The Benefits of Chemical Peels in St. Louis Park & Woodbury, MN

If you’re looking for one of the most effective ways to refresh and rejuvenate your skin, chemical peels are a proven solution. At Physician Skin Services in St. Louis Park and Woodbury, MN, we provide medical-grade chemical peels customized to your skin’s needs—whether you want to brighten, smooth, or correct damage.


What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a treatment that uses a specialized solution to gently exfoliate the outer layers of skin. This process accelerates cell turnover, revealing smoother, fresher skin underneath. Unlike store-bought exfoliants, chemical peels performed at a physician-directed practice are safe, controlled, and far more effective.

What Do Chemical Peels Treat?

Chemical peels are versatile and can improve multiple skin concerns, including:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Uneven skin tone and texture
  • Sun damage, dark spots, and hyperpigmentation
  • Acne and post-acne scarring
  • Dull, lackluster skin

Many patients notice results after just one peel, while a series provides more dramatic improvement.


Types of Chemical Peels

At Physician Skin Services, we offer different levels of peels to meet your goals:

  • Light Peels – Also called “lunchtime peels,” these use mild solutions to gently refresh and brighten with minimal downtime. Perfect for monthly maintenance.
  • Medium Peels – Penetrate more deeply to target fine lines, sun damage, and uneven pigmentation. Expect a few days of visible peeling as your skin renews.
  • Customized Peels – Our providers select the right blend and strength based on your unique skin type, ensuring safe, effective results tailored just for you.
