What is a chemical peel?
We apply a chemical solution to your skin that will rejuvenate your complexion and address various skin concerns.
Don’t worry I know just saying “A chemical solution is applied to you skin” sounds scary! It’s not as intimidating as it might sound. There are many different types of chemical peels, they range from gentle superficial peels, to medium - depth peels, to deeper peel treatments. This means we can work our way up!
Superficial Chemical Peels: Light peels that remove the surface of your skin called the epidermis. This is good for fine lines, acne, and uneven skin tone.
Medium depth chemical peels: These effect the epidermis up to the top of the dermis. Perfect for post inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and more prominate fine lines and wrinkles.
Deep Chemical peels: Most of the time you’ll get these at a Doctors office or with your dermatologist.
Peels are great for bring life back to your skin, making it brighter and more youthful in appearance. They work by removing dead skin cells, refining rough texture, uneven skin tone, sun damage, fine lines, acne, and a plethora of other skin concerns you might be struggling with.
