Physician chemical peels in Toledo are non-surgical, skin resurfacing procedures that use a specific medical acid solution to remove the damaged or aged outer layers of the skin and stimulate the growth of new cells.

The body will then generate new skin cells that will replace the removed outer layers resulting in improved and more youthful texture and tone of the skin, a reduction in excess pigmentation and, with some peels, lowering skin cancer risk by removal of cancer-prone and sun-damaged skin cells. Physician chemical peels require more training and are performed by your plastic surgeon and generally are deeper than aesthetician peels.

Chemical peels by an experienced physician like Dr. Frank Barone can remove damaged skin, stimulate new cell growth, improve circulation, and even lower skin cancer risk. At EVOLV Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics, our expert team uses advanced techniques to safely treat fine lines, discoloration, and sun damage for a healthier, more radiant complexion.

Investing in a peel isn’t about vanity—it’s about confidence and skin health. Each treatment helps turn back signs of aging while strengthening your skin against future damage. When performed by skilled professionals, results go beyond the surface—they’re life-enhancing.

THE PROCEDURE

What It Is

Aging, sun damage, smoking, and other factors can result in the loss of the youthful and healthy features of the skin in addition to increasing sun-related skin cancer risk. Despite remarkable advances and improvements in education and medical skin care products and treatment options, previous sun exposure, smoking, and aging can result in significant loss of youthful and healthy skin characteristics as well as an increased risk of skin cancer. Although there are many effective and clinically proven options for reducing previous skin damage and the signs of aging, deeper chemical peeling by an experienced and qualified physician such as Dr. Frank Barone can remove much of the damaged and aged surface and stimulate the growth of youthful baby ‘cells’ and improved circulation to rejuvenate a healthy complexion as well as lower skin cancer risk.

How It Works

Facial peels are non-surgical procedures designed to resurface the skin. An experienced physician applies a carefully chosen acid solution to exfoliate the outer layers of the skin, encouraging the growth of new, healthy cells below. The process not only revitalizes skin tone and texture but also addresses specific skin concerns like pigmentation, scars, and fine lines, ultimately supporting a brighter, healthier appearance.

What It Treats

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Sun damaged and aged skin
  • Irregular skin pigmentation and excess pigmentation or ‘sunspots’
  • Superficial and acne scars
  • Rough skin, scaly patches, and pre-cancerous skin lesions known as actinic keratoses
  • Facial peels offer a comprehensive treatment solution tailored to a variety of skin concerns, helping to restore a smoother, more refined complexion. They are particularly effective for individuals seeking to reduce the appearance of sun damage and discoloration, rejuvenate areas with uneven skin texture, or address stubborn scars. With customizable options for depth and strength, physician chemical peels cater to a wide range of skin types and conditions, all while promoting healthier skin regeneration. Whether tackling subtle imperfections or more pronounced issues, facial peels provide remarkable improvements to skin health and aesthetics.

Benefits

  • Renewed Cells

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if physician chemical peels in Toledo are best for me?

There are many resurfacing options, such as laser, Renuvion J-Plasma, micro needling, and Genius RF micro needling (links for all) for addressing aging or damaged skin changes of the face and neck and restoring more youthful healthy skin. Finding honest and accurate information can be challenging at best for patients with cosmetic concerns. It is therefore extremely important for each patient to find a qualified and experienced professional that can be trusted to educate and inform transparently on the optimal aesthetic procedure and plan that is best to achieve not only their aesthetic goals but also respect their budget and tolerance for recovery time. When these priorities are met, for the appropriate patient, deeper physician chemical peeling can provide beautiful and youthful skin surface on its own or when combined with other aesthetic surgical procedures, enhance overall results with a comprehensive rejuvenation.

Will chemical peeling make my skin thin?

This is a common misconception but a properly done peel will increase skin thickness and tone. In addition to removing the outer damaged skin cell layer, the EVOLV peels stimulate new and increased growth from below of collagen, elastin, hyaluronic sugars, circulation, and the youthful components of healthy, young skin.

Can I improve signs of aging in the face and neck without deeper chemical peeling?

EVOLV Plastic Surgery and Medical Aesthetics offers many state-of-the-art non-surgical resurfacing options in addition to physician chemical peels in Toledo that can reduce the signs of aging and sun damage. EVOLV’s skin care treatment programs consist of a pre-treatment preparation period with a personalized skin care regimen, then after preparation the resurfacing treatment, and finally a post-treatment maintenance program which is essential to keeping and even enhancing the result. Your EVOLV skin care professional and physician will assist you in determining your best option based on costs, downtime tolerance, and goals.

How much does the physician chemical peel procedure usually cost?

Chemical peel costs will depend on many factors including the extent and area treated, peel depth, and whether or not other procedures are planned such as combined surgery or fat grafting, the type of anesthesia, and facility. It is important to remember that the costs include not only the procedure itself but also all post-treatment care, and this can be more prolonged with deeper peels. Optimal results and safety require consistent and conscientious post-care.  You will be provided with a specific and itemized surgical quote from our EVOLV Patient Coordinator explaining and detailing all related costs.

How do I determine if the physician chemical peel procedure is worth it?

This is a common question and one that must be carefully considered. When it comes to elective aesthetic procedures, informed patients make decisions based on three primary considerations: cost, downtime and, most importantly results. Therefore, it is so essential for each patient to find a qualified and experienced board-certified plastic surgeon that provides unbiased information and in whom they can trust. Price shopping frequently leads to unfavorable outcomes, complications, and expensive revisional procedures. The EVOLV physician peel programs improve the quality and youthful features of the skin and can lower skin cancer risk. Improving skin quality enhances the outcome of any other aesthetic or cosmetic surgery which is a significant additional benefit that patients particularly enjoy.

What is the expected recovery time after a physician chemical peel?

Recovery or downtime after chemical peel resurfacing will depend on the depth of the treatment and if applicable, the number and extent of accompanying procedures and therefore must be individualized. It is helpful to remember that ‘recovery’ is a process and goes thru stages. At EVOLV Plastic Surgery we have found that preparing and restoring optimal skin health with a personalized medical skin care program as well as extensive patient pre-operative teaching and education, specific supplements for healing, in addition to post-operative lymphatic and sound wave massage, and LED phototherapy can significantly reduce downtime and improve healing for chemical peel resurfacing as well as any aesthetic treatment. Our professional staff will review expected recovery times with you to assist with your post-procedure planning.

How long does the skin improvement with physician chemical peeling usually last?

Chemical peel results and longevity are very much affected by numerous factors. These include patient age and genetics, pre/post treatment overall health and lifestyle, peel depth, and the type of medical acid used, and most importantly, post-treatment skin care and aesthetic maintenance services. In our experience, a personalized medical skin care program, along with aesthetic maintenance treatments and practicing healthy lifestyle habits can extend youthful results far longer than traditional peels or other skin treatment procedures.

How do I know which chemical peel is right for me?

There are a wide variety of chemical peels available at EVOLV ranging from very light ‘invisible’ peeling (ZO Enzymatic Peel and Acceleration Exfoliator (link)) with no downtime, moderate depth aesthetician peels (ZO 3 Step Peel) (link), and very deep physician peel treatments ( ZO Controlled Depth Peel and Modified Phenol Peel) (link) which have much longer downtimes but give the maximal correction and rejuvenation. The EVOLV medical aestheticians perform a variety of the light and moderate depth peels in the office while the deeper physician peels may be done in the office procedure room or, when the peel is combined with an aesthetic surgical procedure, in the outpatient facility under a light anesthetic. Peel selection will depend on the degree of aging and sun damage and the individualized goals of each patient. Dr. Barone and the EVOLV nurses and aestheticians have extensive experience and advanced training in each peel option as well as advanced skin care.

Are facial peels safe for sensitive skin?

We offer peels suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin. Our expert team will personalize your treatment for the best outcomes.

Can facial peels treat acne or acne scars?

Absolutely. Chemical peels can be highly effective in reducing acne and smoothing acne scars by removing damaged skin layers and promoting the growth of healthy, new skin.

What should I avoid after a facial peel treatment?

After a facial peel, it’s crucial to avoid direct sun exposure, harsh skin care products, and picking at the peeling skin. Use sunscreen daily and follow the post-treatment care routine provided by your provider to ensure optimal healing and results.

How soon can I see results after a facial peel?

Results vary depending on the type of peel. Light peels can show noticeable improvement within a few days, while deeper peels may take a few weeks for the full benefits to appear as the skin regenerates. Typically, noticeable improvements begin to show as your skin heals, with optimal results appearing after a few weeks.

Do facial peels help reduce fine lines and wrinkles?

Yes, facial peels are highly effective in reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. By promoting new cell growth and stimulating collagen production, they help smooth the skin’s texture and restore a more youthful appearance.
