Chemical Peels
Chemical peels include a wide range of exfoliation procedures that produce a peeling effect on the skin. The ultimate goal of any peel is the removal of the skin,s outer layer of primarily dead cells and the stimulation of collagen and elasticity to tighten and firm the healthy layer beneath. When preformed properly, this procedure can effectively diminish the appearance of wrinkles, age spots, hyper-pigmentation, blemishes and more with little to no trauma to healthy cells. Peels encourage gentle, effective renewal.
Peels can vary in intensity, from a superficial peel, to deep epidermal exfoliation like the TCA peel and a Jessner peel.
