FACIALS AND CHEMICAL PEELS
Facials and chemical peels come in all shapes and sizes ranging from a relaxing treatment where you leave feeling dewy and fresh, to having a few days of skin shedding following the treatment date.
Chemical peels are used to deeply exfoliate the skin removing some superficial pigmentation like freckles and brown spots and reducing fine lines and wrinkles. These treatments also restore a luminous look to a tired complexion. Chemical peels are used to slow down the aging process and keep your skin looking youthful. Some chemical peels can be used to clear up acne and reduce pore size as well as lighten some of the brown-colored scarring that can be leftover from pimples. Other chemical peels are made specifically for pigmentation and work to remove and lighten stubborn brown marks in the skin. Each patient’s skin is analyzed by our professional staff along with each individual’s concern to determine which of the many chemical peels we offer will be best.

All of the peels listed above use a different variety and proprietary mix of acids to deeply exfoliate your skin. About 48 hours after the peel your skin will begin to shed. The peeling and shedding process can last up to one week. When your skin stops peeling you will see fewer wrinkles, lighter pigmentation, and a smoother, more even skin tone and texture.
Micropeel is a multi-step peel process consisting of dermaplaning and a low-dosage chemical peel. This facial has no downtime and is a nice way to introduce yourself into chemical peels if you are new to this great treatment option.
Facials can be done to clean out pores, add hydration or just to maintain a youthful appearance to the skin. Most facials should be done once a month unless you are combining them with deeper treatments like chemical peels.
Hydrating Collagen Facial is a relaxing treatment that uses pure native collagen to plump and hydrate the skin leaving a soft and supple result. A mask is left on the skin for 30-45 minutes while you enjoy a hand and foot massage. This is not recommended for claustrophobic patients.
Deep Cleansing Facial will remove dead skin, pimples and blackheads from the skin. This is the perfect facial for someone who is having breakout or blackhead issues. After this facial you will leave feeling smoother, clean and refreshed.

Chemical peels are skincare treatments that involve applying a chemical solution to the skin to exfoliate and improve its texture. They offer a range of benefits for various skin concerns and conditions.
Benefits:
- Improved Skin Texture: Chemical peels effectively remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover, resulting in smoother and softer skin texture.
- Reduction of Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By stimulating collagen production, chemical peels can diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, especially those caused by sun damage and aging.
- Even Skin Tone: Peels can lighten hyperpigmentation, such as sun spots, age spots, and melasma, creating a more even complexion.
- Acne Control: Chemical peels can help reduce acne breakouts and improve acne scars by unclogging pores and reducing inflammation.
- Brighter Complexion: Peels can enhance skin radiance and brightness by removing dull and damaged outer layers of the skin.
- Reduced Pore Size: Regular peels can minimize pore size and improve overall skin clarity.
- Boosted Skincare Product Efficacy: After a peel, skincare products can penetrate deeper into the skin, maximizing their effectiveness.
- Customizable Treatments: Peels come in different strengths and formulations, allowing for customized treatments based on individual skin types and concerns.
The frequency of chemical peels depends on the type of peel, skin condition, and desired results. Generally, a series of peels is recommended to achieve optimal outcomes, followed by maintenance treatments.
Treatment Process:
- Consultation: Before treatment, a consultation with a skincare professional determines the most suitable peel type based on skin type, concerns, and goals.
- Preparation: The skin is cleansed thoroughly to remove oils and debris. A pre-peel solution may be applied to enhance peel penetration.
- Peel Application: The chemical solution is applied to the skin and left on for a specific duration, depending on the peel’s strength and desired depth of exfoliation.
- Sensation: Mild tingling or warmth may be felt during the treatment, which subsides once the peel is neutralized or washed off.
- Post-Treatment Care: Aftercare instructions include gentle cleansing, moisturizing, and sun protection to support skin recovery.
Recovery and Results:
- Immediate Effects: Mild redness and peeling are common post-treatment, lasting a few days to a week depending on peel intensity.
- Long-Term Benefits: Progressive improvement in skin texture, tone, and clarity is observed with each subsequent peel session.
Maintenance: To maintain results, periodic peels are recommended, typically every 4-6 weeks, or as advised by our aesthetician. Regular peels contribute to ongoing skin health and rejuvenation.
