Chemical Peels
Chemical Peels are a form of chemical exfoliation to the skin. Peels are used to treat many skin issues like acne, fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. A peel allows your skin to shed off a layer, making room for new, healthier skin that is smooth in texture. If you are looking for a way to rejuvenate your complexion and boost your skin’s health and appearance, a chemical peel is an effective option.
The chemical peel process is an application of a chemical solution to the skin that exfoliates the upper layers of the skin. It is not painful and although there is some redness to the face after, it is usually gone within 48 hours.
A light chemical peel or glycolic peel will last 1 to 2 months. About 4 to 6 monthly treatments work well to maintain fine wrinkles, discoloration or sun-damaged skin. After an initial series of treatment, quick maintenance or “lunchtime” peels can be scheduled as needed.
