Westlake Dermatology & Cosmetic Surgery offers a tiered chemical peel programme covering light, medium, and deeper formulations to address a wide range of skin quality concerns. Light peels form the foundation of the programme: the Micropeel Glycolic 30 uses a 30% glycolic acid (alpha-hydroxy acid) solution that exfoliates the stratum corneum, accelerating cell turnover and improving surface radiance without visible peeling; the Micropeel Sensitive uses a lower-strength formulation suited to reactive or rosacea-prone skin; and the Vitalize Peel (SkinMedica) combines salicylic acid, lactic acid, and resorcinol at concentrations designed for mild-to-moderate texture and tone improvement with minimal downtime. Medium-depth peels include the VI Peel — a blend of trichloroacetic acid (TCA), salicylic acid, phenol, vitamin C, and tretinoin that penetrates into the papillary dermis to address moderate sun damage, acne scarring, and hyperpigmentation with five to seven days of visible peeling; the VI Peel Precision + Peptides adds growth factor peptides to the VI Peel formulation for enhanced collagen stimulation and improved post-treatment skin quality; the Advanced Corrective Peel (SkinMedica) uses a TCA-based formulation targeting moderate photodamage and acne scarring; and the Micropeel Plus / Acne Peel specifically addresses active acne congestion and post-acne marks using salicylic acid combined with additional comedolytic agents. All peel formulations are followed by medical-grade sun protection instructions, as newly exfoliated skin is significantly more photosensitive. The clinic's blog cites a national average of approximately $413 per session for chemical peels. Post-peel care kits and specific instructions are provided at the time of treatment.
