Chemical Peels in Boston, MA
Advanced Chemical Peel Treatments for Brighter, Smoother, and Healthier-Looking Skin
Chemical peels in Boston, MA, are designed to improve visible skin concerns through controlled exfoliation and advanced cellular renewal, removing damaged surface layers while supporting collagen production and healthier skin turnover so that the complexion appears smoother, brighter, and more refreshed over time. Boston averages roughly 43 to 48 inches of annual snowfall, and fresh snow reflects up to 80 percent of UV radiation back onto exposed skin, meaning residents walking through the South End, along Commonwealth Avenue, and across the city’s open green spaces accumulate meaningful UV photodamage during winter months when sun protection is rarely considered. That winter UV exposure, layered on top of summer peaks of 7 to 9 on the UV index, builds the kind of pigmentation, uneven tone, and surface roughness that a well-selected chemical peel treatment is designed to clear. Customized options, including BioRePeel® and VI Peel®, address specific concerns, with every plan carefully tailored to your skin condition and aesthetic goals.
Some peels focus on gentle rejuvenation with minimal downtime, while others address deeper pigmentation, acne-related concerns, and visible signs of aging through more intensive resurfacing.
Our Treatments
BioRePeel®
BioRePeel® is a bi-phase chemical exfoliation treatment that combines trichloroacetic acid with amino acids, vitamins, and antioxidants. No neutralization step is required, downtime is minimal, and there is no visible peeling, making it a practical choice for patients who want consistent skin maintenance. It targets hydration, mild resurfacing, and overall skin refreshment.
VI Peel® — Original
The VI Peel® Original is a medium-depth medical chemical peel formulated with TCA, Retin-A, salicylic acid, phenol, and vitamin C. It addresses fine lines, dullness, and mild texture irregularities, with visible peeling that typically occurs over three to seven days as the skin renews.
VI Peel® — Advanced & Precision Formulas
These specialized formulations are developed for patients with specific skin concerns that require a more targeted approach. VI Peel® Precision Plus is designed for hyperpigmentation and melasma, VI Peel® Purify addresses acne and congestion, and VI Peel® Advanced targets deeper anti-aging concerns. The appropriate formula is determined during consultation based on each patient’s skin condition and goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a chemical peel treatment?
This medical-grade resurfacing treatment removes damaged surface skin while encouraging healthier cellular turnover, helping improve tone, texture, clarity, and overall complexion appearance gradually over time.
When will results from an anti-aging peel become noticeable?
Brighter, smoother skin may become visible within several days, while continued resurfacing yields gradual improvements as healthier skin cells replace damaged surface layers.
What is the difference between BioRePeel® and VI Peel®?
BioRePeel® focuses on gentle rejuvenation with minimal downtime, while VI Peel® addresses deeper pigmentation, acne scarring, discoloration, and visible texture irregularities more aggressively.
How long do results from a skin resurfacing treatment last?
Treatment longevity varies depending on skincare habits, sun protection, skin condition, lifestyle factors, and consistency with recommended maintenance chemical peel treatment sessions.
What is recovery like after an anti-aging peel?
Recovery depends on treatment intensity: lighter peels cause minimal downtime, while deeper skin resurfacing treatments may involve temporary peeling, redness, dryness, and mild sensitivity.
What should be avoided after a chemical peel treatment?
