Reveal Brighter, More Refined Skin

Chemical peels are advanced skin resurfacing treatments that use carefully selected acids to exfoliate damaged cells from the epidermis, the skin’s outermost layer. Depending on the peel’s strength, treatment may also stimulate deeper layers of the dermis, where collagen and elastin are produced. Chemical peels in Dallas can improve acne, discoloration, enlarged pores, fine lines, uneven skin texture, and sun damage by accelerating cellular turnover and promoting healthier, smoother skin. Every peel is thoughtfully tailored to your skin type and concerns.

What Do Chemical Peels Treat?

Chemical peels can address a wide range of common skin concerns. Depending on your skin type and treatment plan, chemical peels may improve:

  • Acne breakouts and congestion
  • Acne scarring and post-inflammatory discoloration
  • Fine lines and crepey skin texture
  • Sun damage and age spots
  • Melasma and uneven pigmentation
  • Enlarged pores and excess oil production
  • Rough, dull, or uneven skin texture
  • Early skin laxity and collagen loss
  • Dark marks left behind after blemishes
  • Uneven tone across the face, neck, or chest

Your Personalized Chemical Peel Options

VI Peels

VI peels are advanced medium-depth peels that improve acne, pigmentation, melasma, enlarged pores, fine lines, and uneven texture. These medical-grade peels use a blend of ingredients, including TCA, salicylic acid, retinoic acid, and vitamin C, to stimulate cellular turnover and collagen production. Chemical peels in Dallas using the VI system are especially effective for patients seeking noticeable skin rejuvenation with manageable downtime.

ZO Peels

ZO peels are physician-dispensed skin resurfacing treatments that restore healthier skin function while improving tone, texture, acne, sun damage, and early signs of aging. Options range from lighter “red carpet” peels with minimal downtime to intensive resurfacing protocols that stimulate deeper collagen remodeling. ZO chemical peels are carefully selected based on your skin’s condition, sensitivity, pigmentation patterns, and long-term aesthetic goals.

Your Complete Chemical Peel Experience

Chemical peels are categorized by depth: superficial, medium, and deep.

Consultation

During your consultation, our providers carefully evaluate your skin’s epidermis and dermis, paying close attention to pigmentation, acne, pore size, oil production, texture irregularities, sun damage, and early collagen loss. You’ll discuss your concerns, skincare routine, medical history, and downtime preferences in detail. Based on your tone, sensitivity, and goals, a personalized treatment plan is created to determine the ideal peel type, strength, and frequency.

Procedure

During your chemical peel procedure, your skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove oil, debris, and surface bacteria from the epidermis. Our providers apply a customized chemical solution across targeted areas of the face, neck, or chest using controlled, even techniques. As the peel penetrates the outer skin layers, you may feel warmth, tingling, or mild stinging. The treatment stimulates exfoliation, accelerates cellular turnover, and encourages collagen remodeling.

Recovery

Recovery after chemical peels depends on the peel’s depth and strength. You may experience redness, tightness, dryness, flaking, or visible peeling for several days as damaged skin sheds and healthier skin emerges. Lighter peels may involve little downtime, while deeper peels can require up to seven days of recovery. You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions, including gentle skincare, moisturization, and strict sun protection.

Results

You’ll typically begin to notice brighter, smoother skin within 1 to 2 weeks as peeling subsides and cellular turnover increases. Improvements in pigmentation, pore congestion, and fine lines develop over several weeks as collagen remodeling progresses. The results can last several months, depending on the peel type, your skincare routine, and sun exposure. Many patients maintain their results with a series of treatments and periodic maintenance peels.

Chemical Peels Frequently Asked Questions

How many chemical peel treatments will I need?

The number of treatments depends on your skin concerns, peel depth, and long-term goals. Some patients notice visible improvement after a single treatment, while advanced concerns, such as melasma, acne scarring, or sun damage, often benefit from a series of chemical peels spaced several weeks apart. Maintenance peels may also be recommended throughout the year to preserve brightness, promote smoothness, and stimulate collagen production.

Will my skin peel after treatment?

Peeling varies depending on the type and strength of the peel selected. Some lighter peels cause minimal flaking, while medium-depth treatments, such as VI peels, may result in visible peeling for several days. This process is a normal part of skin renewal. You should avoid picking or prematurely exfoliating the skin during recovery to support smooth, even healing.

Who is a good candidate for a chemical peel?

Chemical peels are suitable for many healthy individuals looking to improve concerns such as acne, uneven skin tone, fine lines, sun damage, or rough texture. A consultation helps determine the most appropriate peel for your skin type and goals.

Can chemical peels be performed on darker skin tones?

Yes. Many chemical peels can be safely customized for a variety of skin tones. Your provider will select the appropriate peel and strength to minimize risks while addressing your specific concerns.

How should I prepare for a chemical peel?

Your provider may recommend avoiding certain skincare products, excessive sun exposure, and waxing or exfoliating the treatment area before your appointment. Following all pre-treatment instructions helps achieve the best results.

When can I wear makeup after a chemical peel?

The timing depends on the depth of your peel. Many patients can resume wearing makeup after the skin has calmed and any active peeling has subsided, following their provider's recommendations.

Can I combine a chemical peel with other aesthetic treatments?

Yes. Chemical peels are often incorporated into a personalized skincare plan and may be combined with other treatments when appropriate. Your provider will recommend the safest treatment schedule for your goals.

How often should I get a chemical peel?

Treatment frequency varies depending on the type of peel and your skin concerns. Some patients benefit from a series of treatments, while others maintain their results with periodic maintenance peels.

How can I maintain my results after a chemical peel?

Maintaining a consistent skincare routine, using daily sunscreen, avoiding unnecessary sun exposure, and following your provider's recommendations can help prolong the benefits of your chemical peel.

I initially chose Dr. Raja for numerous reasons. The most important being that he is board certified, not all plastic surgeons are. I called several different local plastic surgeons throughout the Dallas metroplex and was discouraged either because they weren't board certified, if they were more "popular" they would charge more or I simply just didn't get a good vibe. I am a question asker and a researcher. I really do my homework before I let anyone performe any work anywhere on my body. The last thing I want, or need, is to end up on the TV show "Botched." I also believe you have an intuition for a reason and after meeting with Dr. Raja in person it just felt right. He took his time, was on time (a HUGE pet peeve of mine is respect for my time), and he answered every single question I had. He showed me plenty of photographs and gave his advice on what procedure would work best for my desired result. He is also very meticulous pre-surgery, as well, which some might find "bothersome" or "annoying" but I applaud him for this trait. He made sure all blood work was complete, he reviewed my medical history in detail and made sure I was healthy enough for the surgery. He isn't a doctor that will simply "take the job, to make a buck." If you don't qualify he will turn you away. His work will prove his talent but this, in itself, proves his great character. I now not only have found a wonderful plastic surgeon but a friend as well. I know I can count on him if I ever need him medically for anything in the future. A good doctor can be found anywhere but a great person is just icing on the top.

Dr. Raja Mohan = the best. He is very professional, knowledgeable, caring and any procedure that he performs is not painful. My recovery after my surgery was smooth and fast. Everyone that works at his office is very polite, professional and caring as well.

Dr Raja is amazing! He doesn't seem like one of those surgeons just out to make money. I went in for a consult and he kept it real with me and gave me recommendations based on his extensive knowledge and love for what he does. He patiently answered all my questions and you can tell he genuinely cares about his patients.
