What are chemical peels?

---

Chemical peels produce controlled injury to the skin, which promotes the growth of new skin and improved appearance. A combination of acids is applied to face, neck or décolletage depending on the concerns. The different chemical solutions produce different degrees of injury to the skin. The overall resurfacing effect of chemical exfoliation removes the top dead layers of the skin that causes dullness and encourages healthy cell turnover for glowing smooth skin.

How often should I recieve a chemical peel?

---

Superficial peels can be done monthly as part of a healthy skincare routine and to maintain a healthy glow while also addressing specific skin concerns such as fine lines or problematic skin. Deep peels require down time and only two to three treatments a year are recommended. The best chemical resurfacing treatment is recommended only after a thorough consultation and analysis of the client’s skin and personal needs.
