Chemical peels can gradually fade age spots, but several treatments are necessary before you notice any results. A chemical peel involves applying an acid, which gently peels the outer layer of skin, to the age spots. As your skin peels, new skin forms to take its place. Sun protection is strongly advised following any type of chemical peel.
Beta Lift™ in Beverly Hills & Los Angeles is a state-of-the-art chemical peel that has redefined the traditional superficial peel. This advanced treatment takes just five minutes and is designed to reduce acne lesions, minimize large pores, and improve overall skin texture.
Beta Lift™ works by removing dead and dull cells from the surface of your skin. The procedure is specifically designed to give you healthy, youthful, and refreshed-looking skin. Immediately after the Beta Lift treatment, most patients report that their skin feels smooth and tight. Peeling may occur for approximately 3 to 5 days, although some patients may experience minimal visible peeling.
Glycolic acid is derived from sugar-crops such as sugarcane, sugar beets, pineapple, Cantaloupe, and unripe grapes. It is used to improve the skin’s appearance and texture. It may reduce wrinkles, acne scarring, brown spots and improve many other skin conditions. Once applied, glycolic acid reacts with the upper layer of the skin and allowing the outer skin to “dissolve” revealing the underlying, healthier, smoother, brighter-looking skin.
Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is a deep peeling agent. Trichloroacetic acid peels are used to smooth out fine surface wrinkles, remove superficial blemishes and correct skin pigment problems. TCA peels may require repeat treatment to maintain results and require the use of sunblock for several months (this is a must). The skin may take several days to heal depending on how deep the peel.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are chemical peels and how do they work?
Chemical peels are professional dermatology treatments that remove the outer layers of skin to reveal smoother, brighter, and healthier-looking skin. They can improve wrinkles, acne scars, age spots, and overall skin texture. - What is the difference between Beta Lift™, Glycolic Acid, and TCA peels?
Beta Lift™ is a fast, superficial peel ideal for acne and pore reduction. Glycolic acid peels are mild, derived from natural sugars, and help with fine lines, wrinkles, and pigmentation. TCA peels are deeper peels used to smooth fine surface wrinkles and correct pigment issues. - How long does it take to see results after a chemical peel?
Results vary depending on the peel type, but most patients notice smoother, brighter skin within a few days. Deeper peels like TCA may require longer recovery, and multiple sessions are often recommended for optimal results. - Are chemical peels safe for all skin types?
Yes, chemical peels are generally safe for most skin types when performed by a board-certified dermatologist. Pre-treatment consultation with Dr. Daniel Behroozan ensures the best approach for your specific skin concerns. - Do chemical peels help with wrinkles and fine lines?
Yes. Peels like Glycolic acid and TCA stimulate collagen production, smooth fine lines, and reduce wrinkles while improving overall skin texture. - Is there any downtime after a chemical peel?
Downtime depends on the peel depth. Superficial peels like Beta Lift™ have minimal downtime, while deeper TCA peels may cause redness, peeling, or swelling for several days. - Can chemical peels be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Many patients combine chemical peels with Botox®, dermal fillers, microneedling, and laser treatments to achieve enhanced rejuvenation results. - How often should I get a chemical peel?
Superficial peels like Beta Lift™ can be done every 4-6 weeks. Deeper peels may require longer intervals between sessions. Dr. Behroozan will recommend a treatment schedule tailored to your skin. - Are chemical peels painful?
Most chemical peels are well-tolerated. Patients may experience mild stinging or tingling during application. Deeper peels like TCA may cause temporary discomfort, which is managed with professional care. - How can I maintain results after a chemical peel?
