Chemical peels have long been used to reduce photoaging and other visible signs of ageing. Through their exfoliating action they can improve the skin’s appearance by reducing dryness, poor texture, acne, scars, pigmentation, photodamage, wrinkles, and fine lines.
It is important to have your skin assessed before peels to determine the best peel for you and your skin. You may need to prepare your skin at home in advance for better results, fewer complications, and faster healing.
We use a variety of superficial to medium depth peels for various indications and custom plan them to your skin.
