WHAT ARE CHEMICAL PEELS?
A chemical peel is a skin treatment that involves applying a solution to exfoliate and remove the outer layers of skin. This process helps to improve skin texture, reduce wrinkles, and treat issues like acne, sun damage, and hyperpigmentation. The result is smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin. We offer 4 peels: AlphaRet Professional Peel 30 by SKINBETTER, and Illuminze, Vitalize, and Rejuvenize by SkinMedica. Each of these peels vary in strengthโfrom light peels that target the outermost layer of skin to deeper peels that address more significant skin concerns. All of these peels are appropriate for all skin types.

how it works
HOW LONG IS THE SERVICE?
Generally, a chemical peel can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the specific type of peel and the extent of the treatment area.
WHAT IS THE RECOVERY TIME?
The recovery time after a chemical peel can vary depending on the type and depth of the peel performed. The recovery time can range from a few days to several weeks, with deeper peels having a longer recovery time.
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
Results can vary depending on several factors, including the type and depth of the peel performed, the individual’s skin type and condition, and their specific concerns. In general, you can expect to see some improvement in your skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance within a few days to a few weeks after the procedure.
