Chemical Peel

Medical-grade chemical peels to improve skin tone, texture, pigmentation, and mild scarring by exfoliating damaged outer skin layers and stimulating cellular renewal. Available in superficial, medium, and deeper formulations matched to skin type and concern. Epionce professional skincare is used at the practice for pre- and post-peel preparation. Can be combined with CO2 laser resurfacing, microneedling, and PRP as part of a layered skin rejuvenation protocol.

Chemical peels at Zarrabi Plastic Surgery are a physician-supervised, non-surgical skin treatment designed to improve pigmentation irregularities, sun damage, fine lines, uneven texture, and mild superficial scarring. By applying a precisely selected exfoliating agent to the skin surface, the treatment removes layers of damaged keratinocytes and stimulates the dermis to produce new, healthier skin cells, resulting in a clearer, more even complexion. The practice offers peels calibrated to skin type and concern. Superficial peels use alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) such as glycolic or lactic acid to treat mild textural concerns with no significant downtime; light redness and flaking resolve within two to three days. Medium-depth peels — often formulated with trichloroacetic acid (TCA) — address more significant sun damage, melasma, and moderate textural irregularities; downtime involves peeling and erythema for five to seven days. Deeper peels produce the most dramatic resurfacing but require careful pre-treatment skin preparation and longer recovery. Chemical peels are frequently recommended alongside CO2 laser resurfacing, PRP facials, and microneedling as part of a layered skin health protocol. Dr. Zarrabi's team advises on the optimal combination and sequencing of treatments based on Fitzpatrick skin type, existing photodamage, and individual patient goals. The Epionce professional skincare line is used at the practice and recommended for pre- and post-peel skin preparation and maintenance. All non-surgical skin treatments are available from the Beverly Hills office at 150 S Rodeo Dr #200, with a second consultation location in Santa Monica. Pricing varies by peel depth and number of sessions.
