Chemical peels are topically applied acids that aid in the restoration and rejuvenation of the skin's surface. They create an even and controlled shedding of several layers of the skin. Depending on the type and depth of the peel, few or many layers can be shed allowing new layers to be exposed and creating a fresh new appearance.

What are the benefits of a Chemical Peel?
Chemical peels can enhance your appearance by reducing blotchy and uneven pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, freckling, age spots, sun-damaged skin, and acne scars in a relatively short period of time. Chemical peels stimulate the production of new cells. Enjoy fresh smooth skin!

What are the side effects?
Chemical peels have become very popular because of their ease and relative lack of complications. Most people are usually very pleased with their results. Side effects are rare and usually temporary. Some side effects include uneven pigmentation, redness, and even more rarely, scarring. Proper sun protection greatly minimizes the risk of side effect. A regular program of sunscreen, sun block and sun protection will greatly help your skin maintain the result of the peel. You can minimize side effects by carefully following the instruction of your physician or aesthetician.
