I recently went and did The Perfect Derma Peel at Kalos Plastic Surgery and I must say it was an overall great experience! The esthetician was AMAZING! and very thorough. Upon entering I was greeted by her, she advised that I would need to fill out paperwork etc. Once that was completed I was taken to the back where the procedure was done. She explained the entire step and also showed me a video of the procedure been done. My skin was prep, then the peel was applied I felt mild sensation the first layer but went away within seconds; it was a really comfortable experience. After I was given post instructions and I bought products which she recommended to add to my at home routine to help with my hyperpigmentation. The first two days my skin was normal by day 3 to 5 I peeled the most then it tapered off as the days went by. My skin is doing great and I get alot of compliments on my skin. I will definitely be back to try their other esthetic services. P.S the esthetician was very knowledgeable and recommended doing a series to help reach my skincare goal.

How Medium Depth Chemical Peels Work
Medium depth peels use agents such as trichloroacetic acid (TCA) to exfoliate the outermost layers of skin while stimulating collagen production in the upper dermis. This controlled resurfacing process helps reduce fine lines, fade sun damage, smooth acne scars, and improve skin tone.
Each treatment typically takes 30 minutes. Patients may feel a brief tingling or warmth during the peel. Visible peeling begins within 48 hours and usually resolves within a week, revealing smoother, brighter skin underneath. Dr. Stong typically recommends a series of 3–6 treatments for optimal outcomes.
Atlanta Skin Concerns We Address
Living in Georgia means year-round sun exposure—Atlanta ranks among the top cities with high daily UV indexes. This can lead to premature aging, uneven pigmentation, and persistent breakouts. Medium depth peels are particularly effective for addressing moderate photoaging and pigmentation caused by Georgia’s sun and humidity.
