Chemical Peels

A chemical peel involves applying a chemical solution to the skin, which causes the outer layers to peel off. This process stimulates the growth of new skin cells, leaving you with brighter, softer skin that has fewer visible imperfections.  

Chemical peels are highly effective in addressing various concerns such as fine lines, wrinkles, acne, enlarged pores, skin laxity, discoloration, scarring (including acne scars), and other textural issues.  

Chemical peels are nonsurgical and noninvasive, and typically considered safe. 

You are an ideal candidate for a chemical peel if you have acne and acne scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, or enlarged pores.  

Before your treatment appointment, refrain from direct sun exposure for at least two weeks. Additionally, avoid waxing, threading, or electrolysis in the treatment area for at least one week. 

You can choose a light or deep peel, depending on how much exfoliation you need for optimal results. Whether your skin concerns are eliminating acne or fine lines, or erasing persistent pigmentation, chemical peels can be tailored to fit your needs.
