A chemical peel is a non-surgical cosmetic treatment that removes damaged outer layers of skin to reveal smoother, brighter, and healthier-looking skin underneath.
At Angela Azar, MD, we offer customized chemical peels in our Great Neck and Jackson Heights offices. Whether you’re looking to treat acne, fade dark spots, or refresh aging skin, Dr. Azar provides safe, effective peel treatments tailored to your needs.
