Chemical Peels
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are a non-invasive treatment that improves the texture and appearance of your skin. By applying a specially formulated solution, chemical peels gently exfoliate the outer layers of skin, removing dead cells and promoting new ones. Many concerns can be addressed with it, including wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, hyperpigmentation, and acne scars. The peel can be applied to the face, neck, and hands, offering a versatile solution to rejuvenate the skin and reveal a fresher, more youthful complexion.
Ideal for those seeking to improve their skin’s tone and clarity, chemical peels are suitable for most skin types. After the treatment, you should see initial results within a few days after the treatment, with the skin appearing more radiant and even-toned as the peeling process unfolds. Results from chemical peels typically last several months, depending on the peel’s depth and your skincare routine. To maintain these benefits, follow-up treatments may be recommended.
