Don’t limit your skin care to your face and neck! The rest of your body can also experience the benefits that a chemical peel provides your face.
Chemical peels exfoliate the surface of the skin, causing the skin cells to turn over and encouraging healthy skin cells in deeper layers of the skin to make their way to the surface, revealing smooth, glowing skin.
Body peels come in varying degrees of depth and can be utilized for any skin condition, even if you have sensitive skin. Once you’ve had a consultation with one of the professionals at Esthetica MD under the guidance of Dr. Rabkin, the best chemical peel or combination of peels will be recommended to thoroughly address your skin concerns, needs and desires.
Conditions Addressed by Body Peels
A body peel can address multiple skin concerns including but not limited to the following:
- Extremely dry skin and uneven rough patches on knees, elbows or other areas
- Hyperpigmentation or melasma caused by acne or acne scars , sun exposure or hormonal imbalances
- Body acne, common on your back, arms and torso
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Whiteheads and blackheads
- Oily skin or combination skin
Types of Chemical Body Peels
Chemical Peels are excellent for treating acne on the body. Salicylic acid helps unclog pores of excess oil and dead skin cells along with killing the acne-causing bacteria that can lead to post-breakout pigmentation.

Body acne
The skin on your chest may show fine lines and wrinkles because it’s thinner than the skin on other parts of your body and because it’s often exposed to environmental conditions. Glycolic acid smooths these lines and wrinkles and brightens any dullness.

Chest wrinkles
Knees, elbows, palms and heels often develop rough, scaly areas from excess dry skin. Lactic acid peels remove rough, dead skin and expose the new, healthy, smoother skin underneath.

Dark spots
If you have had copious amounts of sun exposure then you have hyperpigmentation on various parts of the body. A peel incorporating hydroquinone or mandelic acid lightens these dark spots and freckles, returning your skin to a more uniform and clear color and texture.
