Chemical Peels

Our chemical peels are entirely safe and effective for most skin types. We’ll take the time to analyze your skin before customizing a peel that best suits your needs. After gently cleaning your skin, we’ll apply an AHA (or Salicylic Acid) solution that won’t cause any discomfort or pain to your targeted area. After approximately 15 minutes, this solution will be peeled off, revealing healthy skin underneath. Stronger peels are available for sun-damaged skin to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and a small sedative may be given to ensure your comfort. The entire process for a light peel only takes around 20 minutes, but stronger treatments may last up to two hours. A protective layer of petroleum jelly may be applied to your skin (Phenol peel) after the procedure. Most light peels can be reapplied on a weekly or monthly basis.

Depending on what type of chemical peel you choose, you may feel a slight burning sensation that lasts for about 5-10 minutes. Following your treatment, you may have a reaction similar to a sunburn. Redness is typical, followed by peeling, and will end in about 3-7 days. You will see rejuvenated and glowing skin after your first treatment, with results continuing to improve for 4-6 weeks. It’s recommended that you receive a series of 3-6 peels to achieve your ultimate skin rejuvenation goals.
