Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are primarily composed of high quality, naturally derived acids. These substances, which include Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), are sourced from plants and fruits such as apples, grapes, citrus, and sugar cane. Once the solution has been applied to the skin for a set period of time, the acidity is balanced out by adding a neutralizing supplement.

 The strength of the peel will determine how much downtime is required. Some peels cause no downtime at all, while others may require several days of exfoliation. Once this peeling process has finished, improvements will be immediately apparent. In the 4-6 weeks that follow the procedure, this positive trend will only continue until the patient is left with a fresh, radiant appearance.

Chemical Peels produce positive and immediate effects for those with fair skin. Patients with dark, olive, or Asian skin can still benefit from a chemical peel, but the depth and strength must be adjusted to avoid the risk of hyperpigmentation. Our providers will conduct a thorough skin analysis to ensure both safety and results for our patients.

Keeping skin protected from the sun is a critical component in maintaining your results. Apply a full spectrum (UVA and UVB) sunscreen daily to prevent new damage from occurring.
