A Derma Peel is a professional chemical exfoliation that uses a customized blend of active ingredients to dissolve the bonds holding dead, dull cells to the surface. The solution stays on the skin for a carefully timed period before it is neutralized or removed. Clearing that top layer speeds cell turnover, encourages collagen and lets fresher, smoother skin show through.
Peels address sun damage and pigmentation, dullness, fine lines, rough texture and the clogged pores behind mild breakouts. In our Merrick clinic, your provider chooses the peel strength and formula for your skin type, tone and goals, starting conservatively and adjusting with each visit so you see steady improvement without more irritation than needed.

What to Expect
Your visit starts with a skin consultation to choose the right peel strength. After a thorough cleanse and degreasing step, the solution is applied evenly; most people feel tingling or warmth that fades once it is neutralized or removed. Most clients resume normal activities the next day, with mild redness and light peeling over two to five days. Keep skin moisturized, avoid picking, pause retinoids briefly and wear sunscreen daily. Clarity typically improves within a week.
