Chemical peels
This painless treatment involves controlled sweeping strokes on area(s) of interest.
Chemical peels help remove damaged skin cells, allowing healthy skin to take its place to reveal brighter, smoother and renewed skin. Our chemical peels can help target a variety of unique skin concerns, like acne, signs of aging, hyperpigmentation and photodamage, as well as target specific concerns on the face, hands, back & chest, eyes and neck. Each non-invasive treatment helps support collagen production and resurface skin to maintain optimal skin health.
After, the peel your skin may look a little flushed/or tan. Remember that your current skincare regimen has a lot to do with the amount of peeling that comes after a chemical peel. At times client’s skin that is familiar to retinols and exfoliating agents will notice little to no peeling than of skin that has never been exposed to anti-aging, retinoids and exfoliating products. The reason for that is that these exfoliants’ listed above are constantly exfoliating the face and removing dead skin cells as do chemicals peels. After your peel your skincare specialist will give you post care instructions and post care products best suited for recovery.
