Medically Supervised Resurfacing for Brighter, Smoother Skin
Chemical Peels in Burlington
Medical chemical peels use clinically chosen acids (glycolic, salicylic, TCA and others) to remove damaged surface layers, even tone, soften fine lines and improve texture. Performed under medical supervision, our peel programs are tailored to your skin type and goals—whether you want a quick glow, targeted pigment correction, or deeper resurfacing for more significant texture issues.
Who this is for
Adults with dull or uneven tone, sun damage, melasma or post-acne pigmentation, fine lines, or rough texture who want predictable, professionally supervised resurfacing. We evaluate darker skin types carefully to select safe peel strengths and reduce pigment-risk.
What to expect
Consultation & plan: A brief skin assessment determines the ideal peel type and strength for your goals (light, medium or deep).
The procedure: Clinic-based treatments typically take 20–60 minutes. Light peels need little to no downtime; medium/deeper peels require staged aftercare and brief recovery.
Aftercare & results: Expect some redness, flaking or peeling depending on depth; full cosmetic benefit often appears as skin heals over days to weeks.
We provide step-by-step aftercare (sun protection, gentle skincare) and recommend a maintenance schedule or combination treatments for best long-term outcomes.

Dr. Shih is the best! I was so anxious leading up to my appointment but after meeting her, I felt so calm and confident that I went to the right place. She immediately put me at ease, explained my situation and options, and answered all of my questions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the most common questions we hear about Chemical Peels in Burlington
What is a chemical peel?
A chemical peel is a controlled, clinic-based exfoliation using acids (eg. glycolic, salicylic, TCA) to remove damaged outer skin layers, improve texture, fade pigmentation and stimulate skin renewal.
What skin concerns do chemical peels treat best?
Peels address dullness, sun damage, melasma and post-acne pigmentation, fine lines, rough texture, and superficial acne scarring—peel type and depth are matched to each concern for predictable results.
What types of chemical peels do you offer?
We offer light (superficial) peels for glow and maintenance, medium peels (eg. TCA blends) for pigment and texture correction, and medically supervised protocols tailored to skin type and goals.
Who is a good candidate for a chemical peel?
Adults with uneven tone, sun spots, fine lines, or congestion are typical candidates. Darker skin types need careful evaluation to select safe peel strength and reduce pigment-change risk.
How long does a peel session take and how many will I need?
Sessions usually take 20–60 minutes depending on depth and add-ons. Some goals are met with a single peel, while corrective pigment or texture plans often use a series spaced weeks apart.
What is the downtime and recovery like?
Downtime depends on peel depth: light peels have minimal recovery, medium peels produce peeling/redness for several days, and deeper peels require longer aftercare. We provide a clear post-peel care plan to speed healing.
Will a chemical peel cause scarring or pigment changes?
When performed and followed with proper aftercare, serious scarring is uncommon. Pigment changes (hyper- or hypopigmentation) are a possible risk—minimized by proper assessment, conservative strength selection, and sun protection.
How should I prepare for a chemical peel?
Avoid aggressive exfoliants and retinoids for several days before treatment, limit sun exposure, and follow any pre-peel instructions from your clinician (eg. skin-priming regimen if recommended).
How soon will I see results and how long do they last?
Many patients notice brighter, smoother skin after one peel; deeper correction improves over weeks as new skin emerges. Longevity depends on maintenance, sun protection, and ongoing skin care—periodic peels or adjunct treatments maintain benefits.
Can chemical peels be combined with other treatments?
Yes—peels often complement lasers, micro-needling, injectables or topical medical-grade regimens in staged plans to maximize pigment correction, texture improvement and overall skin health.
