The main benefit of a chemical peel is its ability to remove all dead skin cells from the surface of the skin,
and thus reduces the risk of spots and blemishes as well as reveling a new layer of skin that has been
sheltered from the elements and looks younger and healthier than the previous layer. You can choose from
various types of chemical peel with varying depths.
A chemical skin peel is a popular procedure used to treat:
skin problems
conditions from acne
age spots
wrinkles
some cancerous and precancerous growths
- AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) - These are the mildest of the peels. They are usually sugar
derived hence their names, glycolic, malic, lactic and other fruit acids. These lighter peels are usually
referred to as a 'lunch time' peel. They are effective for light skin pigmentation problems, reduction
of oil produced by overactive sebaceous glands, sun spots, light sun damage and other minor skin
problems. Usually multiple treatments yeild the best results, though one treatment can drastically
improve the skin. Glycolic acid is the most popular and extensively used of these peels.
- Salicylic acid has a unique unique feature of being oil soluble making this acid very effective in
cleaning and removing bacteria, dead skin cells and sebum oil from deep inside the pores. Because
of this solubility difference, salicylic acid is better suited for use on oily, irritated skin with postules,
blackheads and whiteheads.
- VITAMIN A(RETIN A) is praised by some medical experts as THE best wrinkle and fine
line treatment. Tretinoin works by making the skin appear smoother by way of thickening it's
outermost layers and sloughing off the dead skin cells, revealing fresher, younger looking skin. Our
vitamin A peel can be added after a microdermabrasion treatment, glycolic peel, or facial.
- Six of these treatments yields the same results as using Retin A for a year.
Our SMOOTHPEEL laser yields deeper results than traditional peels.
