Quick answer
Kairos offers chemical peels in Hagerstown, including Clarity Fusion, SkinCeuticals MicroPeel 15, Advanced Corrective, Pigment Balancing, and TCA. Dermaplaning can be paired with a peel. Depth and formula are chosen after a skin assessment. Fees are confirmed at consult. Results vary.
In dermatology education, peels are grouped by depth: superficial (epidermis), medium (into the upper dermis), and deep (rarely used outside specialized settings). Agents may include alpha-hydroxy acids (glycolic, lactic), beta-hydroxy acid (salicylic), and trichloroacetic acid (TCA) at carefully selected strengths. Deeper is not automatically better—matching peel depth to skin type and downtime is the clinical skill.
In-clinic only — botox, fillers, Morpheus8, lasers, and peels are performed in Hagerstown after an in-person assessment — not by telehealth. Aesthetics hub

The peel booking page lists Clarity Fusion, SkinCeuticals MicroPeel 15, Advanced Corrective, and TCA, plus dermaplaning. Dermaplaning can be its own visit or paired with a peel when the assessment calls for it. Pigment Balancing is on a separate skin-consult booking page. Fees are confirmed at consult. A peel is one tool for tone and texture. It is not a cure for melasma or scarring.
More detail — tap to expand
Superficial peels (often AHAs/BHAs) target dullness, mild congestion, and fine surface irregularity with hours-to-days of mild flaking for many patients. Medium-depth approaches (including certain TCA protocols) reach further and can help more established sun damage or texture—but recovery and pigment risk increase. Deep peels are specialized and not a casual med-spa default.
Any peel can cause irritation, prolonged redness, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation—especially with medium depths or inadequate sun protection. Darker skin tones need thoughtful agent selection and aftercare. We screen for recent retinoid use, waxing, active infection, cold-sore history, pregnancy considerations, and recent procedures before proceeding.
Typical education: pause strong actives (such as retinoids) and heavy sun exposure for several days before many peels; aftercare prioritizes gentle cleanser, moisturizer, and broad-spectrum sunscreen. Flaking is not “failure”—it is part of controlled turnover when it occurs. Do not pick or scrub. Longer educational follow-up: /learn/after-chemical-peels — still secondary to your written visit instructions.
