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 couldn't be happier with my results. Rachel does an amazing job and my results look very natural. She listens to my concerns and gives me feedback on how they can be addressed. I am so so happy with my experience at Md Cote!
Dr Cote and assistant are great. They take time to do what you want. Lyndsey is great too! Be mindful of the small print when you sign that you understand. The person that handles that portion isn't rude, but I wouldn't make seeing her a habit.
I had an amazing experience with Mya for laser hair removal. She took the time to explain everything to me to make me feel completely comfortable. The process was painless and took six sessions with much success. The space was clean and professional and her services exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Mya if you’re looking for high-quality laser hair removal delivering great results.
I was a loyal client for years, and bought a package laser treatment in 2023 and due to health issues advised by my doctor hold off on any treatments like these which I had provided the dr letter to the spa, they did not inform me about expiration policy the staff and the esthetician even not aware of the policy. Now they are saying I can’t use my package because it had expired.My attempts to resolve the issue were ignored. This is extremely unprofessional and disappointing. I think business is struggling and they r finding ways to make money. I would strongly caution others about paying upfront here. Please avoid this spa at any cost. Multiple unhappy clients and their reviews so stay away. I am now pursuing formal complaint. ** I completely disagree with your response. It misrepresents the facts and avoids the real issue—you accepted payment and failed to deliver the services. Not stated ever about the expiration. These treatments are not cheap if clients are aware off expirations who would have this kind of money to donate it to spa like yours. I made repeated efforts to resolve this privately, which were not taken seriously. Your reply only reinforces my concern about the lack of professionalism and accountability.
I have had the pleasure of spending time with Jenna over this past year as I have received a few coolsculpting treatments. Jenna is just a beautiful person inside and out. She is so gentle, kind and easy to connect with. By the time I am ready to leave, not only have I had the best Coolsculpting session (their equipment and expertise using it is top of the line), I feel like I’ve had a little therapy session as well😊 Thank You Jenna!!
The change in management has been disappointing to say the least. After years of coming here, I can no longer support a business that profits from shady policies and doesn’t honor their long-standing clients. There are far better options for med spas than this place. I highly recommend going elsewhere with higher standards, updated practices and customer loyalty.
I just had my very first facial ever, and I can honestly say it was an incredible experience from start to finish! I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the entire treatment was relaxing, professional, and surprisingly rejuvenating. Mya explained each step and the process. I will definitely be back soon! Thanks Mya!
Mya does an amazing job with the dermaplaning and the diamond glow facial. I leave the office feeling so much more confident with my glowy, smooth skin. I can't wait for my next appointment!
Mia is very personable and is extremely knowledgeable. I always feel comfortable, relaxed, and in good hands.
Staff are always kind and professional. I feel listened to and cared for. Highly Recommend!
I love this place! Their people are amazing, answering questions, making suggestions, making you feel comfortable and relaxed. They offer amazing products that work and their services are tops! They don’t try to sell you on services you don’t need. In fact, I had a consultation for a particular service and the technician explained why it was not necessary and would not give me the results I was looking for. Instead she suggested a product that could help. Wow! A place that doesn’t try to take you money. The other services I really enjoy and see results are the micro needling , peal, laser, and Botox. The micro needling vanished a dark spot on my face after one treatment. Obviously results will vary but for me it only took one but I had a second treatment done anyway 😊Amazing! The laser treatments take time obviously, but I noticed a difference in some areas after the first. Can’t wait to see the final results. The Botox really helps with my headaches and of course fine lines. 😉 They also offer discounts thru Alli and have promotions throughout the year. Another plus!
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!
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.
