skin problems, such as scars, rough patches, hyperpigmentation, flakiness, sun spots, fine lines, wrinkles, and more. We can recommend multiple types of peels for treatment.

The most common use of chemical peels in Boston is to rejuvenate the appearance of facial skin. However, this exfoliation method can be performed on other parts of the body, such as the back. Customized to preferences and to the intended goal, this method of treatment can address issues, such as diminished vibrancy, fine lines and wrinkles, and poor skin tone. Using a precise formulation tailored to your skin condition and downtime preference, a peel reveals healthier skin cells hidden just beneath the surface.

Treatment Technique

At your appointment at Neem Medical Spa, we will have you lie in a comfortable position to administer your treatment. An aesthetician will ensure your skin is clean prior to applying the chemical peel. We will massage the selected solution onto your skin and allow it to work for an appropriate length of time determined in your chemical peel consultation. Finally, we will clean the peel off your skin and put on a neutralizing agent. You will be encouraged to bring sunscreen or a hat to wear outside following the peel to protect yourself from harmful environmental exposure.

What is Global Eyecon?

In terms of the face, the eyes can be the biggest indication of one's age. Global Eyecon is a multi-step chemical peel designed with the eyes in mind. Through the use of this treatment, we are able to help patients reduce the visibility of eye bags, dark circles, droopy upper eyelids, fine lines, and wrinkles. Men and women tend to love this treatment for its quick sessions, minimal downtime, and stunning results. First, we will use a periocular peel meant to enhance the pigmentation in the area directly around the eyes. After three minutes, this peel is removed and we will apply a neutralizing agent to sterilize the skin. At this point, a periocular solution will be administered to aid in depigmentation and microcirculation while also boosting the production of collagen and elastin in the area. Finally, a crystal fiber mask will be applied to the treatment area. The hyaluronic acid (HA) found within this mask will hydrate your skin while traces of aloe vera and cucumber are used to soothe it. For most patients, we recommend scheduling three sessions each spaced about two weeks apart in order to achieve the optimal results.

 ZO® Stimulator Peel

The ZO® Stimulator Peel delivers ultimate results with no downtime, redness, or peeling. It is suitable for most patients. This peel can repair sun damage, age spots, mild acne, enlarged pores, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles while stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture. By combining salicylic acid, lactic acid, and citric acid, the ZO Stimulator Peel removes dead skin cells and promotes cell turnover. The end result is brighter, clearer skin with fewer imperfections. For the best results, we suggest 4 – 6 treatments scheduled 3 – 4 weeks apart. Skin improvement is visible after one treatment.

  ZO® 3-Step Peel

The ZO 3-Step Peel is stronger than our other peels and targets moderate-to-severe melasma, acne, fine lines, rough texture, large pores, and dullness. This highly effective peel provides skin renewal and stimulation by utilizing a blend of exfoliants, retinol, and multi-action agents to significantly improve skin health and appearance. In the first step, a combination of salicylic acid, trichloroacetic acid (TCA), and lactic acid is applied to exfoliate the skin. Next, a retinol cream is smoothed onto the skin to repair, renew, and protect it. In the third and final step, a calming cream is massaged in minimize irritation and provide antioxidant protection during healing. The three-step process creates longer-lasting results than other peels. You will experience moderate peeling for 5 – 7 days. You may repeat the peel every 4 – 12 weeks for deeper repair. The ZO 3-Step Peel is suitable for all skin types.

WIQO PRX-T33

WiQo PRX-t33 is a groundbreaking and effective chemical peel that promotes natural skin regeneration without the aggressive, painful effects that can often be associated with chemical peels. It can dramatically improve the skin texture and laxity in order to reduce the signs of aging for smoother, younger-looking skin. The treatment provides immediate improvement to the texture of your skin by providing hydration to the deepest levels of the skin. Additionally, there is no peeling, flaking, photosensitivity, or downtime associated with WiQo PRX-t33. The treatments will be administered at weekly intervals over the course of four appointments in order to achieve the maximum results from the peel.

What to Expect

Based on the level of the chemical peel you choose, you should expect the face to peel and itch from several days to two or more weeks. Dr. Sandhu or a member of our team will talk to you about methods to treat your face during your consultation. Intense peeling that requires weeks of downtime usually only occurs with the deepest, strongest peels. You may have slight flaking from most mild peels due to the treatment inducing cell turnover — a natural process of sloughing off dead skin cells which slows down as we age. But this is a good thing! In addition, the nutrients being infused in the skin are more beneficial than what is being taken off. Please remember that no matter how badly your skin itches throughout the post-treatment process, it's not helpful to pick the skin off. You may create scarring to your delicate skin!

Is there any downtime after a chemical peel in Boston?

Downtime depends entirely on the strength of the peel you choose. Light peels, like our ZO® Stimulator Peel, require zero downtime, allowing you to return to your daily routine immediately. Medium-depth peels may cause mild flaking for a few days, while deep peels (such as the Enlighten™ Peel) involve intensive peeling and swelling that can last for several weeks.

Can chemical peels safely treat the sensitive eye area?

Yes! We offer Global Eyecon, a revolutionary multi-step chemical peel specifically engineered for the delicate skin around the eyes. This targeted treatment safely reduces the appearance of dark circles, eye bags, droopy upper eyelids, and fine lines with minimal downtime.

Are chemical peels painful?

Most patients experience only a mild tingling or stinging sensation during light to medium-depth peels. In fact, the mild acids in our medium-depth treatments often have a built-in anesthetic effect to maximize your comfort. For our deepest, most aggressive cosmetic peels, the medical professionals at Neem Medical Spa can provide anesthesia or numbing options prior to the procedure to manage any discomfort.
