Offering the best in chemical peel aesthetic treatments, Lyle Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics Center provides patients with multiple options for a customized facial treatment with chemical solutions (such as glycolic, salicylic, lactic, and trichloroacetic acids) that give you healthier, more radiant skin on the face.
At our office, plastic surgeon Dr. Glenn Lyle offers chemical peel treatments that help to resolve skin flaws including scars, wrinkles, fine lines, uneven patches, hyperpigmentation issues, and more. Chemical peels work by removing dead or damaged skin cells with the application of a customized solution on your skin, which causes the top layer to peel off. As your skin heals and begins to rejuvenate and repair itself, you should notice a clearer, smoother complexion. A chemical peel in Raleigh is a noninvasive skin rejuvenation treatment to make your skin brighter and is appropriate for the face, neck, and décolletage. We proudly serve patients from Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Chapel Hill, Durham, Fayetteville, Wilmington, and nearby communities throughout central and coastal North Carolina.
Am I A Chemical Peel Candidate?
Getting the opinion of an aesthetic professional is the first step in the journey to healthier skin. Dr. Lyle at Lyle Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Center can assess your skin in a consultation at our Raleigh office before choosing a chemical peel treatment for ideal results. Chemical peel candidates of both genders typically have noticeable problems in their skin, like acne scars, rough patches, flaky skin, discoloration, sun spots, fine lines, and much more. We will suggest multiple types of chemical peels to fit your needs.
Variations of Chemical Peels
At our Raleigh office, we provide chemical peels in different levels (light, medium, and deep) to fit our patients’ skincare needs.
Light peels
You can have a light chemical peel on your lunch break and immediately get back to your day. This strength of peel will remove the top layer of skin (the epidermis), giving your complexion a brighter appearance and softer texture. We typically suggest that you get a light treatment around once a month for the best glowing results.
Medium-depth peels
This strength of chemical peel penetrates deeper into your skin, and you’ll usually want to do this level of facial rejuvenation treatment over a long weekend. Prepare yourself for more discomfort during and around an hour after chemical peel. Medium-depth peels are best for patients who have significant damage to their skin such as deeper wrinkles and darker pigmentation issues.
Deep peels
The most advanced of the three types of chemical peels is the deep peel treatment, and it will require the most recovery time. This is an aggressive cosmetic treatment that could leave your face swollen, itchy, and peeling for several weeks. Patients who receive a deep peel usually have dark age spots, sun-damaged skin, significant acne scars, or deep-seated scars. As this strength of peel is typically uncomfortable for most patients, we will provide you with mild anesthesia prior to your procedure.
What Happens During a Chemical Peel?
During your procedure at Lyle Plastic Surgery & Aesthetics Center in Raleigh, we will have you lying down in a relaxed position before administering your chemical peel. We will make sure your skin is cleansed before applying the customized solution to your treatment areas. We will massage the solution onto your face and let it set for a specific amount of time, which will be discussed in your treatment planning session. Finally, we will wash the solution off your face and apply a neutralizing agent. You are encouraged to bring a light sunscreen or a hat to wear outside after the procedure to protect from environmental exposure.
What To Expect During Recovery From A Chemical Peel
Depending on the level of the chemical peel you choose in Raleigh, you can expect the face to itch and peel from a few days to a couple of weeks. Dr. Lyle or a member of our team will explain methods to care for your skin during your consultation. Please keep in mind that no matter how much your skin itches during post-treatment recovery, it is never helpful to pick the skin off. You could cause scarring to your delicate skin!
What Is A TCA Peel?
TCA (trichloroacetic acid) is an FDA-approved, noninvasive treatment that removes the damaged top layer of the skin. The skin turns over to new skin cells giving way to a brighter, clearer, evenly toned complexion. TCA peels can help address fine lines and wrinkles, acne scars, (TCA CROSS) skin discoloration, sun damage and even precancerous lesions. Dr. Glenn Lyle or one of his clinical providers in Raleigh will do a thorough assessment of your skin and determine the appropriate strength chemical peel to most effectively treat your skin conditions and concerns. TCA peels are very cost-effective and a great alternative to energy device treatments.

I am a 2 time cancer survivor and Dr. LYLE has been my cancer surgeon since I was 29. I got cancer at 29 then again at 43 and I am 49 now. He stopped doing breast reconstruction after I got my second cancer and he still came and did my reconstruction. He didn’t have to but he did. He has been my surgeon for 20 years now. Stephanie at the office is great too.
