Our chemical peels remove the skin’s upper layer using salicylic acid, mandelic acid, lactic acid, and citric acid. When we apply the chemicals to your face, your skin will begin to exfoliate, blister and peel. This removes dead skin to allow new skin that’s more youthful and smooth to grow back.
Chemical peels treat various skin conditions for a clear and glowing complexion.
Reduce Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Chemical peels remove the layer of skin affected by your fine lines and wrinkles. The chemicals we use will cause dead skin to shed and peel off. When your skin blisters and peels away, new skin will grow back in its place. The newly generated skin is rid of superficial fine lines and wrinkles.
Correct Uneven Pigmentation
Age, sun exposure, and conditions like melasma are why your skin can create an uneven pigmentation. A medium chemical peel treats uneven skin pigmentation, which removes the skin cells from the epidermis (outermost layer of skin) and the upper dermis (middle layer of skin). This effectively eliminates the problem areas on your skin where dead skin cells accumulate or where your skin cells produce too much pigment. The chemical peel will remove these layers, give you healthy skin cell growth, and improve your overall skin tone.
Improve Shallow Acne Scars
Acne scars are caused by the damage from the inflammation of acne, which causes depression or uneven skin if they don’t heal fully. Chemical peels remove the damaged outer layer of skin and promote collagen growth to fill your acne scars. This new cell growth in your scars will look seamless and smooth with the rest of the new layer of skin after your chemical peel.
Reduce Age Spots
Age spots are commonly caused by the accumulation of dead skin cells near the surface of your skin. Chemical peels are effective for handling the changing pigmentation of your skin and peeling away the epidermis and upper layer of the dermis to remove the dead skin cells and problem areas.

How long do results last from a chemical peel
Light, medium, and deep chemical peels all have different results. If it is your first chemical peel, the results of your chemical peel can last up to two months. Medium peels can last up to four months or six after subsequent peels. The severity of your chemical peel will also determine the length of the results.
How long should you wait between chemical peels?
For lighter peels, you can go monthly for treatments. However, you should wait at least four to six months before pursuing another treatment for stronger peels.
