Reveal a Smoother, Brighter, and More Even Complexion
Environmental stressors, sun exposure, and the natural aging process can leave your skin looking dull, uneven, or textured. At Southern Indiana Aesthetic & Plastic Surgery, our medical-grade Chemical Peels offer a powerful, non-surgical way to “reset” your skin. By removing damaged outer layers, these treatments stimulate the production of fresh, healthy cells and collagen, effectively erasing imperfections from the inside out.
What is a Chemical Peel?
chemical peel is a topical treatment that uses a specialized acid solution to deeply exfoliate the skin. Depending on the strength of the peel, it can target different layers of the dermis to treat a wide range of concerns:
- Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Softening the appearance of “crow’s feet” and smile lines.
- Hyperpigmentation: Fading “age spots,” sun damage, and melasma.
- Acne & Scarring: Clearing congested pores and smoothing out post-acne texture.
- Tone & Texture: Transforming rough, “crepey” skin into a silky-smooth surface.
Our Peel Menu: From “Glow” to “Transformation”
We offer various levels of peels at our Columbus and Bloomington medical spas to match your goals and your schedule:
- Light (Superficial) Peels: Often called “lunchtime peels,” these use mild acids like Alpha-Hydroxy (AHA) or Salicylic acid. They provide an instant glow with zero downtime—perfect for a quick refresh.
- Medium Peels: Utilizing TCA (Trichloroacetic acid), these reach the middle layers of the skin. They are highly effective for treating deeper pigment issues and fine wrinkles.
- Deep Medical-Grade Peels: Performed under medical supervision, these address significant sun damage and deeper scarring for a dramatic “new skin” result.
Why Choose SIAPS for Your Chemical Peel?
Because chemical peels involve active medical ingredients, the “who” behind the treatment matters as much as the “what.”
- Physician-Grade Formulations: Unlike day spas, we utilize professional-only concentrations that can only be administered in a medical environment. This ensures deeper penetration and more visible results.
- Personalized “Peel-Mapping”: Dr. Jackson, Dr. Grow, and our clinical team don’t use a “one-size-fits-all” approach. We analyze your skin’s Fitzpatrick scale (sensitivity and pigment profile) to choose the exact acid blend that will be safe and effective for you.
- Surgical Enhancement: We often recommend chemical peels as a “finishing touch” following a Facelift or Eyelid Surgery. While surgery addresses sagging, a peel addresses the quality of the skin itself.
- Post-Peel Support: We provide a comprehensive aftercare kit and instructions to ensure your skin is protected and hydrated as it undergoes its beautiful transformation.

Frequently Asked Questions
With light peels, you may only experience mild flaking. With medium to deep peels, the skin will undergo a visible peeling process for 3 to 7 days. This is a sign that the old, damaged cells are being replaced.
Most patients feel a warm, tingling, or "prickly" sensation during the application. For deeper peels, we use cooling techniques and topical numbing to ensure your comfort.
For "glow" maintenance, once a month is ideal. For corrective work (like acne scars or deep sun damage), we typically recommend a series of 3 to 6 peels spaced several weeks apart.
Yes, but it requires an expert hand. We use specific "safe-for-melanin" formulations to ensure we improve your skin tone without the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
