Chemical Peel
A treatment that applies a controlled chemical solution to exfoliate the skin's outer layers, revealing smoother, brighter skin.
What is Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel applies a carefully selected chemical solution to the skin, causing the outer, damaged layers to gently exfoliate and eventually peel away, revealing smoother, more even-toned skin underneath. Peels range from light, requiring no downtime, to medium and deep peels that involve more significant peeling and a longer recovery, with the appropriate strength selected based on your specific skin concerns and goals. Your practitioner applies the solution evenly across the treatment area, leaving it on for a precisely timed duration before neutralizing it.
Why is this procedure performed?
- Uneven skin tone or texture
- Fine lines and sun damage
- Acne scarring or active acne
- Hyperpigmentation or age spots
- A desire for smoother, more radiant skin
How does this procedure help?
Chemical peels can significantly improve skin tone, texture, and clarity by removing damaged outer layers and stimulating fresh skin cell turnover underneath. Lighter peels offer a quick refresh with minimal downtime, while deeper peels address more significant concerns with a longer but more dramatic result. Many patients incorporate peels into a regular skincare routine for ongoing skin health and radiance.
