If the surface layers of your skin are damaged, wrinkled or spotted with discoloration, affected by melasma (red to brown discolorations of the cheeks and nose, frequently associated with pregnancy), or if you have skin growths, active acne blemishes, or acne facial scars, a chemical peel procedure performed by our experienced staff may be the right choice for you.

Depending on the severity of your skin’s issues, your skin type, your schedule and your desired outcome, many options for chemical peels are available. 

●  ALPHA-HYDROXY ACID PEELS   &
    BETA-HYDROXY AICD PEELS  
        – these are our least aggressive, and 
    most popular, chemical peels, as they   
    require almost no recovery time.
    Although these treatments may need 
    to be repeated more frequently than
    the stronger peels, they may achieve
    very similar results without the
    downtime and recovery time. Typically,
    the results are apparent after a few
    days of some mild sunburn-like redness
    and flaking of the skin.

●  TRICHLOROACETIC ACID  – best for peels of a
     medium depth, this peel addresses finer wrinkles
     and blemishes. There is a short recovery time 
     from a trichloroacetic acid peel but you should see
     your fresher, healthier skin in about a week.

●  PHENOL– one of our strongest compounds, providing some of the deepest peels.  Phenol peels are only performed on the face if the skin   type and  tone is appropriate for aggressive treatment. You'll need some recovery time from the anticipated swelling and healing of the skin after this peel.

As many types of chemical peel agents require a physician's prescription for application and administration, Dr. Hausen and Medical Aesthetics of Woodbury® are proud to offer PHYSICIAN-GRADE quality and CONCENTRATIONS of peels which are unavailable at salons, spas, and non-medical facilities.

Our Alphahydroxy acid and Betahydroxy acid chemical peels require no anesthesia and the peel procedures may often be completed in under 30 minutes. Trichloracetic peels and Phenol peels require approximately an hour to complete. 

● Glycolic acid         ● Salicylic acid         ● Lactic acid         ● Trichloroacetic acid      
● Jessner's Solution      ● Modified Jessner's Solution      ● Ultra Jessner's Solution 
● Skin Brightening with Hydroquinone         ● Phenol
