What Are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels are professional skin‑rejuvenation treatments designed to gently remove dull, damaged skin cells and reveal a brighter and more even‑toned complexion. By applying a carefully formulated chemical serum to the skin, the ingredients exfoliate the outer layers where signs of aging, sun exposure, and congestion often accumulate. As the skin renews itself, you’ll notice improvements in fine lines, acne scars, discoloration, rough texture, and overall tone.
At Palm Beach Skin & Hair Restoration, Dr. Leena Ramani offers a range of peel strengths from light, surface‑level exfoliation to deeper corrective peels, allowing each treatment to be customized to your unique skin concerns and goals. Every peel is performed with your safety in mind and with a personalized approach, ensuring effective results. With consistent treatments, chemical peels can help restore clarity, smoothness, and a refreshed glow that reflects healthy, revitalized skin.
What Are the Different Types of Chemical Peel Options?
At Palm Beach Skin & Hair Restoration, Dr. Leena Ramani offers a comprehensive range of PCA SKIN chemical peels. PCA SKIN peels are a variety of medical‑grade treatments known for their safety, effectiveness, and customizable formulations. Each peel is designed to target specific skin concerns, allowing Dr. Ramani to tailor your treatment based on your skin type, sensitivity level, and aesthetic goals. Any treatment that targets hyperpigmentation requires consistent SPF use at home to maintain results.

Chemical Peels for Brighter Skin
Bright & Even Peel
The PCA SKIN Bright & Even Peel is a gentle professional chemical peel that brightens and resurfaces the skin to enhance the appearance of skin tone, texture, and visible brightness. It contains mandelic and lactic acid, two Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) that have a larger molecular size, meaning they penetrate the skin more slowly and lead to less irritation.
Key Benefits:
- Increase in visible skin brightness after just one peeling session
- Increases skin glow and radiance
- Brightens and resurfaces to enhance the appearance of skin tone and texture
- Smooths skin texture in just one peeling session
Chemical Peels for Wrinkles
Ultra Peel
The PCA SKIN Ultra Peel is specially formulated to treat maturing skin. It contains trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and lactic acid to help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while promoting an even skin tone and clear complexion. TCA is a potent superficial and medium-depth peeling agent that helps minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and acne scarring. It also contains alpha-lipoic acid, milk thistle extract, and emblica as soothing antioxidants.
Key benefits:
- Reduces dark spots and other forms of discoloration
- Promotes an even skin tone and clear complexion
- Improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
Chemical Peels for Hyperpigmentation
Pigment Correct Peel
The PCA SKIN Pigment Correct Peel is a professional peel that corrects all types of visible hyperpigmentation on all skin types. A patent-pending approach to peel formulation, Multi-Acid Synergistic Technology combines ingredients that target hyperpigmentation and deliver higher efficacy with less irritation than single-acid formulations. Lactic, mandelic, and pyruvic acids exfoliate and lift existing visible hyperpigmentation while inhibiting melanin production. Tranexamic acid (TXA) slows the production of melanin. Milk thistle extract supports the skin barrier and reduces skin inflammation that leads to future visible hyperpigmentation.
Key benefits:

Good Candidates for Chemical Peels in Palm Beach, FL
Chemical peels are a versatile and effective treatment option for many individuals looking to refresh and rejuvenate their skin. Thanks to modern, advanced formulations, chemical peel treatments can be safely customized for a range of skin types, including sensitive and darker skin tones that previously required caution.
You may be a good candidate for a chemical peel if you want to improve:
- Fine lines and early signs of aging
- Acne and acne scarring
- Sun damage and pigmentation
- Uneven skin tone or texture
- Dullness or congestion
Because chemical peels come in varying strengths and formulations, Dr. Ramani will tailor your treatment to your specific concerns, comfort level, and skin sensitivity.

Chemical peels are generally not recommended for pregnant or nursing women, individuals experiencing severe acne breakouts or open lesions, those with active infections, severe eczema, or uncontrolled rosacea.
If you do use retinoids or other exfoliating agents, Dr. Ramani may advise discontinuing them for 7 to 14 days before your peel to minimize irritation and ensure optimal results. During your consultation, Dr. Ramani will carefully evaluate your skin, review your medical history, and determine whether a chemical peel is the safest and most effective option for you.

How Are Chemical Peels Performed at Palm Beach Skin & Hair Restoration?
Every chemical peel treatment is designed for you with precision, comfort, and personalization in mind. Your experience begins with a thorough consultation with Dr. Leena Ramani, who will evaluate your skin type, listen to your concerns, and recommend the PCA SKIN peel formulation best suited to your goals.
- Step 1: Skin Preparation: You will be asked to arrive with a clean face, free of any makeup or sunscreen. Gentle facial cleansers are available in the office to remove any remaining products if needed. Before your peel begins, your skin will be gently prepped to remove oils and surface impurities. This step allows the chemical solution to penetrate evenly and enhances the overall effectiveness of the treatment.
- Step 2: Application of the Chemical Solution: Once your skin is prepped, Dr. Ramani applies the selected chemical peel in carefully controlled layers. You may feel a mild tingling, warmth, or tightening sensation as the solution begins to exfoliate the outer layers of your skin. Throughout the process, your skin’s response is closely monitored to ensure optimal results and comfort. A fan will be provided to ensure comfort between layers.
- Step 3: Neutralization or Removal: Depending on the type of peel used, the solution may be left on the skin, neutralized, or gently removed after the appropriate amount of time. Chemical peels vary in their application methods, and Dr. Ramani will determine the correct protocol based on your specific treatment.
- Step 4: Soothing and Protection: After the peel, calming and hydrating products are applied to support the skin’s healing process and reduce any temporary sensitivity. These post‑treatment products help lock in moisture and protect your freshly exfoliated skin. Sunscreen will be applied as the final step to protect your freshly treated skin from the sun.
- Step 5: Aftercare Guidance: Dr. Ramani will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help you achieve the best possible outcome. This may include avoiding direct sun exposure, using gentle skincare products, staying well‑hydrated, and applying sunscreen daily. You’ll also receive guidance on what to expect in the days following your peel, such as mild flaking or peeling, depending on the depth of your treatment.
Chemical Peel Recovery
Recovering from a chemical peel is a gradual process that allows your skin to renew itself and reveal a healthier complexion. It’s normal for your skin to feel warm, tight, or slightly sensitive, similar to a mild sunburn, immediately after your treatment is complete. Dr. Ramani will apply soothing, hydrating products before you leave and provide personalized aftercare instructions to support a smooth healing experience.
It is normal not to have “peeling” after a gentle chemical peel. Within the first couple of days, you may begin to notice light peeling or flaking as the outer layers of treated skin naturally shed. This is an expected part of the process and a sign that your peel is working. Keeping your skin well‑moisturized is essential during this stage to minimize dryness and support healthy healing.
Your skin will be more sensitive to the sun following a chemical peel, so diligent sun protection is crucial. Dr. Ramani recommends:
- Avoiding direct sun exposure when possible
- Wearing a broad‑spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher
- Using hats or protective clothing when outdoors
Makeup should be avoided until your skin has healed enough to tolerate it comfortably. Stick to gentle, non‑irritating skincare products and avoid exfoliants, retinoids, or any harsh ingredients until cleared by Dr. Ramani. As peeling subsides, you’ll begin to see smoother, brighter, and more even‑toned skin emerge. This new skin may remain sensitive for a short time, so continue your aftercare routine. Over the next one to two weeks, you’ll notice ongoing improvements in texture, clarity, and radiance.

Chemical Peels FAQs
How long does a chemical peel appointment take?
Most chemical peel treatments at Palm Beach Skin & Hair Restoration take 20 to 30 minutes, depending on the type of peel selected and the number of layers applied. This makes chemical peels a convenient option for anyone looking for noticeable skin rejuvenation without a lengthy appointment time.
How often should I get a chemical peel for the best results?
The ideal frequency varies based on your skin concerns and the strength of the peel chosen during your treatment plan. Many patients benefit from an initial series of 3 treatments scheduled 4 to 6 weeks apart, while deeper peels may require more time between sessions. Dr. Ramani will recommend a personalized treatment plan during your consultation.
Do chemical peels help with acne and active breakouts?
Certain peels, like those formulated with salicylic acid or antibacterial ingredients, can help reduce acne, unclog pores, and minimize future breakouts. While active, inflamed acne may need to calm down before treatment, and patients should have any open sores, chemical peels are an excellent long‑term option for managing acne‑prone skin.
Can chemical peels be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Chemical peels can be safely paired with other aesthetic treatments such as neurotoxins or microneedling, depending on your skin’s needs and timing. Dr. Ramani will help you determine the best combination approach to maximize your results while protecting your skin’s health.
Will I need to change my skincare routine before or after a chemical peel?
Most patients are encouraged to make temporary adjustments to their routine, like putting a pause on their retinoids, exfoliants, or strong actives before treatment and using gentle, hydrating products afterward. Dr. Ramani provides customized pre‑ and post‑care instructions to ensure your skin heals properly and your results look their best.
