Did you know you have five million hair follicles all over your body? Many hair follicles even reside on your face, each of them sprouting from a pore. When your pores get clogged by dirt, bacteria, oil, and dead skin cells, you might experience a pimple.

Shahinaz Soliman, MD uses chemical peels to help patients minimize breakouts and get smoother, touchable skin. When you come in for your appointment, Dr. Soliman thoroughly cleanses your skin to give the chemical peel the perfect healing environment. Next, she applies a chemical solution – usually made of glycolic acid, trichloroacetic acid, and salicylic acid – to encourage cellular turnover.
You might experience a tingling or mild burning sensation for 5-10 minutes, which means the process is working. Dr. Soliman applies a neutralizer to keep your skin safe and might apply some cooling pads to keep you comfortable. Lastly, she applies a moisturizer to your skin and explains the after care process.
The magic of the peel takes place for about two weeks following your appointment. Your skin works to exfoliate itself, shedding layers of old dead skin cells and generating healthy, new skin for a smoother complexion.
Many of our patients pursuing acne treatment need a series of peels to get the results they’re seeking. Although clearer skin is one of the best benefits of getting a chemical peel, it isn’t the only one. Other benefits of a chemical peel include:

This is a great option for patients who’ve never received a peel because of its mild ingredients that provide less downtime and discomfort. Superficial peels are great for those looking to improve skin texture while minimizing discoloration.
Downtime: 7 days or less
For patients mainly concerned with improving acne, we suggest our medium peels, which are made with glycolic acid. The goal of this peel is to exfoliate the mid-layers of your skin to whisk away age imperfections and the buildup of dead skin cells.
Downtime: 7-14 days
If you are looking to improve severe age concerns, scars, or discoloration, a deep peel may be for you. Although dramatic results are experienced with a deep peel, it’s generally more uncomfortable and includes a greater degree of peeling.
Downtime: 2-3 weeks
