If you’re looking for a way to improve your skin’s texture, tone, or appearance, chemical peels are a great option to try.

Dr. Deborah M. Farrell has years of experience helping people address all types of skin concerns. Our trained staff will make sure your chemical peel treatment is adjusted for your skin type at Farrell Plastic Surgery & Laser Center in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania.

How Chemical Peels Work

Chemical peels use a specialized solution to gently exfoliate the outer layers of skin. This process helps remove dead skin cells and stimulates new cell growth. Depending on your needs, peels can be light, medium, or deep, with varying levels of exfoliation. 

Dr. Farrell offers The Perfect 10 Peels, customizable for all skin types to deliver noticeable peeling and results. These medical grade, in-office aesthetic treatments are formulated to deliver the desired results for the motivated patient that wants a peel. Perfect 10 Peels contain a synergistic blend of ingredients that visibly reduce the signs of aging. Each component of the system is formulated with soothing and calming antioxidants to support the pure and effective peeling agents.

A Perfect 10 Peel is an ideal, non-invasive, low-cost alternative for patients seeking fast results with minimal discomfort and downtime. It is specially formulated to be gentle – yet very effective.

Perfect 10 Peel comes in three strengths:

  • Universal: Recommended for sensitive and first time peel patients.
  • Intermediate: Recommended for sensitive to normal skin.
  • Advanced: Recommended for normal to tolerant skin.

Our aesthetician or registered nurse will recommend the right peel for you. The goal is to give you a more youthful and even complexion over time.

What to Expect During and After Treatment

At Farrell Plastic Surgery & Laser Center, your treatment begins with a thorough consultation to determine your skin type and goals. We’ll help to select the chemical peel that is best for your situation, and then get to work.

During the procedure, we apply the chemical solution to your skin, where it exfoliates and renews the surface. You may feel a mild tingling or warming sensation that subsides quickly. Most treatments are completed within 40 minutes, making it a convenient option for busy schedules.

After your peel, it’s normal for your skin to feel slightly sensitive as it heals. Depending on the depth of your peel, you might experience some peeling or redness for a few days. You will be provided with aftercare instructions, such as using moisturizer and sunscreen, to protect your skin.
