Chemical Peels Explained
Learn how professional exfoliation can transform your skin texture and tone.
Understanding the Condition
Buildup of dead skin cells can cause the skin to look dull, exacerbate acne, and highlight fine lines and hyperpigmentation.
Treatment Suggestions
Chemical Peels use carefully formulated solutions to exfoliate the uppermost layers of the skin. Depending on the depth of the peel, they can address superficial dullness or deeper concerns like stubborn pigmentation and acne scarring.
Proactive Preventative Care
After a peel, your skin is vulnerable. Do not pick or pull at peeling skin. Keep the area deeply moisturized, avoid active ingredients (like AHAs, BHAs, and retinoids) until fully healed, and practice rigorous sun protection.
