Illuminate your skin and put your best face forward.
A chemical peel works by removing the damaged outer layers of your skin. Following your peel, your skin will look and feel healthier and your complexion will be radiant. Chemical peels can improve facial blemishes, fine wrinkles, dry spots, acne, and irregular skin pigmentation. Chemical peels can be performed on your face, neck, chest, arms, hands and legs. Our licensed esthetician will first perform an in-depth skin analysis and customize a treatment plan for your skin type.
You may require a series of chemical peels to achieve optimal improvement. Your chemical peel can safely be combined with other procedures including Botox and a dermal fillers (Juvederm or Restylane).
