What is aChemical Peel
A chemical peel may be the answer you’ve been looking for to deal with troublesome skin. In this quick, non-invasive, outpatient procedure, we place a special solution on your face. The solution contains natural acids, enzymes, and other powerful ingredients to dissolve the glue that holds together dead, dull skin cells. They can target one or more layers of skin, depending on the formula we use and your needs. These reasons make chemical peels a popular alternative to surgery or laser treatment. If you have a wedding, interview, or special occasion coming up, a chemical peel could make the difference.
Beautiful skin starts here.Chemical peels work on almost all skin types and can help if you’ve struggled with fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, and acne. However, there are some people who should be cautious. Persons with a history of keloids, or taking certain oral medications for acne, should not have chemical peels.
Pregnant women should also delay chemical peels.
After Care Instructions:Wash your face with cool water. Warm or hot water might not feel as good as cool or cold water, which can help soothe post-peel sensations.

Please do not exfoliate using a cleansing brush or any facial scrub or acid-based products for 2 weeks.
Do not use any products that contain AHA, Glycolic, Retin-A, or any acne medication until your skin has finished peeling (usually 7 days, but possibly longer).
