CHEMICAL PEEL

Chemical peels use alpha hydroxy acids (usually glycolic acid) making them a bit more abrasive than microdermabrasion. Chemical peels are intended to improve the appearance of the skin by causing a mild exfoliation (sloughing) of a portion of the uppermost layer of the skin. This is great for acne, sun damage, skin discoloration, dark spots, reducing fine lines and wrinkles and so much more. You will quickly see softer and brighter skin and, in some cases, chemical peels can blend skin tones and improve the texture of the skin. These peels are generally performed as a series of treatments.
