Chemical Peels
Struggling with dull, uneven skin or stubborn blemishes? Reveal a smoother, refreshed complexion with a chemical peel. Triple board-certified Dr. Carey Nease, MD, offers expert chemical peel treatments in Chattanooga, TN, and the surrounding areas, helping patients achieve radiant, revitalized skin and renewed confidence.
What is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a versatile, non-surgical treatment designed to improve and rejuvenate the skin on the face, neck, or hands. It effectively addresses concerns such as acne, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tone, helping patients achieve a smoother, more radiant complexion. At Nease Cosmetic Surgery, we offer a range of chemical peels, including TCA, glycolic acid, and salicylic acid peels, to cater to individual skin needs.
Chemical peels come in three levels: light, medium, and deep. Light peels gently exfoliate using milder acids like alpha-hydroxy acid. Medium peels, utilizing TCA or glycolic acid, remove damaged cells in the outer and middle skin layers. Deep peels penetrate through the middle layer, offering the most dramatic results with TCA or phenol acid. During the procedure, a chemical solution is applied to the treatment area, exfoliating the dead skin layers, which then peel off to reveal fresh, regenerated skin.
If you're considering a chemical peel in Chattanooga, TN, or the surrounding areas of Kimball, Nashville, and Scottsboro, AL, Dr. Carey Nease and the team at Nease Cosmetic Surgery tailor each peel to your skin's unique needs, ensuring transformative and natural-looking results.

Types of Chemical Peels
IN CHATTANOOGA, NASHVILLE AND SCOTTSBORO
Light
Chemical Peel
Using gentle acids like alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), light peels target the outermost layer of the skin to improve texture and tone. These peels are ideal for treating mild discoloration, dryness, and fine lines with minimal downtime. They are perfect for maintaining a glowing complexion with regular treatments.
Medium Chemical Peel
Medium peels penetrate the outer and middle layers of the skin, utilizing trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or glycolic acid to remove damaged cells. These peels effectively reduce the appearance of age spots, fine wrinkles, and moderate skin discoloration. They require a recovery period of up to two weeks for optimal results.
Deep
Chemical Peel
Deep peels use TCA or phenol acid to penetrate deeply into the middle layer of the skin, addressing severe wrinkles, sun damage, and deep scars. Offering dramatic results, this procedure rejuvenates the skin but requires a longer recovery period and is typically a one-time treatment.

Chemical Peels Recovery & Aftercare
Proper recovery and aftercare are essential to achieving the best results from your chemical peel in TN and the surrounding areas. Following your skincare provider’s personalized guidance will ensure a smooth healing process and radiant, long-lasting outcomes. Here are six key aftercare tips to keep in mind:
1
Protect your skin from the sun
Avoid direct sunlight and apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher daily to prevent irritation or pigmentation.
2
Avoid touching or peeling the skin
Allow the treated area to shed naturally without picking at or rubbing the peeling skin.
3
Keep your skin hydrated
Use a gentle, fragrance-free moisturizer to soothe and replenish your skin.
4
Skip harsh skincare products
Avoid retinoids, exfoliants, or any products containing alcohol during recovery.
5
Stay gentle with cleansing
Wash your face with lukewarm water and a mild, non-irritating cleanser to keep the area clean.
6
Avoid excessive heat or sweating
Steer clear of saunas, hot showers, and strenuous workouts for at least a week to prevent irritation.

Am I a Good Candidate for Chemical Peels?
Healthy adults who have light hair and fair skin are the best candidates for chemical peels. If your skin is darker, you may also get good results in treating certain problems. It’s best to set up a complimentary consultation to find out if chemical peels are your best option to help you achieve your desired goals.
What is Chemical Peel Recovery Like?
For a light chemical peel, very little if any downtime is needed. It can take up to three weeks to recover from medium or deep peels. After deep or medium peels, your skin will be red and swollen. Crusts will eventually form and later peel off to reveal fresh, glowing new skin.
You’ll be given post-procedure instructions specific to your treatment plan following your chemical peel. For optimal results and a speedy recovery, read and closely follow those instructions.
