Reveal brighter, smoother, younger-looking skin.
At Two Chicks Aesthetics in Port Jefferson, NY, our medical-grade chemical peels exfoliate dull, damaged surface layers to uncover fresher, more radiant skin underneath — safely and effectively customized for your skin type.
What Are Chemical Peels?
A chemical peel is a professional exfoliation treatment that removes the outer layers of dead skin using a gentle, medical-grade acid solution.
Peels help resurface the skin, reduce discoloration, and stimulate collagen for smoother, firmer, more even-toned skin.
We customize every peel based on your skin’s needs, concerns, and sensitivity level — from light brightening peels to deeper corrective options.
How Chemical Peels Work
- Consultation & Skin Analysis – We assess your goals and choose the right peel strength (light, medium, or advanced).
- Application – A solution containing ingredients such as glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, or trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is applied to the skin.
- Controlled Exfoliation – The solution gently removes dead skin cells and triggers cellular turnover.
- Regeneration – As new skin emerges, tone, texture, and clarity are visibly improved.
The process is safe, quick, and minimally invasive.
