What are Chemical Peels?

Here at Suncoast Skin Solutions, we offer professional skincare solutions in Sarasota, that are tailored to suit your skin condition and desired outcomes. Chemical peels use salicylic acid to exfoliate the top layers of skin, sloughing off dead skin cells to refresh the complexion. This is a great option for patients who want smooth, radiant skin without going through invasive procedures like laser resurfacing or surgery, and who aren't getting the results they want via over-the-counter skin care. Our Sarasota chemical peel experts often recommend starting with a light chemical exfoliation before working up to a deeper peel.

How Much Do Chemical Peels Cost?

Because each person’s skin is unique, the cost of chemical peels and skincare solutions at our Sarasota cosmetic dermatology clinic may vary. Costs depend on things like the types of treatment chosen, and the extent of the treatment needed to achieve the results you want. When you book a private consultation with us, you can get personalized recommendations and cost estimates for your chemical peel.

What Can I Expect During my Chemical Peel?

All our chemical peels are performed by one of our board-certified dermatologists. Prior to your peel, your skin will be cleansed and a topical anesthetic will be applied. After you are comfortable, the recommended chemical solution will be applied to your face and allowed to sit for an activation period. Then the solution will be cleaned off and replaced with a neutralizing solution. Chemical peel appointments are typically over in one hour or less.

What Can I Expect After my Chemical Peel?

Chemical peels are minimally invasive, but you may experience a short recovery period afterward. You may notice some redness and sun sensitivity, kind of like the feeling of a sunburn. Dead skin will slough off over the next 5-14 days, after which your fresh, radiant skin will be revealed.

Are Chemical Peels Right for Me?

If you want better skin tone and texture or a reduced appearance of scarring or wrinkles, without surgery or laser treatments, chemical peels may be right for you. We encourage you to schedule a consultation to find the right skincare solution from our Sarasota dermatologists to assess your skin and talk about your desired outcomes.
