Chemical Peels

Chemical peels improve the texture and appearance of the skin by sloughing off the outer layers of the skin. They are effective facial treatments for improving blemishes, fine lines, wrinkles, and skin tone. During the treatment, a predetermined quantity of the peel solution is applied to the skin for a specified amount of time. This is dependent on the type of chemical peel used, the concentration of the solution, skin type, and skin's reactivity to the treatment. This solution works by reacting with the upper layer of the skin to efficiently dissolve the bonds that bind surface cells to the skin, ultimately revealing smoother, healthier skin underneath. While some peels are self-neutralizing, most formulas need to be neutralized with a buffering solution or water upon completion of the treatment. The goal is to create a controlled, safe injury to the skin, thereby prompting skin to naturally repair itself and reveal newer, brighter skin. The action of a professional chemical peel far outweighs the effect of an exfoliating scrub or brush. Best of all, chemical peels are appropriate for nearly everyone. It is a matter of knowing which chemical is best for your skin type and concerns.

Alpha hydroxy acids provide chemical exfoliation that accelerates the skin's natural shedding of dead cells. AHA skincare works by dissolving the bonds that hold dead cells on the skin's surface, which makes it easier for them to flake off. In addition, skincare products that are formulated with alpha hydroxy acid help promote skin renewal by increasing the rate of cellular turnover as well.Alpha hydroxy acids provide chemical exfoliation that accelerates the skin's natural shedding of dead cells.
