Chemical Peel

What It Is

A chemical peel is a professional skin resurfacing treatment that uses medical-grade acid solutions to remove the damaged outer layers of skin. The controlled chemical exfoliation process accelerates cell turnover, revealing fresher, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin underneath. Depending on the depth and strength of the peel, it can address various skin concerns from fine lines and acne scars to hyperpigmentation and sun damage. Chemical peels stimulate collagen production and improve overall skin texture and tone.
