Chemical Peels
Benefits and Uses
The ultimate exfoliation experience which helps reduce fine lines, pigmentation, acne, and oily skin. Peels can vary from mild “lunch time peels” to more aggressive treatments. Peels result in an overall improvement in the appearance of aging skin. The chemicals produce a separation and peeling of the outer layers of the skin, this stimulates the production of new skin from beneath. It encourages shedding of the surface layers to reveal a new layer which looks healthier, brighter, less mottled, and feels softer.
These treatments can be performed on the face, neck, chest, hands and even the arms and legs. These treatments can improve your complexion and help restore a more youthful look. Chemical peels can help restore sun damaged, wrinkled, blemished, acne scarred or blotchy skin to its original youthful appearance, achieving a smoother, more even tone and texture.
