At The Center for Dermatology Cosmetic & Laser Surgery in Mt Kisco, NY, our dermatology team customizes TCA peels, Jessner peels, and advanced skin resurfacing treatments based on your skin type, cosmetic goals, and preferred recovery time.

In addition, many patients combine resurfacing procedures with
Fraxel® laser resurfacing,
RF microneedling, skin tightening,
or HydraFacial® treatments
for more comprehensive skin rejuvenation.
What Is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a skin resurfacing treatment designed to remove damaged outer skin layers and improve skin tone, texture, clarity, and overall appearance.
Depending on the type of peel selected, treatment may help improve mild discoloration, acne scars, rough skin texture, enlarged pores, and visible signs of aging. Furthermore, chemical peels encourage skin renewal and collagen stimulation, which can help restore smoother and healthier-looking skin over time.

- Acne scars
- Hyperpigmentation and melasma
- Sun damage and dark spots
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin tone
- Rough or dull skin texture
- Enlarged pores

TCA Chemical Peel Treatments
TCA peels use trichloroacetic acid to exfoliate damaged skin and improve acne scars, pigmentation concerns, rough texture, and visible signs of aging.
Because TCA peels penetrate more deeply than lighter resurfacing treatments, they are commonly recommended for patients seeking more noticeable skin rejuvenation and collagen stimulation.

- Stimulates collagen production
- Improves rough texture
- Reduces visible sun damage
- Supports smoother skin
Jessner Chemical Peel Treatments
Jessner peels combine ingredients such as salicylic acid, lactic acid, and resorcinol to improve oily skin, acne-prone skin, congestion, and uneven pigmentation.
Additionally, Jessner peels help exfoliate clogged pores while improving skin brightness and texture with relatively minimal downtime.
Benefits of Jessner Peels
- Improves acne-prone and oily skin
- Helps reduce clogged pores
- Improves hyperpigmentation
- Softens mild acne scars
- Brightens uneven skin tone
- Improves rough texture and dullness
Chemical Peels for Acne Scars and Hyperpigmentation
Chemical peels are commonly used to improve acne scars, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, and residual acne discoloration by accelerating skin renewal and supporting collagen remodeling.
For patients experiencing persistent pigmentation concerns or uneven texture, customized resurfacing plans may help gradually improve skin clarity and smoothness over time.
Moreover, many patients combine chemical peels with acne scar treatments, Fraxel® laser resurfacing, and RF microneedling treatments for more advanced collagen stimulation and skin resurfacing improvement.
Chemical Peels for Skin Rejuvenation
In addition to improving acne scars and pigmentation, chemical peels may help soften fine lines, rough texture, dull skin tone, and visible signs of aging caused by sun exposure and collagen decline.
By removing damaged skin cells and stimulating skin renewal, resurfacing treatments help support brighter, smoother, and healthier-looking skin with improved tone and texture.
