A Word from Dr. Husain

“Chemical peels are not one-size-fits-all. I have seen patients who tried an over-the-counter peel and were disappointed, but when we do a professional peel tailored to their skin type and concerns, the results are night and day. The key is choosing the right strength and formulation for your skin, and that is where experience matters.”

What Are Chemical Peels?

A chemical peel is a treatment in which a chemical solution is applied to your skin to exfoliate the outer layers. This process removes dead skin cells, stimulates new cell growth, and reveals smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin underneath. The depth of the peel can be adjusted to address different concerns, from mild surface texture issues to deeper wrinkles and scars.

Dr. Husain has helped patients from Morrisville, Raleigh, and across the Triangle achieve clearer, more radiant skin with customized chemical peels.

Types of Chemical Peels We Offer

Dr. Husain offers a range of chemical peels, each designed for specific skin types and concerns.

Glycolic acid peels are a great option for those with acne-prone skin or uneven texture. Glycolic acid exfoliates dead skin cells and stimulates collagen production, leaving your skin looking brighter, smoother, and more youthful. These peels are often used for mild to moderate concerns.

Salicylic acid peels are ideal for those with oily or acne-prone skin. Salicylic acid penetrates deep into pores to dissolve oil and debris, leading to clearer skin. This peel can also reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and is often well-tolerated by sensitive skin.

TCA peels use trichloroacetic acid to address more advanced concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, and hyperpigmentation. This treatment can leave your skin looking refreshed and rejuvenated, with more dramatic results than lighter peels.

Jessner’s peels contain a combination of salicylic acid, lactic acid, and resorcinol, making them a great option for those with acne-prone or unevenly pigmented skin. This treatment can improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation, as well as reduce oiliness.

Dr. Husain will evaluate your skin and recommend the peel that is right for you.

What to Expect During Your Chemical Peel

The treatment begins with a thorough cleansing of your skin. Dr. Husain then applies the chemical solution, which may cause a mild tingling or warming sensation. The solution is left on your skin for a specific amount of time, then neutralized or removed.

Depending on the depth of the peel, you may experience some redness and peeling over the next few days. Dr. Husain will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results.
