Chemical Peels in Fort Lauderdale
Rejuvenate Your Skin with Expert Chemical Peel Treatments
At Thomassen Plastic Surgery in Fort Lauderdale, we offer professional chemical peels to refresh and rejuvenate your skin. Chemical peels use carefully formulated solutions to exfoliate the top layers of skin, stimulating natural collagen production and revealing smoother, brighter, more youthful-looking skin.
What is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel involves applying a chemical solution at varying dilution levels to gently resurface the skin. This controlled exfoliation removes damaged outer layers and promotes new cell growth. The most popular type is the TCA peel (Trichloroacetic Acid peel), which provides safe and effective results for many patients.
Chemical peels are one of the least invasive facial rejuvenation procedures and can be customized to your skin type and concerns.
Benefits of Chemical Peels
Chemical peels improve both the look and feel of the skin. They are commonly used on the face, neck, and hands to address:
-
Acne and acne scars
-
Age spots and sun damage
-
Fine lines and wrinkles
-
Uneven skin tone or pigmentation
-
Freckles
-
Rough skin and scaly patches
-
Depressed scars
-
Overall dull or tired-looking skin
By encouraging new collagen formation, chemical peels help create a smoother, healthier, and more youthful complexion.
The Chemical Peel Procedure
At Thomassen Plastic Surgery, we most often use TCA peels at 25% or 35% strength.

The treatment takes about 15 minutes.
-
After application, the skin begins its natural healing process.

Over the next week, the top layers shed (desquamation), revealing fresh new skin underneath.

Patients use an emollient during recovery to aid healing and minimize irritation.
