Expert Chemical Peels in Princeton, NJ
A chemical peel is one of our most versatile non-surgical cosmetic treatments for skin left rough, blotchy or dull by sun, acne and aging. All peels are supervised by our doctors under Dr. Jamie R. Wisser, MD, FACS, a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon among NY and NJ's top-rated plastic surgeons. Peels can be combined with a facelift for fuller rejuvenation.
How Does a Chemical Peel Work?
An acidic solution removes damaged outer skin layers, revealing fresher skin underneath; formula and strength are customized for every patient. Peels treat fine wrinkles, rough texture, acne and shallow scarring, hyperpigmentation, melasma, sun and age spots, dull skin and sun damage.
Types of Chemical Peels in Princeton, NJ
AHA Peels (Superficial)
Glycolic, lactic or fruit acids treat fine wrinkles, dryness, uneven pigment and mild acne. Professional peels can be applied weekly at moderate strength, with milder formulas for daily home use. Treatment takes 10 minutes or less with no significant downtime, ideal for first-timers and sensitive skin.
TCA Peels (Medium)
Trichloroacetic acid penetrates deeper to treat fine wrinkles, superficial blemishes and pigmentation. Preferred for darker skin tones due to lower hypopigmentation risk, it can be used on the face, neck, chest and back. Treatment takes 10 to 15 minutes, with a brief recovery; multiple sessions are sometimes recommended.
Phenol Peels (Deep)
Our strongest peel treats severe wrinkles, deeply blotchy sun damage and precancerous actinic keratoses, on the face only. A full-face treatment takes one to two hours, with dramatic, long-lasting results; full healing takes several months. A doctor consultation is required first.
Who Is a Good Candidate for a Chemical Peel?
Most healthy adults with sun damage, fine lines, acne marks, uneven pigment or dull skin are good candidates. We review your skin type and goals to choose the right peel. Sun protection afterward helps maintain results, which vary by patient.
Chemical Peels vs. Laser Skin Resurfacing
Both treat wrinkles, pigmentation and texture. Peels are accessible and need minimal equipment; laser skin resurfacing offers more precise depth control for deeper wrinkles and acne scarring. Injection treatments such as BOTOX and dermal fillers complement either option. See results in our photo gallery.
