Chemical Peel in Fredericksburg, VA
What Is A Chemical Peel?
To provide the highest quality results from chemical peel treatments, Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg provides you with options. Your medical-grade chemical peel with exfoliating solutions (such as salicylic, glycolic, lactic, and trichloroacetic acids) will give you healthier, smoother skin. At our Fredericksburg, VA practice, plastic surgeons Dr. Howard Heppe, Dr. Harold Bautista, and Dr. Pejman Aflaki offer chemical peel treatments that resolve skin abnormalities, including wrinkles, scars, fine lines, dry patches, hyperpigmentation problems, and more. Chemical peels remove damaged, dead skin cells by applying a specific solution on the skin, which causes the upper layer to slough off. As your skin recovers and starts to repair and rejuvenate itself, you will notice a smoother, clearer complexion. A chemical peel facial is a noninvasive method to make your complexion radiant and is used for the neck and face.
How Is a Chemical Peel Performed?
At your appointment at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg, we will have you lying in a comfortable position to administer your treatment. A team member will ensure the skin is cleaned before applying the customized solution to your face and/or neck. We will spread the solution onto the skin and allow it to work for a specific amount of time determined in your treatment consultation. Finally, we will clean the solution off your skin and put on a neutralizing agent. Patients should bring light sunscreen or a hat to wear outside after the peel to protect from UV exposure.

Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg Reviews
On August 21st I under went surgery, tummy tuck and lipo 360… I did a lot of research and decided to go with Dr. Aflaki, I followed him on social media and looked out for reviews from other patients of his, for about 6 months before deciding to go forward. I was always amazed at his work and I am very happy I chose him…Dr. Aflaki was very professional, he went over so much with me that I never felt in the dark. I went into surgery very confidently having him as my Dr. He is also pleasant to be around, check ups always went very smooth, always felt comfortable and take care of. His staff was also wonderful to me and made sure my caretaker knew everything he needed to know to care for me after surgery. I am overall very happy with the outcome! My results are amazing! My pre-surgery video was taken Aug 21st, the morning of surgery. My post-surgery photo was taken 2 months and 2 weeks. I feel great, physically and mentally!! Thank you so much Dr. Aflaki and his team at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg!
When researching doctors for my rhinoplasty. I visited with a couple of different plastic surgeons that specialize in rhinoplasties but Dr. Aflaki was the obvious choice from the first consult. He took his time explaining everything and removing all doubts about the procedure which made me feel incredibly relieved and more confident to move forward. I ended up having a rhinoplasty and the procedure itself was so much easier than I could have imagined. Recovery was a breeze and painless. which was surprising. I closely followed instructions from Dr.Aflaki everything went really smoothly. I was already feeling like myself after a few days. I’m just over 2 months post-op and am incredibly happy with the results. Dr. Aflaki is an amazing Dr. The changes to my appearance are exactly what I wanted and what we discussed during the consult. I been checking with him for two moths I can I sure you you are in good hands If choose you Dr. Aflaki!
Dr. Bautista is the Only One I Trust. - Dr. Bautista did my breast augmentation surgery in 2005, and I was extremely pleased with the results. I decided to go back to him in 2024 to have my breasts redone, since they were almost 20 years old. I had no issues with them, but I wanted to go a little bigger and Dr. Bautista is the only one I trust to do the surgery. In fact, I even followed up my breast surgery with cool sculpting and am very pleased with the those results as well. He and his staff are extremely professional and very pleasant to work with. I highly recommend him for any cosmetic needs you may have.
Procedure changed my life - Dr Heppe transferred body fat into my aging hands. He made sure I wasn’t in any pain, did it expediently and recovery was easy. I’m one hundred percent satisfied. I no longer feel the need to hide my “ugly old hand”. I am now feeling confident and free. Great job Dr. Heppe! Thank you.
My experience with Dr. Aflaki and everyone at Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg has been nothing short of amazing! From consultation to post-operative follow-ups, I have been in the very best hands. I am extremely pleased with my healing, recovery and results! Thank you, Dr. Aflaki, for changing my life!

Chemical Peel FAQ
How much does a chemical peel cost?
Dr. Heppe can discuss your costs in your consultation as soon as He has developed your custom treatment plan. Costs for a chemical peel will vary depending on the formula you get. Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg takes several payment methods, and you can ask about current specials on facial treatments like chemical peels. You may also consider buying a package of several chemical peel treatments.
What level should I choose for my chemical peel?
The best chemical peel for you will depend on your unique skin needs and cosmetic goals. In your initial consultation with Dr. Heppe, He will help you decide which peel is best for your skin. Some factors you may consider are your general health, the type of skin you have, how deep you want the peel to work, how long you can spend in recovery, and what you want the peel to accomplish. Initially, it's better to select a lighter chemical peel and decide what you think of the results. After this, you and Dr. Heppe may adjust your treatment plan to discover the best type of peel for your skin.
Should I get a chemical peel or dermabrasion treatment?
Dermabrasion and chemical peels are both facial treatments that treat surface imperfections to make your skin a softer appearance. The main difference is that dermabrasion requires surgical tools (a rotating brush or shaving instrument) to remove the surface skin layer with a careful scraping process. A chemical peel applies a caustic solution to your skin to dissolve damaged skin cells. In your initial consultation, Dr. Heppe will explain the pros and cons of both options and help you decide if a chemical peel or dermabrasion is better for achieving your needs and goals.
Will my face hurt after a chemical peel?
Based on the chemicals used, you may feel some discomfort throughout the treatment and shortly after. If you choose a light peel, you may notice some stinging, but it goes away quickly with the use of a small fan. Deep or medium peels are good for deeper damage and offer results that last a long time; however, they typically cause greater discomfort. Topical anesthetics, medications, and ointments may be applied to help you feel more comfortable during your treatment. Dr. Heppe or a member of His team will go over post-treatment skin care 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 Plastic Surgery Services of Fredericksburg. During your consultation, be honest with Dr. Heppe when describing your skin issues so He can create a personalized treatment plan that delivers your best results. This might include an injectable treatment for wrinkles (such as BOTOX® or JUVÉDERM®) along with your chemical peel to refresh your whole appearance.
