A chemical peel is a specially formulated solution designed to gently remove the outermost layers of skin. By encouraging the skin to shed damaged cells, this non-invasive skin rejuvenation treatment reveals a smoother, brighter surface underneath.
Chemical peels come in a range of strengths, with each treatment customized to your skin type, goals, and preferences regarding downtime. Peels can visibly improve the appearance of fine lines, uneven tone, sun damage, mild scarring, and other visible signs of aging, providing a simple yet highly effective way to restore your skin's natural glow.
Prior to your peel, your diet, lifestyle, and skincare will be discussed to help comprehensively address your skin goals. During treatment, the skin is cleansed and prepped before a chemical solution is applied. Depending on the peel type (light, medium, or deep), the solution penetrates to different layers of the skin to achieve targeted results.
You may feel a tingling or mild stinging sensation, but the process is generally well-tolerated. After the treatment, your skin begins to shed old cells, making way for smoother, healthier skin to emerge.
