Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are medical-grade skin treatments that use carefully selected chemical solutions to improve the tone, texture, and overall appearance of the skin. Chemical peels are not simply cosmetic facials. They are controlled procedures that create a measured injury to the skin, prompting it to shed damaged outer layers and stimulate healthy new skin growth.

A board-certified dermatologist and Mohs surgeon, Dr. Richey is also a Harvard fellowship-trained laser and cosmetic dermatologist. She tailors these treatments to the individual’s skin type, concerns, and goals.

Dr. Richey evaluates the skin carefully before recommending a peel. Not every patient is a candidate for every type. Skin tone, medical history, active skin conditions, medication use, and history of scarring are all considered before proceeding. A thorough consultation ensures that treatment is appropriate and safe.
