Have environmental factors like the sun left your skin looking aged? Or perhaps you are living with an uneven skin tone that makes you feel self-conscious about your reflection? Patients who are unhappy with the appearance of their skin can turn to a chemical peel to improve the overall appearance of their complexion.
What is a Chemical Peel?
Chemical peels can help to improve the appearance of the skin by using a chemical solution. This solution works by removing the outermost, damaged layers of the skin to reveal healthy skin underneath. Dr. David Baird offers glycolic and salicylic acid peels to address an array of skin irregularities. Chemical peels can help improve:
- Acne scars
- Age spots
- Freckles
- Hyperpigmentation
- Sun-damaged skin
- Rough/scaly skin
- Fine lines and wrinkles
Who is a Good Candidate for Chemical Peels?
Most patients are good candidates for a chemical peel. However, you may want to avoid this treatment if you have a history of abnormal skin scarring or have used certain acne treatments within the last year. A consultation with Dr. Baird can help to best determine if this treatment is a good match for you.
How to Prevent Skin Imperfections
Preventing skin imperfections, such as acne scars, age spots, freckles, hyperpigmentation, sun-damaged skin, rough or scaly skin, and fine lines and wrinkles, starts with consistent, proactive skincare. Daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen helps protect against UV damage that contributes to discoloration and premature aging. Meanwhile, a gentle cleansing and exfoliating routine can prevent clogged pores and promote a smooth, even skin texture. Incorporating antioxidant-rich serums, retinoids, and hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid can support skin renewal, reduce inflammation, and preserve your skin’s youthful appearance over time.
Chemical Peel Treatments
In general, there are three types of chemical peels: light, medium, and deep. The type of chemical peel used will depend on your individual skin type and the extent of correction needed. During a consultation we will help you decide the right chemical peel for your cosmetic goals.

I’ve been a patient here for about 4 years, and I couldn’t be more pleased. The staff is really nice, and appointments are 90% on time, and the doctor is really great. He doesn’t over prescribe/offer unneeded treatments, and he is really just a nice guy. 10/10, 100% recommended.”
