What Are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are skin resurfacing treatments that involve applying a chemical solution to the skin to exfoliate and remove damaged outer layers. This process promotes the regeneration of new, healthier skin cells, resulting in improved skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. Chemical peels can address a variety of concerns, including fine lines, wrinkles, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage.

We offer a selection of customized chemical peels at Nashville Plastic Surgery Institute to suit different skin types and concerns. Our expert team assesses your skin and recommends the most appropriate peel to achieve your desired results.

Our Chemical Peel Options

  • VI Peel: This medium-depth peel combines powerful ingredients to improve skin clarity, texture, and tone. It is effective for treating acne, scarring, hyperpigmentation, and signs of aging with minimal discomfort and downtime.
  • Cosmelan Peel: This specialized depigmentation treatment reduces melanin production and corrects hyperpigmentation issues such as melasma, age spots, and sunspots. It results in a more even and radiant complexion.
  • ZO 3-Step Peel: Developed by ZO Skin Health, this peel involves three steps—exfoliation, stimulation, and calming—to improve skin health and address signs of aging. It exfoliates damaged skin layers, stimulates collagen production, and provides antioxidant protection for long-lasting results.
