Chemical peels use precisely formulated acid solutions: alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), trichloroacetic acid (TCA), or phenol, to dissolve the bonds between damaged skin cells, triggering controlled exfoliation and skin renewal.
Medical-grade peels are significantly more concentrated than spa or over-the-counter peels, delivering measurable clinical results. The depth of peel is matched to your skin concerns: superficial peels for maintenance and glow, medium peels for pigmentation and texture, and deep peels for significant sun damage.
Men's skin is approximately 25% thicker than women's and tends to be oilier and more resilient. This often means men can tolerate and benefit from stronger peel formulations, with more dramatic results and faster recovery than women experience.
All peels at Body Symmetry MD are physician-selected based on your Fitzpatrick skin type, specific concerns, and lifestyle (downtime tolerance). We never use a one-formula approach.
