Summer sun, heat, and outdoor fun can leave skin looking tired, uneven, and damaged. Fall is the perfect season to reset your complexion, and at Wilmington Dermatology Center, our customized chemical peels help you refresh, renew, and restore your skin’s natural glow.
What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a professional skin treatment designed to gently remove the outer layer of damaged skin, stimulating healthy new cell turnover.
By exfoliating the surface, peels reduce imperfections, smooth texture, and brighten dull complexions. From acne scars and discoloration to fine lines and sun damage, chemical peels are a versatile solution for a wide range of concerns.
At WDC, we offer a variety of peel options, including SkinCeuticals®, SkinMedica®, APEELE™, and our latest innovation, BioRepeel—a no-peeling, no-downtime treatment that still delivers impressive results.
Types of Chemical Peels
- Superficial Peels: Minimal downtime, subtle improvements in brightness and texture. Great for acne scars, early fine lines, and sun spots.
- Medium Peels: Target deeper concerns like pigmentation, wrinkles, and more stubborn texture issues.
- Deep Peels: An intensive option for advanced sun damage and scarring, offering dramatic results with longer recovery.
Your provider will help you choose the right level of peel to match your skin type, lifestyle, and goals.
Why Choose Wilmington Dermatology Center?
Chemical peels require expertise. The timing, strength, and application matter, and when done incorrectly, peels can cause scarring or uneven pigmentation.
At WDC, Dr. Rosalyn George and our team bring over 75 years of combined experience, making us one of the most trusted names in Eastern North Carolina for advanced skin treatments.
Our approach is fully customized—we take the time to evaluate your skin during a complimentary consultation and recommend the best plan to achieve a smooth, radiant result.
What to Expect from Your Peel
- Before Treatment – We’ll review your skin history and prep your skin for optimal results.
- During Treatment – The peel solution is applied with precision, tailored to your skin type and goals.
- After Treatment – You’ll notice smoother, brighter skin as new cells surface. Depending on the peel, mild flaking or peeling may occur in the days that follow.
Most patients see noticeable improvements after just one treatment, though a series of peels can maximize long-term results.
Are You a Candidate?
Chemical peels are safe and effective for many skin types, but factors such as recent acne medications, darker skin tones, or unusual scarring may mean a different treatment is a better fit. That’s why a professional consultation is essential.
