Chemical Peels
Refresh And Renew The Skin
How Do Chemical Peels Work?
The acid solution creates a reaction on the skin’s surface which is safely controlled by your skin care professional. They will “neutralize” or stop the reaction with a buffer solution once the chemical peel has reached the desired level for your treatment. This process creates a safe way for the skin to naturally repair itself, allowing for fresh new skin to be revealed after the dead skin sloths off.

Refresh and Renew the Skin
A chemical peel is an acid solution applied to your skin to exfoliate the skin’s surface. This will reduce the appearance of blemishes, superficial age spots, improve the skin’s texture, and improve your overall complexion.

Treatment Process
Chemical peels are usually done in a series of 3-6 treatments depending on the depth of the peel and the desired outcome. Superficial peels may require more treatments in a series than deeper peels.
Once your skin starts regenerating and creating new skin the dead skin will begin to flake. it is best not pick at or peel the dead skin prematurely, this may cause discoloration. Let the dead skin flake off naturally. It is very important to protect your skin during this time by staying out of the sun as much as possible and wearing sunscreen.
