Chemical Peels
What is a Chemical Peel?
Chemical peels involve applying a chemical solution to the desired treatment area to remove the outer layers
of skin thus producing smoother, more even toned skin, and decreased acne. After a thorough evaluation
of the patient's skin type and needs, the aesthetician will determine the appropriate type and frequency of
the peel to achieve the desired results.
Indications
* Acne
* Sun damage
* Fine lines
* Acne scars
* Age spots
* Freckles
* Dull-looking skin
What types of Chemical Peels are available?
Our chemical peels are characterized by light to moderate penetration of the outer layers of damaged skin, with minimal to no discomfort, risk of scarring, or lengthy downtime. The deep peels of the past are outdated due to the amount of downtime and unpredictable results. Light to medium peels, however, are an excellent tool for rejuvenating and restoring the skin's natural glow. Several types of chemical peels are available including alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs), salicylic acid (BHA), or light "lunch-hour" peels including glycolic, lactic, and fruit acid peels (AHA). Our chemical peels brighten the complexion, minimize pore size, balance skin pigmentation, reduce fine wrinkles, produce new skin cells, diminish some types of acne and acne scars, and/or improve sun-damaged skin.
