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 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've been coming here for a few years now. Started with Botox then other services like facials and fillers. The entire team is always professional, patient and courteous. They all work together like a well oiled machine. I've been pleased with EVERYTHING. The establishment is top-notch. It's not the highest but not the lowest but reasonable. Scheduling is easy.Happy customer so far. The main thing i have been pleased with over the years is... 1. They dont do hard up sells. 2. Dr. Vote and the staff listen. I had photos of what I like and dont like and it was 100% what i wanted. Its your face. Its important to be heard. I would highly recommend this place. You won't be disappointed.

I am extremely happy with the services I received. I was listened to and given all the information on each procedure I was interested in. I like how Dr. Cote' asked me what I wanted improved, she didn't tell me what I needed. Lyndsey is also great. She explained what real results I could see and what to expect. They also let you know the cost of each procedure ahead of time. All the staff members are professional and welcoming.

I purchased a BBL package while it was on sale in December 2023. I used one treatment shortly after, then my second in October 2024. When I went to schedule my final appointment, I was told my package had expired six months after purchase — based on an agreement I supposedly signed five years ago. Not once during my visits was I ever informed that there was an expiration, nor was this policy clearly explained when I purchased the package. These treatments are not cheap, and I would have never spent that kind of money had I known the sessions would expire so quickly. It’s extremely disappointing that they won’t honor what was clearly a communication mistake on their end. I’m out the money, and the company isn’t taking responsibility — very unprofessional and not what I expected from a business in this industry.

Rachel made my experience just great. All the staff seem to go above and beyond to helping their customers; my nurse specifically made my experience nearly painless and less scary. She did various techniques to get me distracted of the needle. The results are great too. She added enough to fix my gummy smile, which other places couldn’t fix. I am now a client and it’s worth the drive for me.

Dr. Cote and her staff have changed my life! I found out about hormone therapy during one of her seminars, and I am feeling better every day. Doc is knowledgeable, takes her time to explain processes and procedures, and has a funny, laid-back approach during her appointments. It's 5 stars for me!!

Lyndsey did an amazing job on my procedure, she is very knowledgeable and I wish I would have gone there 1st instead of this other place. The staff is very nice and it was a pleasure going there. Highly recommend and I will be going back. William S.

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.
