Contact UsWhat is a Chemical Peel?
Our Newport Beach practice offers top-notch chemical peel treatments to improve the overall health and look of your skin. At SSK Plastic Surgery, we understand that your skin is exposed to harmful environmental elements everyday. This can lead to skin damage, such as sun spots, dryness, or uneven pigmentation. Treating yourself to a professional skin care treatment, such as a chemical peel, can bring significant improvement. A chemical peel is ideal if you have rough skin texture, wrinkles, and scars. During your treatment, a customized peel solution will be applied to your face and/or neck to remove the very top layer of skin. The results will leave you with smoother, clearer-looking skin. Board-certified Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Sean Kelishadi looks forward to speaking with you at his practice in Newport Beach, CA.
Types of Chemical Peels
At our office, we offer chemical peels in different strengths (light, medium, and deep chemical peels) to accommodate our patient's skincare needs.
Light peels: You can have a light chemical peel on a lunch hour and go right back to your day. This type of peel will remove the top layer of your skin (the epidermis), giving your facial features a brighter appearance, and softer texture. We may suggest that you schedule a light peel at least once a month for best results.
Medium-depth peels: This type of chemical peel goes deeper into your skin, and you may prefer to do this type of facial rejuvenation treatment over a long weekend. You may also want to prepare yourself for more discomfort during and about an hour after treatment. Medium-depth peels are for patients, who have significant damage to their skin, deeper wrinkles, and darker pigmentation issues to correct.
Deep peels: The most advanced of the 3 types of chemical peels is the deep peel, and it will require the longest recovery time. This is an aggressive treatment that may leave your face swollen, itchy, and peeling for a few weeks. Patients, who have a deep peel, usually have dark age spots, sun-damaged skin, entrenched acne scars, and/or deep-seated scars. As this type of peel is generally not pleasant to have without some sort of numbing agent, we may provide you with anesthetic as a part of your treatment.
What are the Benefits of a Chemical Peel?
Patients choose to undergo chemical peels for a multitude of reasons. Treatment is beneficial for those looking to reduce a wide range of cosmetic issues that make their skin appear less than ideal. Plus, peels are far less intensive than other kinds of therapies and tend to last longer. SSK Plastic Surgery is proud to offer the following advantages with chemical peels:
- Fewer lines and wrinkles
- Improve skin tone and texture
- Diminish the appearance of age spots and freckles
- Reduce pore size
- Reduce or eliminate acne scars
- Improve hyperpigmentation
- Brighten dull skin and improve elasticity
SSK Plastic Surgery Reviews
Dr. Kelishadi is amazing!!! He made me feel so comfortable! I had Breast Augmentation May 26th. I'm three months out and loving my results! I was very self conscious about my chest. My breasts shrunk due to breast feeding. I didn't even want to change in front of my husband. (he loved them no matter what lol) and now I am feeling so great about it! He said he's even noticed a boost in my confidence level. I love it! i feel good..i feel sexy. I never thought I would actually go through with getting this done, but Dr. Kelishadi and his staff helped me with every step of the way. He was very caring and checked up on me after surgery. His staff was very nice as well. All so helpful! I highly recommend him!
Words cannot describe how grateful I am to have met the SSK team. I initially started with the med spa team at SSK and knew that I needed to do a breast augmentation consultation there as well. From beginning to end, every single doctor/nurse and even Valerie at the front desk, involved in my procedures reached out giving clear instructions and also daily check-ins after my breast aug surgery. Their patient care is beyond incredible. The team gives you all of the instructions pre and post op, and they even go as far as giving you a sweet post op bag including the cutest, softest, coziest jump suit to wear into and out of the hospital on surgery day. I am so so pleased with the team’s attention to detail, but more importantly, they are an exceptional care team you want and need! Thank you SSK! -Steph
I recently had a breast revision/augmentation with a lift by Dr Kelishadi and I couldn’t have asked for a better surgeon! He is known as the King of Cleavage and definitely lives up to the name. His staff is friendly, professional, and prompt to answer calls and respond to emails. It was also super nice and convenient having Dr Sherry as part of the team helping with all the medications ordered. On my pre op visit, I was given a bag with all the medications I would need for my surgery and recovery. Dr Sherry would text and make sure I didn’t have any questions which was so appreciated. After my surgery, Dr Kelishadi would call and check in to make sure I was doing well. If I had a questions or concerns, Dr Kelishadi would promptly call and answer all the questions I had. He is genuinely a great person and an amazing Surgeon that I would highly recommend.
I recently underwent a transformative experience at SSK Plastic Surgery, having a tummy tuck, muscle repair, and liposuction in the flanks and back. Being a mom to a 10 month old, I was pretty anxious about this procedure but right from my initial consultation, I was confident that I was in the hands of professionals who truly care. Now, just 3 days post-op, I caught a glimpse of my results and I’m beyond thrilled! Dr. Kalishadi’s skillful work has exceeded my expectations.On the day of the surgery, the entire team’s kindness helped alleviate any pre-surgery jitters. Dr. Kalishadi went above and beyond by personally reaching out to check on my recovery. Overall, my experience has been nothing short of amazing, and I couldn’t have chosen a better place for my procedure. I wholeheartedly recommend SSK Plastic Surgery to anyone seeking outstanding results and genuine care. Also shout out to Dr. Sherry, Valerie and Brianna who were also lovely! Thank you all so much!
I recently underwent a breast revision procedure at SSK Plastic Surgery, and I must say that my experience far exceeded my expectations. From start to finish, the entire journey was seamless, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results. Here’s why I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Kelishadi for anyone considering breast revision: Dr. Kelishadi is an exceptional plastic surgeon. From the initial consultation to the post-surgery follow-ups, Dr. Kelishadi displayed remarkable expertise and a genuine care for my well-being. He took the time to listen to and provided me with detailed explanations of the procedure. The entire team at SSK Plastic Surgery was welcoming, friendly and professional. They made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process, and their knowledge and expertise to my needs were remarkable. One aspect that truly impressed me was the personalized approach they took throughout the entire journey. I even worked with Dr. Sherrie for my hormones prior to surgery and needless to say I feel much better now. I felt that she too was invested in my overall health. Lastly, when it came to deciding the appropriate size for my revision, I had to place my trust in Dr. Kelishadi’s expertise and technique. I discussed my desired goals with him, and he carefully assessed my body proportions, existing breast tissue and overall aesthetic balance. Although I had initial apprehension about relinquishing control over to the size decision, I am thrilled to say that I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. The size chosen by Dr. Kelishadi was absolutely perfect! I would highly recommend SSK Plastic Surgery!

Who is a candidate for a chemical peel?
Seeking the advice of a medical professional to have great skin is the first step in the journey to smooth, healthy skin. Patients with fair skin make the best candidates for a chemical peel, however, we can assess your skin in an examination in our office. We will also ask about your medical background before proceeding with a chemical peel treatment for optimal results. Chemical peel candidates, both men and women, will have noticeable issues with their skin, such as acne scars, rough patches, flaky skin, discoloration, sun spots, fine lines, and much more. Depending on the tone of your skin, we can suggest different levels of chemical peels to meet your needs.
What to expect during a chemical peel
On the day of your chemical peel appointment in our office, we will have you lying down in a relaxed position to administer your treatment. We will make sure your skin is cleansed before administering the customized solution to your face and/or neck. We will brush the solution on your face and let it set for a specific amount of time, which will be discussed in your treatment planning session. Then, we will wash the solution off your face and apply a neutralizing agent to the skin. You may want to bring a light sunscreen and a hat to wear outside after the treatment to avoid sun exposure.

Chemical Peel FAQs
Should I get a chemical peel or dermabrasion treatment?
Both dermabrasion and chemical peels are facial treatments that address surface imperfections to rejuvenate your skin. The difference is that dermabrasion uses surgical tools (a rotating brush or shaving instrument ) to clear away the surface skin layer through a careful scraping process. A chemical peel applies a caustic solution to your skin to dissolve damaged skin cells. During your consultation, Dr. Sean Kelishadi will explain the pros and cons of both options and help you decide whether a chemical peel or dermabrasion is better for achieving your skin goals.
Will my face hurt after a chemical peel?
Based on the peel used, you might have some discomfort during and shortly after your peel. If you have a light peel, you will notice a little stinging, but it goes away quickly with the use of a handheld fan. Deep or medium peels are good for deeper problems and offer results that last a long time; however, they are usually more uncomfortable. Numbing cream, skin medications, and soothing ointments can be applied to help you feel more comfortable during the chemical peel. Dr. Sean Kelishadi or a member of his team will talk to you about skincare after your chemical peel to help your skin heal.
Can I combine a chemical peel with other treatments?
A chemical peel may be combined with another nonsurgical skin treatment at SSK Plastic Surgery. In your consultation, we recommend being open with Dr. Sean Kelishadi about your skin issues so he can create a comprehensive treatment plan to address your goals best. This might include an injectable treatment for wrinkles ( such as BOTOX or Juvéderm ) and your chemical peel to refresh your appearance.
