Why Gandhi Health & Wellness
A medical approach to skin renewal
Chemical peels work best when matched precisely to your skin. Our practitioner-guided approach means your peel is selected based on clinical assessment, not guesswork.
Practitioner-guided protocols
Every peel protocol is reviewed and prescribed by our physician, Dr. Gandhi, alongside her dedicated team of practitioners. Your skin type, Fitzpatrick scale, and active concerns all factor into peel selection.
Measured outcomes
We set clear skin goals before treatment and track progress across sessions, so you can see what's changing and why. Objective documentation is part of every protocol.
Integrated skin health
We look at your skin in the context of your whole health, including hormones, nutrition, and lifestyle, because internal factors drive many skin concerns that peels alone cannot fully resolve.
How it works:
A structured process from assessment to results

A structured process from assessment to results
Skin assessment
We review your skin type, Fitzpatrick classification, active concerns, history of prior treatments, medications that may affect healing, and any contraindications. This step determines whether a chemical peel is appropriate and which formulation fits your skin.
Protocol selection
Dr. Gandhi selects peel depth, acid type, and concentration based on the assessment. For some patients, a preparatory skincare regimen in the weeks before the peel improves outcomes and lowers the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
The peel treatment
The skin is cleansed and prepared, then the acid solution is applied in a controlled manner. Application time varies by formulation and depth. You may experience warmth, tingling, or mild stinging during the procedure. Most sessions take 30 to 60 minutes.
Recovery guidance
You receive specific aftercare instructions tailored to your peel depth, including what to apply, what to avoid, and what to expect during the days following treatment. Sun protection is essential throughout the healing period.
Follow-up and optimization
We track your skin’s response and refine the protocol for subsequent sessions. Many patients benefit from a series of peels scheduled at appropriate intervals rather than a single treatment.
Who It's For
Good candidates for chemical peels
Chemical peels work well for adults seeking measurable improvement in skin texture, tone, and the visible signs of aging or acne, when applied at the appropriate depth for their skin type and concerns.
- Uneven skin tone or texture
- Fine lines around the eyes and mouth
- Sun-damaged or photoaged skin
- Mild to moderate acne or acne scarring
- Melasma, hyperpigmentation, or dark spots
- Dull, rough, or congested skin
- Early signs of aging as a preventive measure
- Patients wanting a non-invasive resurfacing option
Not every peel is appropriate for every skin type. Patients with darker skin tones (Fitzpatrick IV through VI) require careful peel selection to minimize the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Deeper peels carry more risk and require longer recovery. Your physician assessment takes all of these factors into account before recommending any treatment. We do not proceed with a peel if the clinical picture does not support it.
Conditions that may affect candidacy
Active cold sores or skin infections, pregnancy, recent Accutane use, open wounds or active inflammatory skin conditions, and certain autoimmune conditions may be contraindications or require modified protocols. Disclose your full health history during your consultation.
Consultation Requirements
While initial consultations can be completed via telehealth. In-person visits are required for the peel treatment and follow-up skin assessments.
FAQs
How many treatments will I need?
It depends on your skin concern and peel depth. A single medium or deep peel can produce significant improvement. Superficial peels are often performed as a series of four to six treatments spaced two to four weeks apart. Dr. Gandhi will outline a realistic treatment plan at your consultation.
Are chemical peels painful?
Most patients describe a warming or tingling sensation during the peel, which subsides quickly after the solution is neutralized or removed. Deeper peels may cause more noticeable discomfort. We discuss what to expect for your specific peel before treatment.
Can I combine a chemical peel with other treatments?
Chemical peels can complement other aesthetic and wellness treatments, including our regenerative aesthetics and IV therapy offerings. However, combining modalities requires careful timing and medical judgment. Dr. Gandhi will advise on safe sequencing based on your full treatment plan.
Will my skin peel visibly after the treatment?
Superficial peels may cause subtle flaking or dryness that is easy to manage. Medium peels typically produce visible peeling and skin shedding over several days. Deep peels involve a more pronounced shedding phase. Peeling is part of the renewal process and should not be forced or picked.
How long do results last?
Results from a single treatment can last months, though ongoing sun exposure and aging continue to affect the skin. A maintenance plan with periodic superficial peels and a physician-recommended skincare regimen helps preserve and build on your results over time.

Dr. Kunal Gandhi is an exceptional doctor. From the moment I spoke to her, she made me feel truly heard and valued. She took the time to listen carefully to my concerns and addressed them with genuine care. I’m so grateful for her professionalism and the dedication she shows to my well-being. Since starting treatment with her, I’ve felt a noticeable improvement and couldn’t be more thankful.

Dr. Gandhi is amazing to work with. She’s very attentive, detailed, and caring, always making you feel respected, heard, and understood. I’ve had a few major health issues that no one else could really figure out, and I luckily found Dr. Gandhi a few years ago. She has really turned me around and gotten me back to feeling like myself. I couldn’t recommend anyone more, and I’m so happy to have found her.
Adri Cast
I’m so grateful for Dr. Gandhi and her exceptional care. She was able to fit me in for a last-minute IV with multivitamins when I wasn’t feeling well, and her kindness and attentiveness immediately put me at ease. She took the time to thoroughly listen to my concerns, explain my options, and provide a treatment plan that helped me start feeling better right away. Her deep knowledge and experience were evident in every step of the visit. It’s rare to find a doctor who is both so thorough and genuinely caring—highly recommend her to anyone looking for a functional medicine physician who truly puts patients first.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Gandhi. Her background of being an MD combined with her holistic medicine approach is unique and amazing. She truly cares about her patients and does a comprehensive approach to health , wellness and optimization. Her range of knowledge of dietary improvements combined with bloodwork analysis and supplements is incredible. In our year and a half together, my lab results have improved dramatically and more importantly so has my quality of life. On top of that her staff is amazing and she is incredibly responsive. Five stars all the way!

After another doctor couldn't help me, I found Dr. Gandhi. She really listened to my symptoms and looked over all my medical history. She ended up coming up with a treatment plan that I started immediately. Dr. Gandhi explained everything clearly and checked my progress often, which really made me feel safe under her care. Her kindness and dedication stood out! I highly recommend Dr. Gandhi for her expertise and compassionate care. She truly made a difference in my health and well-being. Thank you, Dr. Gandhi!
Branko Angjeleski
My life changed since i stepped in the office of Dr. Gandhi. Before arriving there i thought that i’m healthy but my lab results didn’t agree with that. Dr. Gandhi went thoroughly through my results and suggested different supplements for my gut health, low energy that i was experiencing for the 2nd half of the day and she suggested some lifestyle changes like cold plunging, walking daily, which really helped with my mood swings. I’m patient for more than 6 months and i’m noticing such a tremendous difference. Grateful for her and her team who are always smiling and spreading positive energy. Cannot recommend it enough. Thank you Gandhi Health and Wellness team!

Dr Gandhi is a Godsend. She meticulously reviews a patients history and then prepares a course of action. Multiple physicians over several years couldn’t figure out a plan or diagnosis but here I am after a few short months with Dr Gandhi and I’m LIVING MY BEST LIFE at 60!!! She basically gave me back my life and I will be forever grateful. She is a healer!!!!

In having shared patients with Dr. Gandhi, it is obvious how passionate she is about her work and helping her patients regain their wellness. Her patients tell me first hand how much time she spends with them, how knowledgeable she is and how they feel for the first time, a doctor is truly invested in helping them get better. I would highly recommend Dr. Gandhi to any of my patients, particularly those who are struggling to find solutions to their health problems. She is one of a kind!
