Are you struggling with dark spots, melasma, or uneven pigmentation? Chemical peels can resurface your skin, breaking up excess pigment and revealing a brighter complexion.

At Westford Dermatology & Cosmetic Center, you can get personalized chemical peels in Westford for hyperpigmentation to target stubborn discoloration and improve skin tone.

How Chemical Peels Work for Dark Spots and Melasma

Chemical peels use a carefully formulated blend of exfoliating acids—such as glycolic, salicylic, lactic, or trichloroacetic acid (TCA)—to break down excess melanin and remove damaged skin layers. This controlled exfoliation stimulates cell turnover, allowing fresh, evenly pigmented skin to emerge while fading dark spots, melasma, and other forms of hyperpigmentation.

Melasma, which is often triggered by hormones and worsened by sun exposure, can be treated with chemical peels. These peels help regulate melanin production and prevent recurring discoloration. They can also significantly lighten stubborn patches and improve overall skin tone by removing built-up pigment from the epidermis and dermis.

Depending on the severity of your pigmentation, Dr. Franks may recommend:

VI Peel

A powerful blend of ingredients suitable for all skin types, designed to improve skin tone, texture, and clarity while reducing hyperpigmentation, melasma, and dark spots. This peel also helps soften fine lines and wrinkles while stimulating collagen production.

VI Pigmentation Peel (Precision Peel)

A stronger formulation specifically for stubborn melasma treatment and deep dark spot removal. This peel contains retinoic acid, hydroquinone, and kojic acid to target discoloration and create an even skin tone.

VI Acne Peel

This peel, which includes benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid, is ideal for those dealing with hyperpigmentation and acne. It clears pores, brightens skin, and reduces acne scars.

Each treatment is personalized to brighten your complexion, revealing smoother, clearer skin with minimal downtime.

Why Chemical Peels Are Effective for Hyperpigmentation

Unlike topical creams that take months to show results, chemical peels deliver faster, more noticeable improvements in skin tone. Their effectiveness lies in their ability to:

  • Break down excess melanin – The exfoliating acids dissolve pigmented skin cells, promoting an even tone and reducing dark spots.
  • Target melasma at the source – Unlike surface-level treatments, chemical peels for melasma penetrate deeper to control pigmentation at a cellular level.
  • Enhance skin brightness – By removing layers of dead skin, chemical peels unveil brighter, more radiant skin underneath.
  • Improve product absorption – Post-peel, your skin is more receptive to brightening agents, making your hyperpigmentation treatment even more effective.
  • Support long-term skin clarity – Regular chemical peels prevent new discoloration from forming, keeping your skin clear and even-toned.

If you’re looking for a proven solution for dark spot removal, melasma treatment, and hyperpigmentation, a chemical peel can help you achieve lasting results.

What to Expect from a Chemical Peel Treatment

At Westford Dermatology & Cosmetic Center, Dr. Franks personalizes your chemical peel for optimal results. During treatment, a chemical solution is applied to exfoliate the skin. You may experience mild tingling as the solution works to resurface your complexion. Recovery varies based on the peel depth, with mild redness and peeling before unveiling smoother, more radiant skin.
