Chemical Peels
Chemical peels can help to significantly improve the skin’s appearance. A Chemical peel is a skin resurfacing procedure in which a chemical solution is applied to the skin to help peel away the top layers. Following the 5-7 day healing time, fresh, smoother, more youthful skin is revealed. Chemical peels can be customized to individual needs depending on the condition being treated. A series of chemical peels can help keep the unwanted skin damage away and allow for better penetration of the products you use or other treatments performed.
Exfoliation: Acids dissolve the goo that hold dead skin cells together, revealing fresh, new skin. This can improve texture, tone, and reduce fine lines, acne scars, and uneven pigmentation.
Collagen Stimulation: Ingredients penetrate to deeper skin layers, stimulating new collagen production. This enhances firmness and elasticity, plumping up the epidermis, reducing unwanted wrinkles!
Cell Renewal: The peel process accelerates skin cell turnover, revealing a more radiant complexion. This helps address dullness and an uneven skin tone. Your skin will also behave more youthfully, turning back the clock!

SOME INGREDIENTS COMMONLY FOUND IN OUR PEELS
Lactic Acid: Naturally found in milk and part of the alpha hydroxy acid family, lactic acid is biosynthesized for cosmetic formulations. It exfoliates dead skin cells and enhances skin renewal to firm and strengthen skin, which improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Salicylic Acid: Known as a beta hydroxy acid, salicylic acid is an exfoliant with soothing properties. It is oil-soluble, allowing it to penetrate into pores to effectively exfoliate dead skin cells and control acne pimples.
Resorcinol: A peeling agent that works by breaking down rough, scaly or hardened skin and is one of the key ingredients in a Jessner peel. Resorcinol is also an antiseptic.
MATRIXYL™ synthe’6™®: Derived from a peptide naturally found in collagen and laminins, MATRIXYL™ synthe’6™ strengthens skin and improves elasticity, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Kojic Acid: A skin-brightening agent derived from fungi, kojic acid reduces the appearance of hyperpigmentation. SymWhite®: This potent skin-lightening ingredient targets hyperpigmentation and also has antioxidant properties to quench free radicals and protect skin from damage.
