Chemical Peels
Over time, dead skin cells build up on your skin, causing dullness, flaking, and texture. You may be prone to dry skin, or you may find that your skin doesn’t quite look like it used to as you age. One of the best ways to give your skin a refresh is with a professional chemical peel.
For more radiant, glowing skin, it’s important to exfoliate and encourage skin cell turnover. There are two forms of exfoliation: chemical and physical. While physical exfoliation has its place, it is oftentimes too abrasive for inflamed or sensitive skin. Chemical peels in Lambertville are a more gentle approach. They use professional-grade ingredients to exfoliate away dead skin cells for restored, beautiful skin.

Recovery & Downtime

The Chemical Peels Process.
What to Expect?
Consultation.
Before your chemical peel in Lambertville, you'll meet with one of our providers for a skin consultation. We will discuss your skin concerns, goals, and sensitivities to find the best chemical peel technique for you. Based on this consultation, we will create a personalized treatment plan for your needs.
Chemical Peel Treatment.
Your provider will make sure you are comfortable, clean the treatment area, then apply the chemical peel product. Depending on the depth of your treatment, the procedure time and products used vary.
Results.
You may notice some results right away, but your chemical peel results will progress throughout the next few days as your skin heals.
Before your appointment for a chemical peel in Lambertville at Angie Scott Medical Aesthetics, it is important to:
- Avoid another deep exfoliation treatment or facial hair removal at least two weeks before.
- Let your provider know about any medications you’re on.
- Tell your provider about any active skincare products you’re using, as we may advise you to stop using it before your chemical peel.
- Limit your sun exposure and wear SPF.
To properly care for and get the most out of your chemical peel in Lambertville, we recommend you:
- Avoid sun exposure over the next several days; if it’s unavoidable, wear SPF and other forms of sun protection.
- Use soothing skincare ingredients and avoid exfoliation or irritating ingredients.
- Follow additional aftercare instructions from your provider.
