FAQs
What is the face peeling treatment?
Skin peels, sometimes known as chemical peels, can repair damage caused by aging, pigmentation, scars, acne, and the sun. They accomplish this by using an acidic solution on the skin, which leads to the shedding of its outer layers. This process reveals new skin underneath, which has a better tone, texture, and color than before. The way these solutions work depends on the type you choose: alpha-hydroxy acids (fruit-derived), beta-hydroxy acids (using salicylic acid), trichloroacetic acid, or phenol. Aleta Sloan of United Medical and Aesthetics will be able to help you select one that’s right for your needs and determine how many treatments will be needed based on your individual circumstances.
What can skin peels treat?
Most patients who choose skin peels are looking for the treatment of:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Acne scarring
- Pigmentation and dark spots
- Overall skin rejuvenation
- Skin imperfections
- Sun-damaged skin
- Skin texture and tone
Who is a proper candidate for skin peels?
The best candidates for this treatment are those who have otherwise healthy skin but need to address imperfections and the signs of aging. By removing the top layer of dead cells from the skin, this process allows for new cells below to take their place and delivers a significant enhancement in the look and condition of the skin. During a consultation appointment, Aleta Sloan and her team will evaluate a patient’s skin and determine if they are a suitable candidate for this or other skin treatments available at the office.

How often should I get a skin peel?
The ideal frequency for skin peels depends on your skin type, the depth of the peel, and your desired outcome. For light peels, many patients schedule treatments every four to six weeks as part of their ongoing skincare routine. Medium peels are typically performed every few months, while deeper peels may only be needed once or twice a year. Regular treatments help maintain a smoother texture, clear pores, and even tone. Consistency also enhances long-term collagen stimulation and cell turnover. During your consultation, your provider will create a personalized plan that outlines how often you should come in to keep your results fresh and your skin glowing year-round.
How long will it take to see results from a skin peel?
Many patients notice their skin feeling smoother and looking more radiant within just a few days of treatment. Superficial peels typically show visible results as the skin gently sheds old cells and reveals a fresher layer beneath. Medium-depth peels may take up to a week for exfoliation to complete, after which tone and texture noticeably improve. For deeper concerns like wrinkles, scarring, or uneven pigmentation, a series of peels may be recommended. Each session builds on the last, promoting collagen growth and long-term renewal. With consistent care, daily sun protection, and hydration, results continue to refine and leave the skin looking brighter, healthier, and more youthful over time.
