Chemical Peels
Reveal your best skin yet with a chemical peel—a results-driven treatment that transforms dull, uneven skin into a radiant, refreshed complexion.

HOW CHEMICAL PEELS WORK
Chemical peels use a specialized blend of exfoliating ingredients to gently remove the outer layer of dull, damaged skin and stimulate cellular renewal beneath the surface. By encouraging your skin to shed old, dead cells, a peel reveals a fresher, smoother complexion underneath. The process also helps boost collagen production, refine pores, and improve tone and texture over time. At MD Cote Medical Aesthetics, each peel is customized to your skin type and goals—whether you’re looking for a light refresh or deeper rejuvenation.

I am writing to express my disappointment regarding a recent appointment I scheduled via email. Upon arriving at the clinic, I was informed that no appointment was on record and staff were unsure how this occurred. I had made arrangements and taken time off work specifically for this appointment, as I was very much looking forward to being seen. Given the inconvenience and lost time, I would appreciate discussing whether compensation for a portion of my time is possible. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response.
Lyndsey is a master aesthetician! My skin has completely transformed since coming here. The BBL treatments for sun damage are incredible. I have been to other Aestheticians and did not get the results I am getting with Lyndsey 5 Stars!
Coolsculpting for entire days at a time, seemed more like a spa or vacation day, than a procedure day. Jenna was the best and most professional provider I have ever worked with.

Rachel is amazing and the absolute best. She has great recommendations, awesome bedside manner. She only recommends what will be the best for the client and I always trust her opinion and feel safe in her hands. The only improvement I wish- the waiting room is SO BRIGHT now 😩 I liked it before. The new super light pink paint and super bright LED’s kill the vibe.
Hi Team, writing a review on my last week experience with you. Team is amazing especially Mya. She was super nice, gentle with my skin. She listened to all my concerns. She did dermoplaning and diamond facial on me. Appreciate all the work you do. Thank you Mya. You are an amazing 👏 person. Cant wait to see you next time and get the facial done from you. Thanks & Regards Saroj
This clinic is truly wonderful. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Mya, Jenna, Lyndsey, Julia, and Dr. Cote, and they take the time to understand your goals, walk you through every option, and make sure you feel confident in your decisions. Their execution is so seamless and precise it almost feels unreal. Jessica and Michell are equally amazing—always greeting you with genuine warmth and making sure you feel supported every step of the way. The entire team is not only highly professional, but also makes you feel like you’re among friends. I couldn’t recommend them more!
The Diamond Glow facial with Jenna was amazing! She is very friendly, knowledgeable, and tailored the treatment to my skin type. I love the results - cleaner and healthier skin - and highly recommend this!
I just received the diamond glow facial from MD cote. It was my first facial. I loved the experience. I felt pampered as soon as I walked in the office. Everyone is so warm and professional. My esthetician listened to my skin concerns and recommended that we start with hydration and work our way up to microdermabrasion and different serums in the future because it was my first. I appreciated the questionnaire that asked about my skin tone and sun sensitivity. Jenna was warm, friendly and had a natural flow of conversation. I felt very comfortable with her. My skin looked amazing afterwards and my pores were so clear! (she even showed me all the gunk that came out at the end haha) highly recommend getting your facials here.
I had a Diamond Glow Facial & added on dermaplaning with Mya & it was amazing! My face is still glowing days later. Highly recommend!
Dr Cote and her staff are very professional and great to do business with. They make you feel comfortable and ensure you will have a great experience. I would recommend them to anyone.
Awesome women dr Cote very funny and professional. Knowledgeable and great staff along side her.
common CHEMICAL PEEL faqs
Explore our frequently asked questions to learn more about Chemical peels, their benefits, and what to expect during treatment.
A chemical peel is a professional exfoliating treatment that removes dull, damaged skin cells to reveal smoother, brighter, more radiant skin underneath.
They use a blend of medical-grade ingredients to gently dissolve the outer layer of skin, encouraging cell turnover and stimulating collagen renewal for a healthier complexion.
Peels can help improve fine lines, uneven tone, acne, congestion, dark spots, and overall dullness.
Not always — and that’s okay! Visible peeling is not the goal; cell turnover is.
Some people experience mild flaking, while others have little to no visible peeling. Even without visible shedding, your skin is still renewing and rebuilding beneath the surface.
Most patients benefit from a series of treatments spaced about 4–6 weeks apart, depending on skin type, goals, and peel strength.
Downtime varies by peel type. Light peels may leave skin slightly pink or tight for a day, while deeper peels can have visible flaking for several days.
Yes! At MD Cote, your master aesthetician will assess your skin type, skin concerns and your overall goals to select a chemical peel that is right for you and your skin needs. Most of our peels are safe for all skin types.
You’ll notice brighter, smoother skin within a few days, with optimal improvement developing over one to two weeks as your skin renews.
Avoid heat, exercise, exfoliating products, and direct sun exposure for several days. Always wear SPF to protect your new skin. Your provider will discuss proper post-care to ensure optimal results.
Your provider will assess your skin and goals to recommend the ideal peel strength and formula for your needs — from gentle refreshers to more corrective treatments.
