Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are exfoliating solutions customized for different skin types and concerns.A chemical peel involves applying a chemical solution to your face to remove damaged skin cells and stimulate a fresher, younger-looking complexion. When the dull, damaged surface layer of your skin is removed, new, healthier cells grow in its place. Chemical peels can address a variety of skin concerns, including fine lines and wrinkles, acne, scars, uneven skin tone/ hyperpigmentation, and other skin imperfections.
Different types of chemical peels use various acids, some stronger than others. Our practitioners will help you understand the differences and suggest the peel that works best for your skin type and concerns.
