Tailored peels that smooth texture, brighten tone, and improve acne and discoloration.
Chemical peels exfoliate damaged outer layers of skin to improve discoloration, dull texture, wrinkles, acne, and mild acne scarring. Strength can be customized from light, social-downtime peels to deeper treatments for more targeted resurfacing.
Skin is thoroughly cleansed and degreased to allow uniform peel application.
The chosen chemical solution is applied to the skin for the prescribed time. Sensation ranges from a mild tingle to brief stinging depending on strength.
The solution is neutralized or self-neutralizing peels are completed. Mild peeling develops over 2 to 7 days, revealing brighter, smoother skin.
Chemical peel pricing is by formulation. Glytone peels are gentler with no downtime; V.I. Peels deliver more dramatic correction and a few days of peeling. Your dermatologist will recommend the right formulation for your skin and goals.
