Introduction
To meet our patients’ needs, we offer a range of skin treatments at our cosmetic surgery practice in Philadelphia, including chemical peels. We are happy to provide non-surgical treatment options in addition to our standard array of surgical procedures, as we understand that not everyone requires plastic surgery to achieve healthier, glowing, evenly-toned skin.
With chemical peels, you can improve your complexion, reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, and make age spots and freckles far less visible or gone. If you would like to learn more about the skin treatments we offer or are interested in scheduling an appointment for a chemical peel with Dr. Morgenstern, please contact our Bala Cynwyd office today.
Dr. Morgenstern has established an exclusive plastic surgery practice in Bala Cynwyd, where we deliver medical-grade chemical peels to achieve significant skin rejuvenation.
A chemical peel is a non-surgical treatment that gently exfoliates the skin using a medical-grade solution to reveal a brighter, smoother complexion. By removing damaged outer layers, chemical peels can soften fine lines, even out skin tone, and refresh your overall appearance with minimal downtime. At our Bala Cynwyd office, we offer expertly tailored peels to help you achieve clear, radiant skin.
Typically, light-skinned and light-haired individuals are the best candidates for chemical peels, but the procedure is effective for almost anyone with wrinkles, fine lines, a poor complexion, or skin discoloration. However, you may require more comprehensive treatment to achieve the improvements you envision if you have excessive wrinkles or sagging skin. If you are interested in undergoing a chemical peel in Philadelphia, we invite you to discuss your options with Dr. Morgenstern in person.

If you are seeking a quick, effective treatment to brighten your skin and refresh your appearance, our chemical peels in Philadelphia may be right for you.
Improving your skin with a chemical peel begins with a personalized consultation with Dr. Kenneth Morgenstern and his experienced team. During this appointment, your skin will be carefully evaluated to determine the concerns you would like to address, such as acne, uneven pigmentation, fine lines, sun damage, or overall dullness. Dr. Morgenstern will review your medical history, current skincare routine, and aesthetic goals to determine which chemical peel is best suited to your skin type and desired results. Because chemical peels vary in strength (from light, refreshing treatments to deeper resurfacing options), this consultation is essential for designing a treatment plan that is both safe and effective. By the end of your visit, you will have a clear understanding of the recommended peel, the expected results, and how the treatment can help restore a smoother, brighter, and healthier-looking complexion.
Our Philadelphia chemical peel involves applying an acidic agent to the skin to treat the epidermis, revealing healthy skin beneath. The results of a chemical peel are temporary, but because the procedure is quick and non-invasive, it is an excellent option for men and women who would like to treat superficial skin imperfections or refresh their overall appearance. By removing the damaged or dead outer skin cells, the complexion, skin color, and skin imperfections can be dramatically improved.
To perform a chemical peel, Dr. Morgenstern will first thoroughly cleanse the skin to remove excess oils. The eyes and hair are covered to be protected from the chemical solution applied to the face. Once your facial skin has been prepared, the chemical solution – typically an acid, such as glycolic, salicylic, lactic, or carbolic – is applied evenly across the skin. The duration of the treatment will vary depending on the type of peel being applied, but typically a chemical peel takes no more than 15 minutes, during which the damaged outer layer of skin is treated. After your treatment, we apply skin-renewing serums, cooling lotions, and sunscreens until the healing process is complete.
Your Guide to Post-Chemical Peels Care
Light peels may cause mild redness and flaking for three to five days; medium peels can produce a ‘coffee-ground’ peel that lifts away over seven to ten days. Keep skin hydrated with the post-procedure kit we provide, avoid direct sun, and apply broad-spectrum SPF daily. Most patients resume mineral makeup after 48 hours for light peels and once flaking subsides—usually around day seven—for medium peels.
The cost of Chemical Peels in Philadelphia varies from patient to patient. Dr. Morgenstern and his staff look forward to working with you to develop cosmetic goals that help you look and feel your best, including a customized chemical peel.
