Chemical Peels
What is a chemical peel?
A chemical peel is a procedure in which a chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove the top layers. The skin that grows back is smoother.

Types of Chemical Peels
-
Our most common superficial “lunchtime peels” are most commonly done using glycolic acid, salicylic acid, Jessners, low strength trichloracetic acid (TCA), retinol, and mandelic acid.
It only penetrates the outermost layer of skin. There is minimal down-time, but several monthly sessions are required.
-
Medium depth peels are performed using higher strengths of tichloracetic acid (TCA) in combination with Jessners, to reach the middle and outer layer of skills. This makes it more effective for removing damaged skin cells. This may cause 3-7 days of visible skin dryness and peeling.
