Chemical Peels in Marstons Mills, MA
Personalized Chemical Peel Care
For Cape Cod patients concerned about dullness, uneven tone, or rough skin texture, chemical peels offer a way to refresh the complexion without surgery. Contemporary Dermatology in Marstons Mills, MA, offers VI Peel and a skin assessment to help you choose a treatment that fits your concerns and recovery preferences.
What Is a Chemical Peel
A chemical peel uses a carefully selected solution to exfoliate surface skin layers. As the skin renews, it may look smoother and more even. Peel depth and formulation influence the benefits, comfort, and healing time, so the right choice starts with an examination rather than a one-size-fits-all treatment.
Chemical Peel Benefits
Depending on your skin and the peel selected, treatment may improve dullness, uneven texture, selected brown spots, fine lines, and some types of acne. Acne-related discoloration and depressed scars need different approaches; your provider can explain whether a peel alone is likely to help.
Types of Chemical Peels
VI Peel is available at our Marstons Mills office. The provider will discuss the appropriate formula for your goals. Other peel categories include Jessner blends and glycolic acid peels, but their availability should be confirmed with our team. A stronger peel is not automatically the right choice, especially for sensitive skin.
Our Chemical Peel Technique
Your visit begins with a review of your skin, medications, recent procedures, and home routine. The skin is cleansed before the selected solution is applied and monitored. Application and removal instructions depend on the product; not every peel is neutralized or washed off in the office. Many appointments take approximately 20–30 minutes, with timing tailored to your plan.
Recovery and Aftercare
Redness, tightness, dryness, and visible flaking can occur. Peeling may continue for several days, and deeper treatments can require longer healing. Follow the supplied cleansing and moisturizing plan, let skin shed naturally, and protect it from sun exposure. Use the sunscreen recommended by your provider; VI Peel aftercare includes SPF 50 protection.

Chemical Peel FAQs
How many chemical peels will I need? A single treatment or a series may be appropriate. Your provider will recommend the number and spacing based on your concern, peel, and response.
Can peels be combined with microneedling? They may be included in a broader plan, but timing matters. Our Pine Hills team will decide whether to separate treatments and allow healing between procedures.
Are chemical peels safe for darker skin tones? Selected peels may be suitable, but pigment changes are a risk. Choose a provider experienced with your skin tone and follow the preparation and aftercare plan.
Will a peel completely remove acne scars? Complete scar removal should not be expected. Treatment depends on whether you have discoloration, shallow texture changes, or deeper scars.
