Medical-Grade Chemical Peels in Atlanta: High-Performance Resurfacing at Southern Surgical Arts' Midtown Medspa

Urban living is exhilarating—but daily doses of sun, pollution, and blue-light screens can leave skin looking dull, pigmented, or coarse before its time. At Southern Surgical Arts' physician-supervised medspa in Atlanta, our licensed medical aestheticians design bespoke chemical peels that whisk away damaged cells, re-energize collagen, and reveal a vibrant complexion in mere days. Each peel is tuned to your tone, sensitivity, and downtime tolerance.

Schedule your complimentary peel consultation today and discover how effortless it is to trade tired texture for an Atlanta-bright glow.

What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a precisely controlled exfoliation that uses medical-grade acids to dissolve worn-out surface cells, hyperpigmentation, and oil from your skin. Within 24–72 hours, those compromised layers shed, unveiling healthier tissue beneath and igniting wound-healing that deposits fresh collagen and elastin.

At our medspa in Atlanta, peel options range from mild options that leave zero visible peeling to corrective trichloroacetic acid (TCA) blends potent enough to soften acne scars and fine lines. Because every formula and layer count is chosen for your unique concerns—be that melasma, pores, or texture—you enjoy maximized results with minimized risk.

Benefits of a Chemical Peel

One expertly customized session produces a chain reaction of complexion upgrades:

Restores high-definition radiance by removing the light-dulling outer stratum.
Softens fine lines and micro-wrinkles etched by sun and screen glare.
Brightens discoloration, including sunspots, melasma, and post-acne marks.
Unclogs and refines pores to reduce breakouts and visible pore size.
Smooths shallow scars through collagen stimulation and resurfacing action.
Improves overall texture, making foundation optional and selfies filter-free.
Boosts skincare penetration so serums and SPF perform at peak efficiency.
Offers tailored downtime, from no-flake lunchtime peels to deeper five-day renewals.
Pairs flawlessly with injectables or laser modalities for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Sparks confidence, encouraging lighter makeup and on-demand close-ups.

Ideal Candidates for a Chemical Peel in Atlanta

Ideal candidates are healthy adults noticing dull tone, uneven coloration, rough patches, mild scarring, acne breakouts, or early wrinkles. You must commit to strict sun protection after treatment. Recent isotretinoin use, active herpes simplex, or hypertrophic-scarring history may warrant alternative therapies. Pregnant or nursing individuals should postpone any chemical peel in Atlanta until cleared by their physician.

Types of Chemical Peels We Offer

Lactic-Mandelic Radiance Peel

A superficial cocktail that boosts hydration and brightness—perfect before weddings, headshots, or networking events; zero visible flaking.

Jessner's Clarifying Peel

A medium-depth blend of salicylic, lactic, and resorcinol acids to decongest pores, balance oil, and fade early sun damage—ideal for combination or acne-prone complexions.

TCA Renewal Peel

Custom-strength trichloroacetic acid targets stubborn pigment, fine lines, and leathery texture. Expect three to five days of sheet peeling for transformative smoothness.

Custom Peachtree Cocktail Peel

When goals span pigment, scars, and texture, we mix glycolic, kojic, salicylic acids, and pigment inhibitors like hydroquinone or tranexamic acid, tailoring pH, layers, and downtime specifically for you.

What to Expect After Treatment

Immediately post-peel, your skin may appear pink, glossy, or lightly frosted (medium depths). Micro-flaking for mild peels or sheet peeling for deeper formulas starts around day two or three, finishing within a week. Use gentle cleansers, moisture-rich serums, and broad-spectrum sunscreen; avoid picking, sweat-heavy workouts, saunas, and direct heat to protect your fresh layer.

Outstanding Results

Patients often notice a glass-skin glow as soon as peeling subsides, while collagen continues to remodel for weeks, tightening pores and refining texture.

A series of three to six peels spaced three to six weeks apart delivers cumulative clarity and firmness, especially when alternated with microneedling, BBL® photofacials, or injectables.
