The purpose of a chemical peel is to create controlled shedding of several layers of damaged cells in an even, precise manner for optimum results. This exposes a new fresh layer of skin with a renewed smoother texture and even color. In addition, the peel stimulates new cells to grow, thereby giving a fresh glow and appearance to the skin. Our aesthetician uses a variety of effective, safe and naturally-derived peeling substances to treat the skin, depending on the needs of each patient.

Chemical Peels are Effective for:

• Freckling
• Blotchy hyperpigmentation (including the "mask of pregnancy")
• Sun damage (including precancerous lesions)
• Brown discoloration from acne pimples

Chemical peels can be applied to the face, hands, chest and back. Each peel can be performed alone or purchased in a series of 4 to 6 treatments repeated every two to six weeks. Combining peels with therapeutic facials is also beneficial for many patients. Depending on your individual skin type and degree of hyperpigmentation, our Aesthetician will design a customized program just for you.
