What Is A Chemical Peel?

Simply put, a chemical peel is an acid solution (there are different solutions) that is applied to the top layers of the skin. The acid causes it to exfoliate and slowly peel off. This uncovers new, regenerated skin that has a smoother, fresher appearance.

A chemical peel most commonly used to address skin issues like:

  • Sun damage (sun spots)
  • Age and brown spots
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Uneven skin tone and texture

  • Minimize clogged pores
