Chemical Peel

A Chemical Peel is an acidic gel made up of naturally occurring acids such as alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), beta hydroxy acid (BHA), glycolic or salicylic acid combined with other skincare ingredients. Chemical peels are often used in combination with micro-needling in order to resurface and improve the health of the skin.

The chemical peel is applied to the skin to resurface the top layer of the skin in order to promote the growth of new skin cells. The regenerated skin is smoother and less wrinkled than the old skin, creating a fresh-faced glow.

Clients who seek to improve skin texture and radiance, fading of brown spots, acne treatment, brighter complexion, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and refined pores would be the ideal candidates for this treatment.

What is a Chemical Peel?

Chemical peels are chemical solutions that are applied topically to the skin and left on for a precise period of time before being removed. They effectively remove tired, dead skin to reveal a more youthful complexion.

Fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, pigmentation, age spots, melasma, dull skin, acne, and more.

During a chemical peel, a chemical solution is applied to the top layer of your skin to resurface your complexion. As skin recovers, the new layer of skin that grows back is smoother, brighter, and looks more youthful.

We’ll start by ensuring your skin is clean and makeup-free. When the peel is applied, you may experience some tingling or warmth. The intensity of the chemical peel depends on the unique chemical compound chosen for your skin type and concerns.

We recommend a series of three peels for best results.

The total duration of your treatment will be between 20 and 30 minutes, depending on the type of peel selected.

You’ll experience some redness and peeling in the days following your treatment. As your skin will temporarily be more sensitive, you should be extra careful to avoid unprotected sun exposure and we always recommend wearing a daily mineral sunscreen.
