Chemical peels lift away damage, bring out the best in your skin
At Bridgeport Laser & Wellness Center, we can gently peel away the effects of cumulative sun exposure, gravity, and other changes to our skin that accompany the march of time. Our team of talented professionals is led by Alina Wilson, an authority in medical aesthetics and a trailblazer in the concept of Thoughtful Aging. Patients have peace of mind that any products or treatments available at our office in Tualatin, Oregon, are safe, comfortable, clinically proven, and support the results that you want. These products/treatments include a wide range of medical-grade chemical peels, tailored and formulated to resolve an equally wide range of skin concerns.
What are chemical peels?
Chemical peels are special solutions that are personalized to your skin. When applied by one of our experts, the ingredients in these solutions target and improve (or even eliminate) specific skin concerns. The specific solution or formula that is used depends on several factors, including the nature and severity of your concern and your skin type. This feature makes peels a highly customizable procedure.
What makes a chemical peel “medical-grade”?
The peels available at our center are safely and carefully applied by trained and skilled medical professionals. Additionally, you can trust that the ingredients used in these peels are clinically proven to be effective and safe. They also contain sufficiently high concentrations of active ingredients/acids to make a real, visible difference in the appearance and feel of your skin. As a medical-grade peel, you also benefit from our knowledge and ability to customize peels to your needs and personal characteristics. When treatments are personalized to you, they are more likely to work with your skin and not against it, minimizing the risk of unwanted side effects and complications. Personalized formulations are also more effective at treating conditions that can affect the overall health and appearance of your skin.
How do peels work?
Despite the differences in ingredients and concentrations of those ingredients, all peels generally “work” by lifting damaged skin cells. Over time, dead or damaged skin cells tend to build up on the surface. This can result in a tired, aged, and dull complexion. By removing these skin cells, we help to bring fresh and healthy cells to the surface. So, your skin looks and feels better.

What are the differences between peels?
Depending on the ingredients and concentrations used, a peel may be light or superficial, medium-strength, or deep. These three categories of peels differ in how deeply they penetrate the skin. In turn, some peels may be more appropriate than others for certain concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, dullness, uneven skin tone, and poor texture.
How deep does each peel go into the skin?
A light or “lunchtime” peel affects only the outermost layer of skin in the epidermis. Medium peels are a middle-ground; they trigger healthy turnover of skin cells in the superficial layer and the upper dermis (the skin’s mid-layer). The strongest deep peels penetrate into the lower layer of skin.
Why would one type be better for me than another?
Lighter peels are generally safe and suitable for all skin types. Since they do not affect the deeper layers of skin, these superficial peels work best for those with earlier/less extensive signs of sun damage and aging. While they are a low-risk and no-downtime option, light peels require more treatments than their deeper counterparts to get desirable results. The strongest peels are not appropriate for everyone. They require significant downtime for healing and recovery. However, for the right patients, they do get dramatic results with a single treatment – a true “one-and-done” process.
How can chemical peels improve my skin?
Since we offer the full line of medical-grade PCA Skin® and Skinceuticals® peels, there is likely a good option for you. These peels can be customized to improve the appearance of lined, wrinkled, blotchy, saggy, dry, lackluster, sun-damaged, and acne-prone skin.
Can chemical peels be used on my neck?
Absolutely! Peels may be used off the face, especially on the neck. This area is vulnerable to the effects of sun exposure and environmental damage. Changes in skin firmness and elasticity over time can also cause crepey, wrinkly, and lax skin on the neck. By applying the right concentration and type of acid (i.e., salicylic, lactic, glycolic, TCA), our professional peels support healthy skin resurfacing to improve the textures, contours, and overall appearance of your neck. These peels can also help with other issues on the neck, such as dark spots or hyperpigmentation. We can safely and effectively treat the decolletage and other parts of the body, too. And, if peels are not the most appropriate option for your skin and concerns, Bridgeport Laser & Wellness Center may introduce you to a range of age-defying alternatives to peels.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the different types of formulations?
Different ingredients and concentrations can be customized to your unique needs. Some support a “light” or “lunchtime” peel, while others support deeper peels and may be categorized as such (either a medium-strength or deep peel).
What are the differences between light, medium, and deep peels?
True to the terminology, a “light” peel is more superficial. It only affects the outermost layer of the skin. Medium peels are a middle-ground. They stimulate healthy cell turnover in the outermost layer of skin and the upper part of the dermis (or the middle layer of skin). The deep peel penetrates into the lower layer of the skin.
What are the benefits of each? And why might one be better than another for me?
Lighter peels are generally safe and appropriate for all skin types. They are best for those with earlier or less extensive signs of aging and sun damage. While they present a low-risk, no-downtime process, these peels do require more treatment sessions to get desirable or goal results. Deeper peels are not appropriate for everyone and require considerable downtime, but they do get dramatic results. It is a “one-and-done” process.
What specific problems do you treat with chemical peels?
We offer the full line of medical-grade PCA Skin® and Skinceuticals® peels.
