CHEMICAL PEELS IN NYC
At Dr. Alexes Hazen’s regenerative aesthetics and longevity practice in New York City, chemical peels are a proven and effective way to rejuvenate the skin by gently removing the outermost layer of dull, damaged cells.
This controlled exfoliation stimulates collagen renewal, improves tone and texture, and restores a healthy, luminous complexion.
Whether you’re looking to smooth fine lines, fade discoloration, or address uneven pigmentation, chemical peels can deliver visible, natural results with minimal downtime.
They are often recommended as part of Dr. Hazen’s holistic skin longevity programs, complementing other non-invasive treatments such as Microneedling, Morpheus8, Red Light Therapy, and Exosome Therapy to enhance skin repair and maintain long-term vitality.
HOW CHEMICAL PEELS WORK
Chemical peels use a customized blend of exfoliating agents- such as glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, or trichloroacetic acid (TCA) - to dissolve the bonds between surface skin cells. This process allows dull, damaged skin to shed, revealing smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin underneath.
As the skin regenerates, collagen production increases, and the new layer appears fresher, firmer, and more radiant. The result is a visible reduction in fine lines, sun damage, acne scars, and pigmentation issues.
Chemical peels can also be used to treat dark under-eye circles and age spots, making them an excellent option for overall facial rejuvenation.
Dr. Hazen often combines or alternates peels with advanced laser resurfacing treatments such as MORPHEUS8 or a Laser Treatment for Skin Rejuvenation for deeper renewal and collagen remodeling.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
A chemical peel is a professional skin-resurfacing treatment that removes the top layer of dead or damaged skin to improve texture, tone, and clarity. The process stimulates new cell growth and collagen formation, resulting in smoother, brighter, and healthier-looking skin.
What is a chemical peel?
Chemical peels are effective for: Fine lines and wrinkles Sun damage and age spots Uneven pigmentation and melasma Acne scars and surface blemishes Dull or rough skin texture Under-eye dark circles
What concerns can chemical peels treat?
Dr. Hazen customizes every peel based on your skin type and goals, ranging from light peels (for gentle brightening) to medium and deep peels (for more intensive resurfacing). She may also recommend combining peels with a Laser treatment for deeper collagen remodeling.
What types of chemical peels does Dr. Hazen offer?
Downtime depends on the peel’s depth. Light peels may cause mild flaking for a few days, while deeper peels can take up to a week for complete healing. Dr. Hazen provides detailed post-treatment care to support comfort and optimal results.
How long is recovery after a chemical peel?
Most patients notice smoother, brighter skin after a single peel. However, a series of 3–6 treatments spaced several weeks apart may be recommended for optimal correction of fine lines, discoloration, or acne scars.
How many treatments will I need?
Yes. Under the guidance of a qualified medical professional like Dr. Hazen, chemical peels can be safely customized for most skin tones and conditions. Pre-treatment preparation and aftercare help minimize any risk of irritation or pigmentation changes.
Is a chemical peel safe for all skin types?
Chemical peels use topical solutions to exfoliate the surface, while lasers like ClearLift or Total FX CO₂ use focused light energy to stimulate collagen at deeper levels. Dr. Hazen may recommend one or a combination of both depending on your goals and skin condition.
What’s the difference between a chemical peel and laser resurfacing?
Absolutely. Chemical peels pair beautifully with Microneedling, Red Light Therapy, or Exosome Therapy to enhance healing and boost radiance. Dr. Hazen often integrates peels into Longevity Protocols that include NAD⁺ Infusions and Hormone Optimization for comprehensive skin and metabolic rejuvenation.
