Chemical Peels

Duration

45 min

Professional retinol peel for skin renewal and anti-aging.

A chemical peel applies a controlled acid solution to the skin to remove damaged outer layers, revealing smoother, more even-toned skin beneath. Peels are categorized by depth: superficial (glycolic, lactic, salicylic acid) treat the outermost layer for mild improvement; medium (TCA, Jessner's) penetrate deeper for more significant correction of pigmentation, fine lines, and acne scars; and deep peels (phenol) address severe sun damage and wrinkles. The controlled exfoliation stimulates the skin's natural healing response, triggering new collagen production and accelerated cell turnover. Results depend on peel depth — superficial peels have minimal downtime with subtle improvement, while deeper peels provide dramatic results but require more recovery time.
