Professional Peels
Administered by a skin care professional, our full range of superficial peels can help your complexion appear more uniform and renewed—diminishing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and roughness.
These solutions are applied to the face to remove dead, dry outer skin cells that tend to dull the complexion. There are a variety of chemical peel solutions available, which allow for customization of treatment for your specific needs.
“Do I need a chemical peel?”
Our chemical peels vary in strength and are customizable for the individual. When you consult with our aestheticians, they will evaluate your skin to determine if chemical peels are beneficial for you. It is important to assess the patient’s skin conditions and concerns as well as skin sensitivity and medical history before administering this or any facial treatment.

About the Procedure
Chemical peels are performed by our professionally trained staff. After the skin is thoroughly cleansed, the peel solution is applied and remains on the skin for a prescribed period of time. The peel is then removed using a neutralizing solution and water.
After the procedure, the skin may be red and feel sunburned. Patients are advised to avoid sun exposure until the skin heals completely. Most return to work or regular activities the same day, particularly after a light peel.
Recovery and Typical Results
Results from a chemical peel will appear gradually as the skin heals. Most patients see full results within 1 to 2 weeks. The duration of the results will depend on the depth of the peel, with deeper peels lasting much longer. Additional chemical peel treatments are typically scheduled 4 weeks apart.
