Improve tone, texture, and clarity with customized exfoliation designed to renew and refine your skin.

Reveal Brighter, More Even Skin

Over time, sun exposure, environmental stress, acne, and natural aging can dull the complexion and create uneven tone or rough texture. When the outermost layers of skin become damaged or congested, topical products alone may not produce meaningful improvement.

Chemical peels offer a controlled, strategic method of exfoliation that encourages cellular turnover and reveals smoother, healthier-looking skin beneath. At Coleman Brown Plastic Surgery, peels are selected and customized based on your skin type, concerns, and desired level of correction. Patients in Tysons Corner and Chevy Chase choose chemical peels to restore clarity in a way that looks refreshed, not overly treated.

What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a skin treatment that uses a carefully formulated solution to exfoliate the outer layers of the skin. By removing damaged surface cells, the treatment stimulates renewal and improves tone, texture, and overall radiance.

Peels vary in strength and depth. Light peels provide gentle exfoliation with minimal downtime, while medium-depth peels penetrate more deeply to address pigmentation, fine lines, and acne scarring. The appropriate peel is selected based on your skin condition and desired outcome. We aim for controlled renewal that supports smoother, more even skin over time.

The Benefits of Chemical Peels

Improved Skin Texture: Chemical peels remove damaged surface cells to create a smoother, more refined texture.
Brighter Complexion: Exfoliation encourages fresh cell turnover, revealing a clearer and more luminous appearance.
Reduced Pigmentation: Peels can improve the appearance of sun damage, discoloration, and uneven tone.
Softened Fine Lines: Stimulated renewal helps minimize the visibility of fine lines and superficial wrinkles.
Clearer Pores: Exfoliation helps reduce congestion and may improve acne-prone skin.

Should I consider a Chemical Peel?

You may be a candidate if you are concerned about uneven tone, dullness, mild acne scarring, sun damage, or early signs of aging. Chemical peels are suitable for many skin types, though the type and depth of peel must be carefully selected.

During your consultation, we evaluate your skin, review your skincare routine, and determine which formulation will best align with your goals. Proper pre-treatment preparation may be recommended to support optimal results and minimize irritation.

The Chemical Peel Process What to Expect

1. Skin Assessment

We examine your skin type, tone, and areas of concern to determine the appropriate peel strength and formulation.

2. Skin Preparation

The skin is cleansed thoroughly, and protective measures are applied as needed.

3. Application of the Peel Solution

The chemical solution is applied in controlled layers and left on the skin for a carefully monitored amount of time.

4. Post-Treatment Care Guidance

You receive detailed instructions to support healing and protect newly revealed skin.

Your Chemical Peel Results and Recovery

Following a light peel, you may experience mild redness and subtle flaking for several days. Medium-depth peels may involve more noticeable peeling and temporary sensitivity. As the outer layer sheds, smoother and brighter skin becomes more visible. Improvements in tone and clarity continue as collagen stimulation and cellular turnover progress.

Protecting the skin with sunscreen and proper skincare is essential during the healing phase. When incorporated into a strategic treatment plan, chemical peels support long-term skin refinement rather than temporary surface change.
