Chemical Peels

A chemical peel can be used to diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve texture/tone, reduce pore size, increase hydration and moisture retention, give skin a smoother appearance, and diminish the appearance of hyperpigmentation. Chemical peels harness the power of certain ingredients that dissolved dead skin cells and clean out pores. It is an incredibly effective way to exfoliate skin and encourage fresh, healthy cells to rise up. For optimum results, you should get at least two to six peels spaced a minimum of three weeks apart, depending on your desired skincare goals

During your visit, your provider will discuss with you your primary skin concerns, and help to determine which peel would be most beneficial for your concerns. Your face will be cleansed and 1-3 layers of peel will be applied to your skin. It may cause a tingling sensation to the skin, which can be managed with a handheld fan (for some peels). Once the peel has had time to penetrate the skin, it will be neutralized for skin protection. After neutralization, a cool post-care enrichment mask will be applied to hydrate and calm the skin. Once the mask is washed off, a post-care cream will be applied to repair the skin barrier.

For some peels, minor peeling/flaking can be expect 2-4 days post peel application. Some people think that the more the skin peels, the more effective the peels is, but thats not necessarily true! Your skin does not need to “physically” peel in order to experience the benefit of a chemical peel.
