A chemical peel involves the application of a customized blend of peel solutions onto the skin, aimed at removing the outer unhealthy layer and penetrating deeper to cleanse impurities within the dermis. This process effectively resurfaces the skin, resulting in an enhanced texture. Chemical peels are utilized to address a range of skin concerns, including wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, uneven tone, rough texture, acne, blackheads, and whiteheads.
Our chemical peels vary in depth and therefore in cost and treatment time. We monitor your skin’s progress over time to determine the readiness of the skin for certain peels. Peels can cause burns or hyperpigmentation if done harshly or incorrectly and therefore it is under close supervision that we formulate your treatment plan. Usually a peel is done every 4-6 weeks in the initial phases and then they can be done less often for maintenance. We offer peels that are conducive to returning to work the next day and peels that will visibly cause the face to peel and there would be some down time. We will discuss which option is best for you at the consultation.
