What is
a Chemical Peel?
Chemical Peels have
been used for decades to revitalize and resurface
skin. They involve applying a chemical solution to
remove the damaged outer layers of skin and reveal a
younger, clearer, more radiant complexion. They are
commonly performed on the face, chest and hands.
Light, medium and deep peels penetrate to different
levels and, consequently, produce different aesthetic
results. Generally, the deeper the peel penetrates,
the more profound the results, but the more lengthy
the recovery period. An individual's skin type, degree
of damage and personal expectations will help
determine which chemical peel is most appropriate.
How Does It Work?
The process usually takes
30 to 45 minutes and although some patients' faces may seem a
bit pink afterwards, there is no "downtime" and makeup can be
applied immediately after the treatment. You can return to
your normal schedule right away (though we recommend allowing
the skin to breath for up to 24 hours post treatment). Two to
three days following an ultra light peel, patients may
experience temporary flaking, dryness and scaling, which can
be controlled with a topical emollient.
How Do I Get
Started?
We have a wide
range of different peels, so we can customize a treatment
