Yes. Our physicians recommend chemical peels in Fort Lauderdale for patients struggling with active breakouts and/or acne scarring. Through deep exfoliation, chemical peels remove acne-causing bacteria and induce shedding of damaged cells, effectively reducing acne, scarring, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone and texture, and wrinkles.

Customized Chemical Peels for Your Needs
Sometimes, your skin needs a full reset—no matter how diligent you are with at-home skincare. Chemical peels increase your cellular turnover rate, causing damaged skin cells to shed and reveal new, healthy skin from below.
At Galt Dermatology & Concierge Medicine, our board-certified dermatologists offer a range of chemical peel solutions. Powered by Alpha-hydroxy acids and Beta-hydroxy acids, chemical peels offer customizable exfoliation to restore your healthy complexion and address sun damage, acne, and many other skin concerns.
What To Expect
The Process for Chemical Peels
Consultation
At Galt Dermatology & Concierge Medicine, you’ll always be seen by a board-certified physician. During your initial consultation, your doctor will review your unique skin concerns and goals, assess the current state of your skin, and provide personalized treatment recommendations.
Treatment
Depending on the strength of your chemical peel, your treatment will take between 15 and 60 minutes. Your dermatologist will inform you of your exact timeline during your consultation. We will begin the treatment by sanitizing the treatment area. We’ll then apply your unique chemical solution, allowing it to settle for the set amount of time. After removing your peel solution, your physician will provide detailed aftercare instructions to streamline your recovery.
Follow Up
Immediately after your chemical peel, your skin may redden and become more sensitive—similar to the symptoms of a mild sunburn. Once these effects dissipate over the following 1 to 2 days, your skin will begin to shed its damaged cells. The peeling process takes 3 to 6 days, depending on the type of solution we apply. Your doctor will recommend additional chemical peels and help you schedule your next treatments to optimize your results long-term.

Frequently Asked Questions
Immediately after your chemical peel, your skin may become more sensitive and red—similar to the sensation of a mild sunburn. These symptoms typically resolve within a few hours. Your skin will begin to shed damaged cells in the next 2 days, continuing to peel for up to 5 days (depending on the strength of your treatment). However, a “micro-peel” will not induce visible shedding.
Before your chemical peel at Galt Dermatology & Concierge Medicine, your dermatologist will review exactly what you can expect during and after your treatment, ensuring your comfort and safety throughout the process.
Our dermatologists recommend scheduling light chemical peels every 3 to 6 weeks, and medium-strength peels every 6 months. Deeper chemical peels should only be performed once a year.
