Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are an excellent, non-surgical treatment to restore a more vibrant, youthful appearance to the skin. At the practice of Dr. Kaado, we perform our signature Virginia Beach chemical peel using cutting-edge techniques to achieve dramatic improvement in blotchy, sun damaged, or aging skin.
What Are Chemical Peels?
A chemical peel is a procedure involving an acid solution used to remove dead and damaged upper layers of skin. This technique is used to smooth and refine texture and improve the appearance of skin on the face, neck, and hands. The chemical solution applied to the skin causes it to exfoliate and eventually peel off, leaving new, regenerated skin that is smoother, less wrinkled, and more refined.

What Are the Different Types of Chemical Peels and What Benefits Do They Provide?
Chemical peels provide a non-surgical treatment option to restore a more youthful look to aging or sun damaged skin. There a several different types of chemical peels, each with its own unique benefits for the skin.
Superficial Peel
Also known as a “lunchtime peel” or light chemical peel in Virginia beach, this treatment uses alpha-hydroxy acid, or another mild acid, to penetrate only the outer layer of skin. This non-invasive treatment gently exfoliates the skin’s outer layer to remove dead and damaged skin and encourage cell regeneration. A superficial chemical peel can improve acne scars, skin texture, and mild discoloration to refresh the face, neck, chest, or hands.
Medium Peel
In a medium peel, glycolic or trichloroacetic acid is applied to the skin to penetrate the outer and middle layers and remove damaged cells. This treatment can improve fine lines and wrinkles, age spots, freckles, acne scars, and moderate skin discoloration. A medium peel produces more dramatic results than a light peel with no extended recovery time.
Deep Peel
A deep peel uses trichloroacetic acid or phenol to deeply penetrate the middle layer of skin to remove age spots, shallow scars, freckles, and moderate lines. This treatment is only performed once and requires some recovery time. It produces the most dramatic improvement of any type of chemical peel.
MicroPeel
A MicroPeel is an innovative treatment that combines procedures to enhance your results:
- First, dead skin cells are removed in a technique known as dermaplaning. An alpha-hydroxy acid solution is brushed on and allowed to remain on the skin for approximately 10 minutes to exfoliate the skin and prepare it for a chemical peel.
- Next, a chemical solution, carefully and individually tailored for you, is applied to the skin to remove the damaged outer layer and stimulate collagen production. The chemical solution is removed to reveal a fresh new layer of more youthful-looking skin.
- Finally, cryotherapy is performed. This finishing freezing treatment promotes cell turnover, fights bacteria and inflammation, and leaves the skin looking and feeling refreshed.
A Micro-Peel benefits the skin in several different ways. This cutting-edge combined treatment:
- Smooths the skin
- Improves the appearance of photo damage, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles
- Leaves the skin feeling softer and looking more radiant
- Stimulates collagen production for firmer skin over time
- Promotes faster natural exfoliation for a fresher appearance of the skin
Cosmelan Peel
The Cosmelan Peel is one of the most effective depigmentation chemical peels used to reduce or eliminate pigmented spots, brown spots, and other dark spots on your skin. While it’s primarily meant to reduce these dark spots, it also strengthens your skin and gives it a healthy glow. The Cosmelan Peel includes active ingredients that correct hyperpigmentation in all of its forms. Besides reducing the appearance of existing dark spots, the Cosmelan Peel also inhibits new dark spots from occurring.
Mesopeels
Mesopeels facilitate rapid skin cell regeneration through exfoliants that specially target various layers of the skin. This peel removes the uppermost layer of the skin to activate your skin’s natural healing and collagen production response, paving the way for smooth, supple, and youthful skin. It closes all your open pores, improves skin texture, increases skin thickness, lightens pigmented lesions, and reduces the appearance of acne scars.
Skinmedica Peels
Skinmedica peels address all the skin imperfections and textural imbalances caused by years of aging and sun damage. It reverses years of accumulated skin damage, including sunspots, age spots, fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin textures and hyperpigmentation. SkinMedica provides a wide range of chemical peels, such as the Illuminize Peel, Rejuvenize Peel, and Vitalize Peel—from which we will specially select the ideal peel for your specific skin care needs.
Environ Peels
Environ peels are specifically designed to balance the unique physiology of your skin cells. Environ peels resist stripping away excessive skin layers because that strips away your skin’s natural barriers, leaving you vulnerable to environmental pollutants and impurities. Instead, Environ peels gently remove the uppermost horny layer of the skin while preserving the skin’s natural waterproofing barrier. As such, they encourage skin cell regeneration and exfoliation while keeping you hydrated. Environ peels are particularly useful against scars, irregular textures, sunspots, and rosacea.
Vaginal Peel
Vaginal skin usually has a different color and texture from the skin of other parts of the body. Furthermore, different women have differently-colored and textured vaginal skin. However, a vaginal peel is a good solution for women who are self-conscious or uncomfortable with hyperpigmentation in the vaginal region. Vaginal peel uses gentle and non-toxic substances that encourage the uppermost layers of your skin to peel away, revealing brighter underlying skin.
Anal Bleaching
Anal bleaching lightens the skin around the anus, which tends to be darker than the skin in other parts of your body. It’s perfectly natural to have a darker anus, but anal bleaching is a safe option for those who want it beautifully brightened. Chemical peels for anal bleaching usually safely break down the melanin in the anal skin to make it lighter.

You should not have any waxing, laser hair removal treatments or use any hair removal creams one week prior to a chemical peel. Stop using any products that contain retinol, hydroxyl acids, or benzoyl peroxide at least three to four days before the peel. If you have had any recent procedures that have caused your skin to be more sensitive, it is important that you wait until you have completely healed before you have a chemical peel.
Are There Any Preparations That Should be Make Before a Chemical Peel?
Most peels in Virginia do not require any preparation. If you tan regularly, it is important to stay away from the tanning beds or sun exposure for at least three weeks prior to your treatment. Prepare your skin by applying any prescribed lotions Dr. Kaado recommends.
How Do I Care for my Skin After a Chemical Peel?
Recovery time can vary significantly by patient and what type of chemical peel was performed. Some peels are stronger and meant to significantly penetrate the deeper layers of the skin. These can require a longer recovery time. The actual peeling of your skin will last approximately three to seven days depending on the peel’s strength. Let the skin peel off naturally; do not pick or peel off the dead skin. The use of a good UV sunscreen is important as the top layer of your skin has been removed to make way for the new, healthy layer.
