Why Fall and Winter Are a Great Time to Have a Chemical Peel
- Posted on: Nov 15 2025
Chemical peels are a proven way to refresh the skin by improving tone, texture, and clarity. At American Dermatology Associates in Sarasota, Dr. Jennifer Plush offers the VI Peel®, a medical-grade chemical peel that addresses concerns such as fine lines, acne, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage. While patients can benefit from chemical peels year-round, fall and winter are often considered the best times to schedule treatment.
Why Cooler Seasons Work Best
After a chemical peel, your skin becomes more sensitive to sunlight as it heals and regenerates. Sun exposure can increase the risk of irritation or uneven pigmentation during the recovery process. With shorter days, milder UV levels, and less time spent outdoors, the cooler months provide the perfect environment for safe healing and optimal results. Furthermore, scheduling a peel in fall or winter allows you to enjoy refreshed, radiant skin in time for spring and summer events.
Benefits of the VI Peel®
The VI Peel is designed for a wide range of skin types and offers several key benefits:
- Smooths fine lines and wrinkles
- Reduces acne and acne scarring
- Lightens age spots and sun damage
- Improves overall skin clarity and tone
- Promotes collagen stimulation for long-term improvement
Unlike some traditional peels that involve significant downtime, the VI Peel is known for being more comfortable and producing manageable peeling within a few days.
What to Expect After a VI Peel
Following treatment, you will most likely experience mild redness and peeling, which typically begins a few days after the procedure. This process typically lasts less than a week, during which time the damaged outer layer of skin naturally sheds. As new, healthy cells emerge, your skin looks brighter, smoother, and more even. Dr. Plush provides detailed post-care instructions, including the use of specialized skincare products and strict sun protection, to maximize results.
Combining Peels with Other Treatments
The fall and winter months are also a great time to pair chemical peels with other treatments such as laser skin resurfacing or injectables. By combining therapies, you can achieve more comprehensive rejuvenation while minimizing the risk of sun-related complications during recovery.
