Chemical Peels

Exfoliate and renew for a radiant glow.

The Philosophy

Chemical peels involve applying a solution to the skin to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the growth of new cells. Ranging from light to deep, peels can improve skin texture, reduce discoloration, and treat acne.

Common Inquiries

Will my skin actually "peel"?

Yes. These are medical-grade peels designed to induce significant shedding. The peeling process typically begins a few days post-procedure and continues for a week or more as damaged layers are replaced by fresh, rejuvenated tissue.

How should I prepare?

Optimal results require four to six weeks of skin pretreatment with Retin-A and hydroquinone. This essential conditioning phase stabilizes melanocyte activity and ensures a uniform, predictable healing response.

Can peels help with acne?

By deeply exfoliating the skin and clearing the follicular units, these transformative peels effectively address active acne and significantly improve the appearance of secondary scarring.

How often can I get a peel?

Due to their depth and transformative nature, these are not frequent treatments. Most patients achieve their aesthetic goals with a single session, though a subsequent peel may be considered once the skin has fully matured.
