At Coco Dermatology & Cosmetics we are committed to providing advanced, results-driven skincare treatments in a warm and personalized setting. One of the most effective solutions we offer for rejuvenating and restoring skin health is chemical peels—a non-surgical, customizable approach to treating a range of skin concerns.
Chemical peels can dramatically improve the appearance of acne, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, fine lines, and even precancerous skin conditions like Actinic Keratosis. By stimulating cell turnover and boosting collagen production, chemical peels help reveal smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin.
Our expert team carefully selects the appropriate peel for your individual skin type and goals, ensuring safe, effective, and beautiful results. We offer a curated menu of peels designed to treat everything from sensitive skin and early signs of aging to deeper concerns like scarring and uneven texture.
Chemical Peels
Jessner’s Peel
Type: Medium-depth peel
Ideal For:
- Dull, weathered skin
- Sun damage and freckling
- Hyperpigmentation
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne and post-inflammatory marks
Jessner’s Peel is a time-tested formulation that blends lactic acid, salicylic acid, and resorcinol to effectively exfoliate the upper layers of skin. This peel stimulates collagen and elastin production, leading to smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin. Patients typically experience mild downtime, with redness and peeling that resembles a light sunburn, lasting approximately 4 days.
Post-Treatment Care:
- Avoid sun exposure during healing
- Use gentle cleanser and moisturizing ointment
- Refrain from wearing makeup for at least 2 days
TCA Peel (Trichloroacetic Acid Peel)
Type: Medium to deep-depth peel
Ideal For:
- Advanced sun damage
- Fine lines and shallow wrinkles
- Acne scarring
- Hyperpigmentation and age spots
TCA Peels utilize trichloroacetic acid in varying concentrations to penetrate deeper into the dermis, making them highly effective for skin resurfacing and regeneration. This peel significantly boosts collagen and elastin synthesis, improving skin texture, tone, and overall appearance. Due to its depth, patients should expect more noticeable downtime, including redness, peeling, and tightness akin to a severe sunburn lasting 7 to 10 days.
Post-Treatment Care:
- Strict avoidance of sun exposure
- Use of antibiotic ointments and gentle skincare products
- No makeup application for 7–10 days post-procedure
Mandelic Acid Peel
Type: Superficial peel
Ideal For:
- Sensitive or rosacea-prone skin
- Mild to moderate acne
- Hyperpigmentation and melasma
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Enlarged pores and oiliness
Derived from bitter almonds, the Mandelic Acid Peel is a gentle yet effective option for individuals with delicate or reactive skin types. Its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties make it particularly suitable for treating acne and rosacea while also improving overall skin clarity. The peel promotes gradual exfoliation, resulting in smoother, more refined skin without significant irritation.
Downtime and Recovery:
- Minimal redness with light, gradual peeling over 3–4 days
- Safe for regular use in a treatment series
- No major restrictions, though sun protection is recommended
