Expert Exfoliation: What Is A Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel gently resurfaces the skin by removing the outermost layer of dead or damaged cells. This process reveals a brighter, smoother complexion underneath and helps improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, blemishes, and dullness. By encouraging fresh cell turnover, it leaves your skin looking healthier and more refreshed.
Chemical peels come in varying strengths, each designed to target different concerns—from mild texture issues to deeper signs of aging. During your visit, your provider will assess your skin and recommend the ideal formulation to match your skin type, sensitivity, and treatment goals. It’s a customizable approach to exfoliation that delivers noticeable, glowing results.

Chemical peels are a versatile treatment option for a range of skin concerns, including:
Our Process: Chemical Peels At Coastal Dermatology & Medspa
At Coastal Dermatology & Medspa, we offer a range of chemical peels—from mild exfoliators to more intensive treatments—depending on your skin’s needs and the results you’re aiming for. During your consultation, we’ll take a close look at your skin and talk through your goals to develop a personalized plan.
One of our experienced providers will apply the peel during your appointment. You might notice a light tingling or warming sensation while it’s active, which varies based on the peel’s strength. Once it has done its job, the solution is carefully removed. We use formulations that include glycolic acid and TCA in various concentrations, each designed to deeply exfoliate and target issues like discoloration, fine lines, and rough texture.
Jacksonville’s Top Questions About Chemical Peels
Chemical peels come in different strengths and formulas, making them a flexible option for treating a wide range of skin concerns. They’re a non-surgical solution for those looking to refresh their appearance with minimal downtime, often producing noticeable improvements after just a few treatments.
You may be a strong candidate for a chemical peel if you:
- Have mild to moderate skin laxity or fine lines
- Haven’t recently used Accutane or similar medications
- Struggle with melasma or other pigmentation concerns
- Are free of active infections, open sores, or skin flare-ups
- Have a skin type that responds well to chemical exfoliation
- Are in generally good health and have realistic expectations
- Don’t have a history of keloid formation or scarring issues
While lighter skin tones are generally considered ideal candidates for chemical peels due to the risk of hyperpigmentation, the skilled practitioners at Coastal Dermatology & Medspa can reduce this risk with the right formulation so those with darker complexions achieve excellent results as well.
During your consultation, our skincare experts will evaluate your skin and create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. If a chemical peel isn’t the best fit for you, we’ll work with you to explore other options like laser resurfacing, microdermabrasion, or fillers.
Following your chemical peel, it’s common to notice some redness, dryness, and heightened sensitivity—these are all normal signs that your skin is beginning the renewal process. As fresh skin starts to surface, you may also see some light peeling or flaking. The level of shedding depends on the depth and formulation of your peel.
It’s important to let your skin shed naturally. Trying to speed things up by picking or scrubbing can disrupt healing and may lead to scarring. For lighter peels, the recovery period is usually around three to five days, while deeper treatments can take up to ten. During this time, your skin will be more delicate, so daily sunscreen and sun avoidance are key to protecting your results.

Glycolic acid is highly effective at treating fine lines, acne scars, and discoloration by exfoliating dead skin cells to reveal fresh, clear skin. These peels are available in concentrations of 30%, 50%, and 70%, with the appropriate strength tailored to each patient’s needs for the best results.
Glycolic acid peels are a fast and well-tolerated option, with minimal downtime in most cases. Depending on the concentration used and your skin’s response, you can typically resume your normal routine the same day. To protect your skin and enhance results, limiting sun exposure afterward is essential. A series of treatments is usually the most effective way to achieve lasting improvements.
Our TCA peel is the powerhouse treatment, diving deep to tackle tough skin concerns. With a solid 15% concentration, it works wonders on everything from fine lines and sun damage to stubborn acne scars and pigmentation. It’s tough on stubborn skin issues, but gentle enough to be layered for the best possible outcome.
Post-treatment, you might experience a bit of redness, irritation, or flaking. Don’t stress—it’s totally normal and will fade as your skin starts to work its magic. Just remember to stay out of direct sunlight for the next few weeks while your skin gets a little extra TLC. You’ll start seeing improvements soon, and with just a few sessions, your skin will be looking radiant for the long haul!
