What Is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel uses carefully formulated acids or enzymes to exfoliate the skin at varying depths.

Depending on the strength and formulation, peels can:

• Remove dead skin build-up
• Unclog pores
• Reduce acne
• Improve pigmentation
• Stimulate collagen
• Smooth fine lines
• Improve overall skin tone

Not all peels are the same choosing the correct peel is essential.

Chemical peels are suitable for clients experiencing:

• Acne
• Pigmentation
• Sun damage
• Dull skin
• Fine lines
• Uneven texture

A consultation is required before advanced peels such as TCA or Jessner.
