At Leong Aesthetics, chemical peels are approached with the same rigor, precision, and ethical standards that define Dr. Paul Leong’s surgical practice. As a board-certified facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Leong personally oversees every treatment performed, ensuring each peel is selected and administered with safety, appropriateness, and long-term skin health in mind. Rather than aggressive, one‑size‑fits‑all exfoliation, our philosophy centers on conservative enhancement, thoughtful customization, and elegant outcomes. Schedule a private consultation with Leong Aesthetics today to learn which chemical peel is right for your skin.
A chemical peel is a non‑surgical skin resurfacing treatment that uses a carefully formulated chemical solution to exfoliate the outermost layers of the skin. By removing damaged surface cells, chemical peels stimulate cellular turnover and reveal smoother, brighter, more evenly toned skin beneath. Depending on formulation and strength, chemical peels can address concerns such as dullness, fine lines, acne, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and uneven texture.
I have been getting work done for the past ten years, in California, Las Vegas and Tampa. Dr. Leong is the best by far. I look extremely youthful and very natural. I highly recommend him. What a gem I have found and in Pittsburgh!
The Gloss Peel is a gentle, superficial chemical peel designed to refresh stressed skin without wounding or irritation. Formulated with trichloroacetic acid, salicylic acid, azelaic acid, vitamin A, and cell turnover enhancers, this peel delivers noticeable brightness and smoothness while remaining exceptionally mild. Patients can return immediately to their normal routine, making it an ideal option for those seeking visible improvement with no downtime.
The Mini Melanage Peel is a carefully calibrated peel developed to improve tone, reduce acne, and address hyperpigmentation, particularly in darker skin tones. While mild and comfortable during treatment, it works beneath the surface to support collagen production and strengthen the skin against future discoloration. Each treatment includes an extended at‑home regimen to enhance and maintain results over several weeks.

Most superficial chemical peel treatments take approximately 30 minutes from start to finish. Your skin is cleansed, the peel solution is carefully applied, and the treatment is monitored for comfort and safety throughout. Afterward, you will receive detailed post‑treatment instructions and, when appropriate, an at‑home skincare kit to support healing and results.
Recovery from superficial peels is typically minimal. Mild redness or light flaking may occur for several days, depending on the peel used.
