CHEMICAL PEELS

GLYCOLIC PEELS 30%, 50%, 70%

Chemical peels offer a wide variety of puposes which include: help to soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, help with acne and acne scars, pore size, hyperpigmentation, etc. Chemical peels help increase cell turnover, which is especially important as we age.Cell turnover decreases after the age of 30 from our skin naturally exfoliating from every 28 days(under 30 yrs. old) to every 35 -40 days for those over 30 years old. This is a main factor in deciding the necessity of having peels. This reason  as we age our skin tends to have a duller appearance and increased exfoliation is necessary.

SALICYLIC ACID PEELS 30%

Salicylic acids are helpful in treating a variety of skin ailments. They have proven to be effective in treating dry skin, acne, liver or sun spots, lessening fine facial wrinkles, and improving skin texture. These acids have been shown to increase skin thickness up to 15% in patients with sun damaged thin skin.  This occurs through the stimulation of collagen production, the skins natural support protein.  Salicylic acid also works by loosening and removing dead skin cells.
