What Are Chemical Peels?

Using the highest quality in chemical peel aesthetic treatments, the MODERN Plastic Surgery & Medspa provides patients with choices for a professional facial treatment with chemical solutions that give you smoother, healthier skin on the face.

In our New Orleans, LA, office, plastic surgeon Dr. Jules Walters offers chemical peel treatments that minimize skin flaws, including wrinkles, scars, fine lines, uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation problems, and more. Chemical peels dissolve dead or damaged skin cells with a special solution on the skin that causes the visible layer to peel off. When your skin recovers and starts to repair and rejuvenate itself, you should see a smoother, clearer complexion. A chemical peel facial is a nonsurgical option to make your complexion bright and may be used for the face, neck, and décollatage.

What Are the Types of Chemical Peels?

Our facility provides several types of chemical peels in order to best fit our patients’ skin needs and goals.

  • ZO® Stimulator Peel: This peel can work wonders in just minutes, making it perfect for enhancing your face before a special event.
  • ZO® 3-Step Peel: Eliminates the signs of aging and skin discoloration with a blend of exfoliants, retinol, and antioxidant protection.
  • Precision Plus Peel: Designed with hyperpigmentation in mind, this peel is able to alleviate age spots, brighten the skin, and smooth rough skin texture.
  • Illuminize Peel: Treats mild imperfections in the skin to create a more vibrant appearance.
  • Vitalize Peel: The appearance of moderate to severe fine lines and wrinkles can often be reduced in just one session with this chemical peel.
  • Rejuvenize Peel: Mild fine lines, wrinkles, and roughness in the skin can be treated quickly and effectively using this peel.

Are Chemical Peels Right for Me?

Receiving the suggestions of an aesthetic specialist is the first part of the journey to healthier skin. Our experienced aestheticians will evaluate your skin during a consultation in our New Orleans, LA, office to determine if a chemical peel or another treatment such as laser skin resurfacing or HALO® laser skin rejuvenation is right for you. Chemical peel patients of both genders typically have visible problems in their skin, like scars, flaky skin, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles, fine lines, sun spots, and more. We will recommend multiple types of peels to fit your needs and goals.

How Do Chemical Peels Work?

At your appointment, we will have you lie in a comfortable position to administer your treatment.

Our aestheticians will ensure the skin is cleaned prior to applying the personalized solution to the treatment areas. We will massage the solution onto the skin and allow it to work for an appropriate length of time, which will be determined in your chemical peel consultation. Finally, we will clean the peel off your skin and put on a neutralizing agent. Patients are encouraged to bring a hat to wear outside following the procedure to protect against environmental exposure.

What Results Can I Expect from Chemical Peels?

Based on the level of the chemical peel you choose, you should expect the face to peel and itch for several days to 2 or more weeks.

Dr. Walters or a member of his team will discuss methods to treat your face during your consultation. Remember that no matter how badly your skin itches throughout the post-treatment process, picking the skin off is not helpful. You may create scarring on your delicate skin.

“Went to Maggie for the first time for Botox and filler, and she was absolutely phenomenal! She took her time and educated me on everything and gave me a personalized plan. I am beyond happy with how everything came out. Thanks to her amazing work, I feel like I have an overall more youthful, but still natural look! Cannot wait to go back!”

Amanda T. New Orleans, LA Botox + filler

“Beautiful office with amazing results and staff! I got my rapid recovery breast augmentation done in October 2024 and couldn’t be more satisfied with the results. I went through a series of appointments disclosing what would be best suited for my body and lifestyle, along with what I wanted to personally achieve. Dr. Walters did a great job walking me through every step of the process and preparing me for my procedure. … I value the office’s goal to achieve natural results and how easy they are to work with throughout the process. Recommend to everyone looking for any cosmetic work!”

Hannah B. New Orleans, LA, breast augmentation and Botox patient.

“I cannot express how wonderful of an experience this has been and how comfortable I felt from the moment I walked in. Dr. Walters and his staff were so knowledgeable, kind, and welcoming, and they put me completely at ease. I am extremely happy with my results - even more than I could have imagined. I highly recommend Dr. Walters and would absolutely recommend him again for any future procedures.”

Sarah M. New Orleans, LA, plastic surgery patient.

“My experience with Dr. Walters and the team at The Modern was absolutely top-notch! I was nervous coming in for my initial consultation, but the warm and welcoming staff immediately put me at ease. During my first consult, Dr. Walters took the time to thoroughly answer all my questions and explain how each option would impact the overall result. … If you’re looking for a surgeon who is respectful, listens, and delivers stunning results, look no further than Dr. Walters. I couldn’t be happier with my experience—and my results!”

Amanda H. New Orleans, LA, plastic surgery patient.

“Everything about the Modern is amazing! All the staff are very sweet and welcoming on every visit. Maggie is hands down the best injector in the city! I was very hesitant to get filler and Botox, but I'm so glad I did, thanks to Maggie. She explains everything so well and takes the time to understand what you want. Everything she did looked so natural, I couldn't be happier with the results! I recommend Maggie and the Modern to all my friends and family.”

Rebekah E. New Orleans, LA, injectables patient.

“From the moment I walked in, the entire staff was incredibly friendly, warm, and professional. My injector, Maggie, is truly outstanding. … I like how she tailors her work to each individual, instead of doing a ‘one-size-fits-all’. I’ve gotten so many compliments on my lips, and I feel so much more confident! I highly recommend this place to anyone considering lip filler.”

Dana C. New Orleans, LA, lip filler patient.

“Had a breast augmentation surgery with Dr. Walters at the MODERN in October 2024 and couldn’t be happier with the results and outcome! I always highly recommend Dr. Walters to any of my friends who are interested in getting their breasts done. Dr. Walters is very personable, and I loved that he gave me his personal cell number to contact him if I had any questions. … His staff is SO wonderful, and I also go there for other things too, like Botox with Maggie and facials with Zea! 10/10 highly recommend going to the MODERN.”
