Which Chemical Peel Is Best For You?

Henry D. Sandel IV, MD, FACSDouble board-certified facial plastic surgeonOctober 2016 · Updated November 2026

It depends on your skin concern. A VI Peel, applied by our medical aestheticians, treats dullness, pigment, fine lines and acne with a few days of peeling; a deep 35% TCA peel, performed by Dr. Sandel on the neck and chest, treats extensive sun damage. Your medical aesthetician and Dr. Sandel recommend the right peel together.

Rosacea

Is the skin on your face looking dull, aged by the sun, do you have fine lines or acne scars? Do you suffer from hyperpigmentation that makes you feel self conscious? A cosmetic peel may produce the fresh faced results you are seeking. Cosmetic peels remove dead and dry layers of skin leaving behind a youthful radiant glow.

West Annapolis Medical Spa, part of Sandel Duggal Plastic Surgery, offers chemical peels in Annapolis, MD. These peels can give you smoother, brighter-looking skin. Our medical aestheticians and Dr. Henry Sandel work together to recommend the peel that suits your skin.

VI Peel

A popular chemical peel, the VI peel is a highly effective blend that can improve skin texture and tone. The VI peel can reduce the appearance of age spots, hyperpigmentation, freckles and acne. By stimulating the product of collagen and elastin in your skin the VI peel can result in firmer, glowing skin.

Deep 35% TCA Peel

For extensive sun damage on the neck and chest, Dr. Sandel performs a deep 35% TCA peel in surgery, under anesthesia, with seven days or more of downtime. On the face, he typically uses CO2 laser resurfacing instead.
