Information

Chemical peels exfoliate the skin by removing the outer layer.  The peels have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and skin stimulating properties to help clear breakouts and reduce redness. A chemical solution is applied to the skin which causes it to slough off and begin to peel. The result is a smoother, less wrinkled and blemish-free skin complexion.
