CHEMICAL PEELS are a form of skin treatment in which a solution, usually a combination of fruit-based acids, are applied to the outermost layer of the skin. This results in exfoliation of the surface and stimulation of collagen production in the dermis, or second layer of the skin. We use chemical peels for a wide variety of conditions, including aging acne, mild acne scarring and pigmented sun spots. The result is minimal down time which makes these procedures perfect for a busy lifestyle. Learn more about the different chemical peels we offer below.
