Chemical Peel
Reveal a Fresher You
What is a Chemical Peel?
A Chemical Peel is a treatment which removes dead skin cells to reveal fresher, more youthful looking skin underneath. A chemical solution is applied that sloughs off the surface level of skin which shows the most damage. This treatment is non-invasive and will improve the overall texture and appearance of your skin. A chemical peel is a safe and effective way to exfoliate the skin to remove accumulated dead skin cells, oil, and other toxins.
A chemical peel can have great results for people of all skin types and conditions. The results will be even greater through a series of sessions or when combined with other treatments.

Tightening Effect
As a new layer of skin grows after the treatment, collagen and elastin are activated which results in skin tightening. This leads to less fine lines and wrinkles, and more plump, smooth skin overall.
Reduce Acne
The top layer of skin is also where most acne, acne scars, and other blemishes occur. By removing this superficial layer you will see a smoother, better textured complexion revealed. In addition the common causes of acne (oil, dead skin) will be exfoliated away, making it less likely that new acne will form.
