CHEMICAL PEELS

There are two types of Chemical Peels: Superficial and Deep

Chemical peels use potent chemicals (glycolic acid, lactic acid, trichloroacetic acid, phenol salicylic acid and or resorcinol) to dissolve the top layer of skin. This process can erase irregular pigmentation, mild acne scars, crow’s feet, fine cheek wrinkles and those tiny vertical lines above the upper lip. Chemical peels are also an approved method of treating acne.

After a deep peel, there could be minor to moderate irritation, some redness, flaking, or peeling, depending upon the strength of the peel. Your healthcare professional will instruct you on proper skincare after your treatment. After the skin heals, the result is pinker, tighter, smoother and relatively wrinkle and blemish-free skin.

A superficial peel is a refreshing facial, leaving the skin glowing and healthy. This procedure also aids in the regeneration of collagen (the skin’s supportive tissue) that is often lost to age and sun exposure.
