Northstar Dermatology offers medical-grade chemical peels for patients throughout Fort Worth at different strengths and concentrations to address hyperpigmentation, discoloration, uneven skin tone and texture, acne, and visible signs of aging.
Chemical peels exfoliate and resurface the outer layers of the skin, helping promote a brighter, smoother, and more even complexion. Your dermatology provider will recommend a peel based on your skin type, concerns, and treatment goals.
VI Peel is a medium-depth chemical peel designed to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity with limited downtime.
This medical-grade peel combines ingredients including TCA, retinoic acid, salicylic acid, and vitamin C to target concerns such as:
For Fort Worth patients dealing with pigmentation or visible sun damage from years of North Texas exposure, your provider can recommend an appropriate peel strength while considering skin type and the risk of post-inflammatory pigmentation.
Patients interested in other resurfacing options can also learn more about microneedling.
Chemical peels are performed in the office by trained cosmetic providers. Before treatment, your provider will evaluate your skin, discuss your cosmetic concerns, and recommend the most appropriate type and strength of peel.
Once you are positioned comfortably, the chemical solution is applied to the skin in controlled layers. Additional layers may be added depending on the peel and your tolerance.
During treatment, you may feel tingling, stinging, or a mild burning sensation as the solution works on the outer layers of the skin. Afterward, the peel may be neutralized or post-treatment products may be applied, depending on the formulation used. Temporary redness can occur after treatment, and stronger peels may cause visible peeling and require some downtime.
A series of chemical peels may be recommended for persistent acne scarring, pigmentation, or conditions such as melasma. Northstar Dermatology also offers a full range of cosmetic dermatology services for patients interested in additional skin rejuvenation options.
