Chemical Peels

Peels help reduce the appearance of fine lines, improve the appearance of sun damage, help to treat acne, and help reduce discolouration such as dark spots and pigmentation. Peels can also help increase elastin and collagen. Peels can be a deep or light exfoliant, and they remove dead skin cells using acid. Glycolic, tricholoacetic, salicylic, and lactic acid are provided during a treatment.

Glycolic Acid: The most active and effective of the Alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs). Due to its tiny molecular size, it is the only AHA that can penetrate through cell walls. Once inside the cell, it will create new collagen and ground the skin to reduce wrinkles.

Lactic Acid: A natural humectant that occurs naturally on the skin. Therefore, it will pull moisture from the air and hold it on the skin. It exfoliates cells on the surface of the skin by breaking down the material that holds skin cells together. Lactic acid is less irritating and more moisturizing than glycolic acid.
