| CHEMICAL PEELS |
|
Chemical peels make use of chemical solutions to improve and smooth the texture of the facial skin by removing its damaged outer layers , the stratum corneum. Containing a number of different acids such as Phenols, Trichloroacetic acid (TCA), Alphahydroxy acids (AHAs) and a number of other acids, chemical peels are helpful for the treatment of facial blemishes, wrinkles and uneven skin pigmentation.
The precise formula of each peel, the length of exposure to the skin and the type of acid used in the peel can be adjusted to determine the actual depth of the peel, level of patient comfort and ultimately to meet each patient’s specific needs, and goals.
Chemical peels are an essential part of ensuring that you reverse the damages of life’s stresses on your skin. You see an immediate brightening and smoothing of your skin, and within a week your skin is positively radiant. This is one treatment where the result is definitely worth the few minutes of discomfort.
With time and regular peels, your skin will regain its youthful glow, have less fine lines and have a more even & beautiful tone and texture. In the hands of our skin experts, these peels are safe and effective with minimal discomfort.
