Refine. Rejuvenate. Reset.

Your skin does a lot—it protects, responds, adapts. And over time, it starts to show the wear. Sun exposure, stress, and environmental damage can leave you with dullness, discoloration, fine lines, and uneven texture.

At Brobst Facial Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics in Plano, chemical peels are one of our go-to treatments for resetting the skin and revealing a fresher, clearer complexion underneath. Led by double board-certified facial plastic surgeon Dr. Robert “Bo” Brobst, our team provides custom-tailored chemical peel treatments that go beyond surface-level improvements. Whether you’re targeting acne scars, sun damage, or general skin fatigue, we take a thoughtful, medically informed approach to helping your skin reset and thrive.

What are chemical peels?

A chemical peel uses a specially formulated solution to exfoliate the outermost layers of skin. The treatment stimulates cell turnover and encourages the production of collagen and elastin—the structural proteins responsible for smooth, firm skin. Peels are typically categorized into three levels:

Superficial Peels use alpha- or beta-hydroxy acids to target dullness and texture with minimal downtime.
Medium Peels go deeper into the dermis to address hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and acne scarring.
Deep Peels target deeper wrinkles and advanced sun damage with a longer recovery time, but more dramatic results.

At Brobst, we use a variety of peeling agents, including glycolic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, trichloroacetic acid (TCA), and customized combinations such as the Melanage Skin Brightening System. These active ingredients target pigmentation irregularities, sun-damaged skin, mild scarring, and fine lines and wrinkles by enhancing the skin’s natural exfoliation process. Patients with acne-prone skin or melasma also see significant improvement through medical-grade chemical peels that remove several layers of dead skin cells while stimulating collagen production.

What Can a Chemical Peel Treat?

Superficial Peels use alpha- or beta-hydroxy acids to target dullness and texture with minimal downtime.
Medium Peels go deeper into the dermis to address hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and acne scarring.
Deep Peels target deeper wrinkles and advanced sun damage with a longer recovery time, but more dramatic results.

Am I a Candidate for a Chemical Peel?

If you’re bothered by uneven skin tone, fine lines, or textural changes, you’re likely a good candidate for a peel. Most skin types can benefit, though we do evaluate each patient to avoid unwanted pigmentary changes, especially for those with darker skin tones or underlying skin sensitivities.

During your consultation, we’ll assess your skin condition and medical history, discuss your desired outcomes, and recommend the peel that’s right for your skin and your lifestyle.

Preparation and What to Expect

Before your treatment, we may recommend prepping the skin with medical-grade skincare products to improve evenness and reduce the risk of hyperpigmentation. We’ll also advise avoiding sun exposure, waxing, or other exfoliating treatments in the week leading up to your appointment. The peel itself takes about 30 minutes. Your skin will be thoroughly cleansed, and the solution is applied in controlled layers. You may feel tingling or warmth as the solution works. Depending on the peel’s strength, we may neutralize it afterward and apply a barrier cream or recovery serum. Comfort is a priority. For deeper peels, we may use topical anesthetics or other pain management techniques to keep you relaxed throughout.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery depends on the depth of the peel:

Superficial peels may cause light redness or flaking for 2–3 days.
Medium-depth peels typically involve 5–7 days of peeling and skin sensitivity.
Deep peels can take 10–14 days to fully heal, with careful skin care needed throughout.

We provide personalized aftercare instructions and recommend medical-grade post-procedure skincare to protect your results. Sunscreen is non-negotiable—your skin will be more sensitive to UV exposure after a peel, and we want to protect your investment.

Results You Can See

You’ll notice improvements in tone, clarity, and texture within days of treatment. Deeper peels continue to reveal results over several weeks as collagen production ramps up. Many patients report a brighter, smoother complexion, improved acne control, and a more youthful skin feel. Best of all, results are cumulative. With regular treatments and a good home care routine, you can maintain a healthy, refined glow year-round.
