Chemical peels gently exfoliate the skin to improve tone and texture while promoting healthy skin renewal, revealing a brighter, smoother, and more youthful-looking complexion.
A customized chemical solution—such as glycolic, salicylic, lactic, or trichloroacetic acid—is carefully applied to the skin. The solution gently exfoliates the outer layers of the skin, stimulating healthy skin renewal and revealing fresher, smoother skin beneath. The strength and depth of the peel are customized based on your skin type, concerns, and treatment goals, whether you are addressing acne, signs of aging, or pigmentation concerns.
Chemical peels can improve skin tone, texture, and uneven pigmentation while promoting a smoother, more refreshed complexion. Temporary redness, dryness, peeling, and sensitivity are common during the healing process.
Most patients return to their normal daily activities shortly after treatment. Results continue to improve as the skin heals, and a series of treatments may be recommended to achieve optimal results.
