Chemical peels in Clearwater are a transformative solution for various skin concerns. At Clear Skin Dermatology, we offer chemical peels to treat acne, sun damage, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and uneven skin texture, revealing smoother, rejuvenated skin.
Exfoliate and improve
skin texture
Chemical peels are dermatological treatments that improve skin texture and appearance by applying a chemical solution to exfoliate damaged outer layers. This process stimulates cell turnover, revealing fresher, smoother skin beneath. They vary in depth, from superficial to deep, depending on the skin concern being addressed. Superficial peels target mild imperfections, while deeper peels penetrate further to address more severe issues like deep wrinkles or acne scarring, promoting overall skin renewal.
Chemical peels treat:
- Acne and acne scars
- Sun damage and hyperpigmentation
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Rough or dull skin
- Age spots and sunspots
- Melasma

Your chemical peel experience
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation with our experienced dermatologist at Clear Skin Dermatology. They’ll assess your skin type, concerns, and desired outcomes to tailor a peel to your needs. Once the appropriate peel is selected, the treatment begins by cleansing your skin to remove any surface oils and debris, ensuring optimal penetration of the solution.
Next, the chemical solution is carefully applied to your skin, where it works to exfoliate the targeted layers. You may experience a mild tingling or warmth during this process, which is normal. Depending on the type of peel, you may experience some redness, flaking, or peeling in the days following the treatment, but these side effects are temporary and typically resolve within a week. Following post-treatment care instructions provided by your dermatologist will help expedite the healing process, leaving you with smoother, more radiant skin.

Chemical peels FAQs
How do chemical peels work?
Chemical peels work by applying a solution containing various acids, such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta hydroxy acids (BHAs), or trichloroacetic acid (TCA), to the skin’s surface. These acids penetrate the skin and break down the bonds between dead skin cells, promoting exfoliation. As the top layer of skin sheds, it reveals fresh, new skin cells beneath, resulting in a smoother texture and more even tone. Additionally, chemical peels stimulate collagen production, which helps improve skin firmness and reduce wrinkles over time.
How long does it take to see results from a chemical peel?
The timeframe for seeing results from a peel depends on the depth of the peel and the specific concerns being addressed. Superficial peels may result in immediate improvements in skin texture and tone, with optimal results becoming apparent after a series of treatments. Medium and deep peels typically yield more significant results but may require longer recovery times. Most patients notice improvements within a few days to a few weeks.
