Chemical Peels Treatment
Chemical Peels Treatment
Clinically Proven Skin Resurfacing, Matched to Your Skin Type and Correction Goals at Four Massachusetts Locations
Chemical peel treatment is one of the most clinically proven methods of skin resurfacing, precise, customizable across multiple depths, and capable of addressing a range of skin concerns from surface dullness to hyperpigmentation, acne, and significant textural irregularity. At GFaceMD, medical chemical peel protocols are performed using evidence-based formulations, including BioRePeel® and the VI Peel® range, matched to your skin condition, Fitzpatrick skin type, and recovery availability. The practice offers multiple skin peel treatment options, allowing precise selection of peel depth and formulation to each patient’s concern.
Unlike consumer peels available at pharmacies, GFaceMD’s chemical exfoliation protocols use clinical-grade concentrations of active acids, glycolic acid, salicylic acid, TCA, and proprietary blends in properly buffered formulations designed for safe, predictable resurfacing under medical supervision.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of chemical peels are available at GFaceMD?
GFaceMD offers BioRePeel® for low-downtime maintenance and VI Peel® in multiple strengths. Peel selection is based on your skin condition, Fitzpatrick tone, and the degree of correction you want.Functional medicine focuses on identifying and addressing underlying factors that may contribute to symptoms, such as hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficiencies, and metabolic concerns. At GFaceMD, physician-supervised programs support whole-body wellness while complementing aesthetic goals.
Are chemical peels safe for darker skin tones?
Yes, with the right formulation. GFaceMD providers carefully assess your Fitzpatrick skin type and select peel formulations and concentrations appropriate for your skin tone.
What is the difference between BioRePeel® and VI Peel®?
BioRePeel® is a low-downtime skin peel treatment designed for skin refreshment, hydration, and ongoing maintenance with minimal visible peeling. VI Peel® provides deeper resurfacing for concerns such as hyperpigmentation, acne scarring, melasma, and uneven texture, with more noticeable peeling during recovery.
How long is the recovery from a chemical peel?
Recovery depends on the peel selected. BioRePeel® usually involves minimal visible peeling. VI Peel® typically causes 3–7 days of peeling, dryness, and sensitivity during the active shedding phase. Most patients resume normal activities throughout recovery with appropriate skincare support.
How many sessions are needed for the best results?
A single VI Peel® session produces meaningful improvement. For hyperpigmentation, melasma, and acne scarring, a series of 3 peels spaced 4–6 weeks apart delivers the most significant and lasting outcome. BioRePeel® is designed for monthly maintenance. Your provider will recommend the right frequency at the consultation.
