Chemical Peels in Statesboro, GA
Reveal brighter, smoother skin beneath the surface, at our Statesboro office on Merchant Way.
Chemical Peels for Statesboro Patients
Sun spots, dull patches, the fine lines that show up in the mirror on an ordinary morning and seem to have arrived overnight. A chemical peel treats what is already sitting on the surface of your skin. A chemical solution is applied to cause controlled exfoliation, removing the damaged outer layer so that fresher, more even-toned skin can come forward. Peels range from light to deep, and the depth you choose shapes both what the peel can reach and how much recovery it asks of you.
For patients in Statesboro and throughout Bulloch County, the whole visit happens at our office on Merchant Way, with no trip to Savannah required. Your skincare provider examines your skin closely and recommends a depth suited to you, from a gentle glycolic peel to a deeper TCA peel, working under the supervision of Dr. Meghan McGovern, a board-certified plastic surgeon. A light peel takes about 30 minutes. A deeper peel may call for preparation and numbing beforehand.
Chemical peels at RenewalMD cost $150 to $500, depending on the type and depth of peel chosen. Downtime ranges from 1 to 7 days: mild redness for a day or two after a light peel, peeling for 3 to 5 days after a medium peel, and up to 7 days of healing after a deep peel. Results become visible within 1 to 2 weeks, as fresher skin comes forward. Individual results vary.

What to Expect
A chemical peel works by controlled exfoliation: it removes the damaged outer layers so fresher, smoother, more even-toned skin can come forward. We offer every level, from a light peel you can have over lunch to a deeper peel that reaches further. Dr. McGovern's team will help you choose.
Ideal Candidates
For sun damage, uneven tone, fine lines, acne scarring, or dull skin, when you want visible improvement.
The Consultation
Your skincare provider will look closely at your skin and recommend the right depth for you, from a gentle glycolic peel to a deeper TCA peel.
The Treatment
The visit is simple: a chemical solution is applied to the skin to cause controlled exfoliation. A light peel takes 30 minutes. A deeper peel may call for preparation and numbing beforehand.
After Treatment
With a light peel, expect mild redness for 1 to 2 days. A medium peel brings peeling for 3 to 5 days. A deep peel asks for up to 7 days of healing. What follows is fresh, glowing skin.
Artistry Meets Precision
We offer a full spectrum of chemical peels — from gentle maintenance peels to deeper corrective treatments.
Our team matches peel type and depth to your specific skin concerns, skin type, and acceptable downtime.
Plan Your Downtime
Deeper peels (phenol and TCA) cause redness and blistering of the treated areas. Ointment is the centerpiece of your aftercare.
Ointment, gentle washing, and oozing
Deeper peels cause redness and blistering. If drainage occurs, it usually lasts for 2 or 3 days only. Sleep on your back with your head and feet elevated.
Do this
- Coat the treated areas with a light covering of Aquaphor or Vaseline two or three times daily. It's a soothing astringent that reduces discomfort and helps prevent crusts.
- Wash your hands before touching your face, and again after.
- Wash the peeled areas with a mild cleanser, water, and your fingertips as desired. Pat dry, then reapply the ointment very lightly.
- Pat any drainage with gauze sponges and wash as needed.
- Drink plenty of fluids to maintain hydration.
- Get up and walk four or five times a day.
Avoid
- Do not sleep on your face at all.
- Avoid scratching or picking the treated areas — that may cause infection or scarring.
- Do not smoke.
- Do not sit with knees bent and feet on the floor.
- Avoid long automobile trips or flights.

Why Statesboro Patients Choose RenewalMD
Everything happens on Merchant Way
Your consultation and your peel both take place at the Statesboro office. There is no drive to Savannah for this treatment, which matters if you are coming from Metter, Claxton, or Vidalia after work.
A peel matched to your skin
Not every peel is the same, and yours should not be chosen off a menu. Your provider looks at your skin type, your concerns, and how much downtime you can give, then recommends a depth from light glycolic to deeper TCA.
Downtime sized to the depth
A light peel can mean mild redness for a day or two, closer to a lunch-break treatment. A medium or deep peel asks for more, up to 7 days of peeling and healing, which is worth planning around before you book.
Built for repeat visits
Light peels can be done monthly, which fits a Statesboro schedule of regular upkeep rather than a single large event. Medium peels space out every 3 to 6 months, deep peels once or twice a year.
Chemical peels at RenewalMD are performed by trained skincare providers working under the supervision of Dr. Meghan McGovern, a board-certified plastic surgeon, who sees Statesboro patients at the Merchant Way office.
