What Can a Chemical Peel Treat?

Chemical peels are a versatile, non-surgical solution for the face, neck, and hands. Our patients in the Greater Cincinnati area choose peels to address:

  • Aging: Fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity.

  • Pigmentation: Sunspots, age spots, and melasma (the "mask of pregnancy").

  • Acne: Active breakouts, congested pores, and oily skin.

  • Scarring: Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and shallow acne scars.

  • Texture: Dullness, rough patches, and enlarged pores.

Our Featured Chemical Peels

1. The VI Peel® Collection

The VI Peel is a world-class medical-grade peel that is safe for all skin tones (Fitzpatrick I-VI). It is famous for being virtually painless while delivering dramatic results in just 7 days. At Tork Plastic Surgery, we offer the full specialized suite:

  • VI Peel Precision Plus: Our #1 treatment for melasma and sun damage. It targets pigmentation with hydroquinone and kojic acid.

  • VI Peel Advanced: Formulated for aging skin, focusing on fine lines, wrinkles, and stimulating collagen.

  • VI Peel Purify: The ultimate solution for active acne and oily skin.

  • VI Peel Purify Precision Plus: A dual-action powerhouse that clears acne while fading acne scars.

  • VI Peel Original: The perfect "maintenance" peel for overall tone and texture.

2. SkinCeuticals® Professional Peels

As a premier provider of SkinCeuticals in Cincinnati, we offer clinical-grade peels that utilize pure acids (such as Glycolic, Salicylic, and Lactic) to target specific skin sensitivities and concerns. These are excellent for patients looking for a refined glow with minimal social downtime.

The Treatment Experience: What to Expect

Your Consultation

Every journey begins with a professional skin analysis. Dr. Tork or our lead aesthetician will evaluate your skin’s health and determine which peel depth is right for your anatomy and lifestyle.

During the Procedure

The skin is thoroughly cleansed of all oils. The peel solution is then applied in a controlled, layered process. While you may feel a mild tingling or warming sensation, the VI Peel includes a numbing agent to ensure maximum comfort. Most treatments take 30 to 45 minutes.

Recovery and Results

  • The "Peel": For most medical-grade peels, you can expect to begin peeling on day 3, with the process finishing by day 7.

  • Social Downtime: While your skin will be flaking, most patients feel comfortable returning to work immediately, provided they follow our post-care sun protection steps.

  • The Reveal: After one week, the "old" skin is replaced by a smoother, clearer, and more luminous complexion.
