Chemical Peel

A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure that involves the application of a chemical solution to the skin to remove the outermost layers, promoting skin regeneration and revealing a smoother, more youthful complexion. Chemical peels are designed to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, even out skin tone, and treat various skin concerns such as acne, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage.

There are different types of chemical peels available, including superficial, medium, and deep peels, each targeting different layers of the skin. Superficial peels use mild acids to gently exfoliate the outermost layer of the skin, resulting in a refreshed appearance and minimal downtime. Medium peels penetrate deeper into the skin, addressing more significant skin imperfections and requiring a longer recovery period. Deep peels provide the most dramatic results by targeting the deeper layers of the skin, but they also require the longest recovery time.

At Metropolis, we excel in performing chemical peels due to our expertise, advanced formulations, and customized treatment plans. Our highly skilled specialists have extensive experience in administering chemical peels and possess a deep understanding of the skin’s structure and chemistry. We offer a range of chemical peel options tailored to each patient’s specific needs and skin concerns. With our precise application techniques and selection of appropriate peel solutions, we ensure safe and effective results. Metropolis is committed to patient safety and satisfaction, providing thorough pre-treatment assessments and post-treatment care to optimize the outcomes of the chemical peel procedure.

   I have been going to Metropolis Dermatology for about two years now, and it has been, and continues to be, a wonderful experience. The staff are always friendly, thorough, and welcoming. They make everything run so smoothly, and I appreciate how prompt they are in answering any questions I have.

But the star of the show is Dr. Shauna Higgins! I could spend all day writing about what an incredible physician she is. She is the kind of doctor people wish for. She’s incredibly caring, so attentive, and extremely knowledgeable. At every appointment with her, I walk out feeling seen and heard, and I always leave with a smile on my face.

Prior to coming to her, I was struggling with my skin in many ways, but she has completely fixed all of those issues! If I could have her as all of my doctors, I absolutely would.

   They have snacks, tea, coffee , and  water for you. The staff is very nice and pleasant.  One staff suggested a nice restaurant and bakery . Dr. Higgins  is excellent and has great communication skills. I asked  a few questions and she gladly answered. Some doctors are short and blunt and you don't feel comfortable asking questions.  I'm glad Metropolis is not that type of medical facility . The staff are courteous,  the place is clean and they have snacks!
