Reveal Brighter, Healthier Skin: The Benefits of Chemical Peels
By Mālama Dermatology | Honolulu, HI
If you’re looking for a way to refresh dull skin, smooth uneven texture, or soften signs of sun damage, chemical peels remain one of the most effective, dermatologist-recommended treatments available today. At Mālama Dermatology in Honolulu, Dr. Shelbi Jim On offers modern, customizable peels designed for Hawaiʻi’s unique climate—and the unique needs of kamaʻāina and visitors alike.
Chemical peels are safe, controlled exfoliating treatments that help remove the outermost layer of damaged skin to reveal a smoother, clearer, more radiant complexion. Whether you want a light “lunchtime peel” or a targeted treatment for pigmentation or fine lines, peels can be tailored for your skin type and goals.
Why Chemical Peels Are Especially Helpful in Hawaiʻi
Hawaiʻi’s abundant sunshine is wonderful—but it also increases the risk of:
- Sun spots and uneven pigmentation
- Fine lines
- Rough texture
- Acne flare-ups
- Early signs of aging
Chemical peels can help repair this damage and reset the skin for a healthier, brighter appearance.
“Living in Hawaiʻi means our skin experiences more UV exposure year-round,” says Dr. Shelbi Jim On. “Chemical peels are one of the most reliable ways to safely rejuvenate sun-exposed skin and restore a natural, healthy glow.”
What Chemical Peels Can Improve
Chemical peels can be an excellent option for treating:
- Uneven pigmentation & melasma
- Acne and post-acne marks
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Sun damage
- Rough or uneven skin texture
- Dullness
- Enlarged pores
Depending on the depth of the peel, patients may experience results quickly—or enjoy deeper transformation over a series of visits.
Types of Chemical Peels We Offer
At Mālama Dermatology, chemical peels are customized for your skin’s needs. Options may include:
Light Peels (AHA/BHA peels)
Gentle exfoliation with minimal downtime—perfect for brightening and smoothing.
Medium Peels
Target pigmentation, acne scarring, sun damage, and deeper texture issues.
Advanced Cosmetic Peels
Ideal for those seeking more dramatic rejuvenation and longer-lasting results.
“Some of my favorite results come from patients who struggled with melasma or stubborn pigmentation,” Dr. Shelbi notes. “After a series of well-planned peels, their confidence blossoms. Seeing someone love their skin again is one of the best parts of my job.”
What to Expect During Your Appointment
A chemical peel appointment typically includes:
- Skin evaluation with Dr. Shelbi Jim On
- Selection of the ideal peel type for your goals
- Application of the peel (usually 10–20 minutes)
- Post-care instructions and skincare recommendations
Most people return to normal activities right away, especially after light peels. Medium peels may involve several days of controlled “peeling” as the skin renews itself.
How Many Peels Do You Need?
Many patients benefit from a series of 3–6 peels, spaced several weeks apart.
Others simply enjoy a seasonal peel for ongoing skin maintenance.
“We love when patients commit to a series,” says Dr. Shelbi. “The transformation is gradual, healthy, and incredibly rewarding—your skin becomes smoother, clearer, and brighter with every visit.”
Are Chemical Peels Safe for Sensitive or Melanin-Rich Skin?
Absolutely—with the right expertise.
Dr. Shelbi is highly experienced in treating diverse skin tones, ensuring:
✔ Safe peel selection
✔ Gentle application
✔ Customized after-care
✔ Long-term protection from pigmentation issues
