CHEMICAL PEEL
Chemical peels work by exfoliating the top layers of dead skin. As we age, our skin slows down its cellular turn over rate causing a build up of dead skin cells and we start to lose that youthful glow. Environmental damages and hormonal changes to the skin begin to manifest through increased hyperpigmentation (darks spots), fine lines and wrinkles, and dull/uneven skin. Chemical peels help reveal the newer, smoother, and brighter skin underneath*. Chemical peels help improve and correct conditions such as:
- Fine lines
- Uneven tone and texture
- Rough dull skin
- Sun damaged skin
- Acne prone skin
- Hyperpigmentation and melasma
- Dark spots from acne
- Congested skin
Our Chemical peels range from superficial to medium depth. They are customizable for sensitive skin, dull/uneven skin, aging skin, and acne prone skin. Mild flaking may be experienced for 3-4 days with some of these peels. When seeking to correct skin issues, a series of 6 peels is recommended. Chemical peels are great for people that desire to:
- Experience little to no flaking and peeling of the skin*
- Improve tone, texture and clarity of the skin*
- Reduce age spots and hyperpigmentation*
- Soften fine lines and wrinkles*
- Clear acne and fade marks from old acne*
- Stimulate collagen for firmer skin*
- Maintain skin health in between other treatments*
- Have a refreshed and glowing complexion*
The TCA (trichloroacetic acid) peel is the most aggressive peel we offer. Moderate to intense peeling will be experienced for 7-10 days. It will provide intense correction for conditions such as:
- Fine lines and wrinkles*
- Severe sun damage*
- Melasma*
- Hyperpigmentation*
*Our Chemcial Peels also include a dermaplane service.
