A chemical peel removes damaged outer layers of skin to reveal smoother, more even-toned skin underneath. You’re dealing with fine lines, sun damage, acne scars, or uneven pigmentation that makeup can’t fix and skincare alone won’t touch.
The right chemical skin peel stimulates collagen production while addressing surface-level concerns. That means fresher skin now and better texture over time.
Most professionals in Dongan Hills can’t afford a week of peeling and redness. That’s why we customize depth and formulation to match your skin goals and your real life. Some peels give you visible results with minimal flaking. Others go deeper for more dramatic improvement. The difference is in knowing which one you actually need.
House of Ness isn’t a franchise or a rotating door of providers. We’re a physician-led med spa where every chemical peel treatment in Dongan Hills is overseen by a board-certified plastic surgeon and performed by certified, licensed injectors.
That medical background matters when you’re applying acids to your face. We know skin anatomy, healing processes, and how to avoid complications that happen when peels are done incorrectly or too aggressively.
We’ve built our reputation in Staten Island by treating clients the way we’d want to be treated—with transparency, expertise, and actual follow-through. You get a complimentary consultation up front and a two-week follow-up after your treatment. If a touch-up is needed, it’s included.
You start with a complimentary consultation where we assess your skin type, discuss your concerns, and determine which peel formulation makes sense. We don’t upsell you into the deepest peel available—we recommend what will actually work for your skin and your goals.
On treatment day, your skin is prepped and cleansed. The chemical solution is applied evenly and left on for a controlled amount of time based on the peel type. Some clients feel a mild tingling or warmth. The solution is then neutralized and removed.
Depending on the peel depth, you might see light flaking within a few days or more noticeable peeling over the course of a week. We give you clear aftercare instructions and medical-grade products to support healing. Two weeks later, you come back so we can evaluate your results and make any adjustments.
The whole process is designed around predictability. You know what to expect, when to expect it, and who to contact if anything feels off.

Every face peeling treatment at House of Ness includes a personalized consultation, the peel itself, post-treatment skincare guidance, and a follow-up appointment with touch-up if needed. No surprise fees. No hidden costs.
We offer multiple peel types depending on what your skin needs. Glycolic chemical peels in Dongan Hills are popular for addressing fine lines and dullness with minimal downtime. Lactic acid peels work well for sensitive skin. For deeper concerns like scarring or significant sun damage, we may recommend a stronger formulation.
Dongan Hills has one of the highest median household incomes on Staten Island, and most of our clients here are professionals who can’t take a week off to recover. That’s why we focus on results that fit your life—not the other way around. You’re not getting a one-size-fits-all treatment. You’re getting a peel that’s calibrated to your skin, your schedule, and your tolerance for downtime.
We’re also a platinum-level Allergan partner, which means we meet the highest standards for product authenticity and clinical expertise. You’re getting medical-grade treatments from a team that’s been vetted by the industry’s leading companies.
Recovery depends entirely on the type of peel. Light peels might cause minor flaking for two to three days, and most people go back to work the next day. Medium-depth peels usually involve more noticeable peeling for about a week. Deep peels require longer downtime, but we rarely recommend them unless you have significant skin damage and the time to heal properly.
During your consultation, we’ll walk through what recovery looks like for the specific peel we’re recommending. Most of our Dongan Hills clients are busy professionals, so we tend to favor peels that deliver results without requiring you to hide at home for a week.
The key is following aftercare instructions. That means gentle cleansing, staying out of the sun, and using the medical-grade products we recommend. Skipping steps or picking at peeling skin can lead to irritation or pigmentation issues.
Yes, but the level of improvement depends on the severity of the scarring or pigmentation and the type of peel used. Superficial peels can improve mild discoloration and smooth out rough texture. For deeper acne scars or stubborn melasma, you’ll likely need a stronger peel or a series of treatments.
Chemical peels work by removing damaged skin cells and stimulating new collagen production. That process helps fade hyperpigmentation and soften the appearance of shallow scars. For deeper, pitted scars, we might recommend combining peels with other treatments for better results.
We’re honest about what’s realistic. If a peel isn’t the best option for your specific concern, we’ll tell you. Our goal is to give you a treatment plan that actually works, not just sell you a service.
Pricing varies based on the type of peel and the area being treated, but we believe in transparent pricing with no hidden fees. During your complimentary consultation, we’ll give you an exact cost based on the treatment plan we create for you.
Light peels are generally more affordable and can be done more frequently. Medium and deep peels cost more but deliver more dramatic results. We also offer discounts for new clients, military members, nurses, and first responders, and we participate in the Allē rewards program so you can earn points toward future treatments.
What matters more than the upfront cost is the value. You’re paying for board-certified oversight, customized formulations, follow-up care, and a team that knows how to get results without damaging your skin. Cheaper peels exist, but they often come with less experienced providers and no real plan for aftercare or complications.
Absolutely. We customize every chemical peel based on your skin type, sensitivity level, and tolerance. If you have sensitive skin, we’ll likely start with a gentler formulation like a lactic acid peel, which is known for being effective without causing excessive irritation.
During your consultation, we’ll do a thorough skin assessment and ask about any previous reactions you’ve had to skincare products or treatments. If there’s any concern about how your skin will respond, we can do a test spot before proceeding with a full-face treatment.
Sensitive skin doesn’t disqualify you from getting a peel. It just means we need to be more strategic about the type of peel we use and how we prepare your skin beforehand. The goal is to improve your skin, not inflame it.
Most people notice smoother, brighter skin within a week after peeling has finished. But full results—especially improvements in texture, tone, and fine lines—continue to develop over the next few weeks as new collagen forms and skin cells turn over.
If you’re getting a light peel, you might see a subtle glow within a few days. Medium-depth peels take longer to show their full effect because the skin is healing from a deeper level. Deep peels can take several weeks before final results are visible.
For ongoing concerns like acne scars or sun damage, a series of peels spaced several weeks apart usually delivers the best outcome. We’ll map that out during your consultation so you know what to expect and when.
A facial is a relaxing, surface-level treatment focused on cleansing, exfoliating, and hydrating the skin. A chemical peel is a medical-grade treatment that uses controlled acids to remove damaged layers of skin and trigger a healing response that improves texture, tone, and firmness.
Facials are great for maintenance and immediate refreshment. Chemical peels are better for addressing specific skin concerns like hyperpigmentation, fine lines, acne scars, and sun damage. The results from a peel are more dramatic and longer-lasting, but they also require more downtime and aftercare.
At House of Ness, we combine both approaches. After your chemical peel has healed, we often recommend medical-grade skincare and periodic maintenance treatments to protect and extend your results. It’s not one or the other—it’s about using the right treatment at the right time for your skin goals.
