About Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are topical treatments that exfoliate the skin using clinically formulated acids. These solutions gently dissolve dead skin cells, unclog pores, and stimulate collagen production. Depending on your skin type and goals, peels can be light and refreshing or deeper for more dramatic results.

At Dr. Coombs’ Upper East Side office, every peel is selected and customized based on your concerns, skin tone, and tolerance for downtime.
