Simply put, a chemical peel uses a solution to remove layers of skin, revealing the more youthful skin underneath. Peels can reduce or improve acne scarring, wrinkles, uneven skin tone and other imperfections.
There are many types and levels of chemical peels from an herbal enzyme to a deeper glycolic peel. The 4 most common types of peels are AHA, BHA, TCA and Phenol peels. Phenol peels being the deepest of them all. While one of these treatments can give you some amazing results, we always recommend a series of 4-6 consistent peels 4 weeks apart in conjunction with a Dermaplane and Facial for the optimal results.
