Chemical Peeling: Skin Resurfacing & Renewal
Chemical Peeling
Chemical peeling is a controlled exfoliation technique used to improve the texture and appearance of the skin. By applying a safe chemical solution (such as Glycolic, Salicylic, or TCA acid), we cause the dead outer layers of the skin to peel away. This process forces the skin to regenerate new, fresh tissue. It is highly effective for treating fine wrinkles, acne scars, uneven skin tone, and rough texture. We offer various depths of peels, from “lunchtime peels” with no downtime to deeper peels for dramatic results.
