Chemical Peel

Minimally Invasive Procedure

A chemical peel uses a chemical solution to smooth the texture of your skin by removing the damaged outer layers.

What are the steps of a chemical peel procedure?

Chemical solutions are carefully applied to your skin to improve the texture by removing damaged outer layers.

The formula used by your doctor will be adjusted to meet your particular needs.

There are three types of chemical peels:

Light chemical peel - Subtle improvements at first, but that healthy glow will increase with more treatments
Medium chemical peel - Your skin will be noticeably smoother and fresher-looking
Deep chemical peel - Results are dramatic, but recovery takes the longest
