Chemical peels are a form of exfoliation using targeted enzymes and acids to digest dead surface skin and promote cellular turnover in order to promote the production of new, healthy skin.

When administered by a trained skincare professional, peels are very safe and most skin types experience great benefit from this type of treatment.

Immediately following treatment you may notice some results such as smoother skin and a radiant glow. In most cases, the recovery process takes about one week, at which point you will see maximum benefit from your procedure. In many cases, a series of peel treatments will be needed to achieve your long-term goals for your skin.

The effects from one peel will typically last about 4-6 weeks, at which point you can schedule your next appointment to maintain results and see even more progressive benefits.

Post-peel it is very important to keep the skin cool, calm, and hydrated. You will need to avoid sun exposure, as well as excess heat – such as from exercising, saunas, or hot showers. At your appointment, you will be provided with additional aftercare instruction as well as product recommendations from your skin care professional.

Chemical peels are appropriate for men and women of all skin types, and can be customized according to your skin’s current condition. However, in most cases, peels are not recommended for anyone who is pregnant or nursing.

Chemical peel treatments are quick and easy. A typical procedure takes less than an hour.
