Chemical Peel
Not all peels are created equal, and one peel type doesn’t suit all. That’s why certain ingredients may be more effective for treating hyperpigmentation, while others may be more successful in treating acne or addressing signs of aging. At AcneClinicNYC, we offer light peels and power peels, depending on your skin concern and its severity.

Why We Like Power Chemical Peels at AcneClinicNYC:
At AcneClinicNYC, we’ve performed tens of thousands of peels and stand by their effectiveness in delivering advanced, faster results. Chemical peels are a cornerstone of our treatments because they accelerate exfoliation, promoting quicker pigmentation release and significantly boosting cell turnover. This process activates a cascade of benefits for the skin, including improved post-acne erythema, reduced rosacea symptoms, minimized minor scarring, and enhanced skin rejuvenation.
