CHEMICAL PEELS

Chemical Peels - Superficial chemical peels (SalAcid or Glycolic Acid) are five minute in-office procedures that lift the stratum corneum dissolving the intercellular glue binding it to the viable epidermis. Chemical peels are very effective in helping to control oily skin, acne, acne scarring and in treating photo damaged skin. Hyperpigmention, mottled spots, "age" spots, and freckles as well as superficial lines and rough or "weathered" skin can also benefit from these peels. Treatments are typically done on the face, back and chest with no down time or recovery.

TCA or Tricholoracetic Acid and Jessner's peels are slightly stronger, deeper peels and can be used for more severely sun-damaged skin.
