Chemical peels at Omaha’s Elkhorn Dermatology are an effective, non-invasive way to refresh dull skin, improve tone and texture, and reduce signs of aging or sun damage. By removing the outer layers of damaged skin cells, these professional treatments stimulate cellular turnover and reveal smoother, clearer, and more radiant skin beneath.
Whether you’re struggling with acne breakouts, dark spots, melasma, or fine lines, or you simply want to enhance your natural glow, chemical peels can be tailored to your needs and skin type. Performed under expert supervision, these peels deliver safe, gradual results without the need for surgery or extended downtime.
Chemical peels are skin treatments that employ medical-grade acids to exfoliate and trigger regeneration. Depending on the depth of the peel and your skin condition, these time-tested treatments can:
These treatments are safe for most skin types, though patients with sensitive or reactive skin will require special protocols. The team at Elkhorn Dermatology will assess your skin and determine the best chemical peel for your goals and tolerance.
Avoid exfoliants, retinoids, and sun exposure for several days leading up to your peel. A pre-treatment consultation will help tailor your peel based on your skin’s needs and medical history.
A solution is applied to the skin and left on for a designated period, during which you may feel tingling, warmth, or mild stinging. Most chemical peels take 20 to 30 minutes and require no anesthesia.
Depending on the strength of your peel, you may experience redness, dryness, or light flaking for a few days. Stronger peels may cause more noticeable peeling for up to a week. Avoid sun exposure and use gentle, hydrating skincare during recovery.
Results develop gradually as new skin cells emerge, typically becoming more visible within a week. A series of peels may be recommended for optimal improvement.
Our experienced providers offer personalized treatment plans using high-quality, dermatologist-selected peel solutions. We carefully evaluate your skin’s needs, tolerance, and goals to ensure maximum safety and visible results.
Peels can be combined with other treatments like microneedling, facials, or injectables for enhanced outcomes. Whether used for targeted correction or routine skin maintenance, our peels are a key part of a balanced skincare regimen.
