First of all, let’s get to know what a Chemical Peel is.

What is a Chemical Peel?

Chemical Peels are skin treatments and a technique that improves the appearance of the skin through exfoliation. The ingredient solution used assists in removing layers of the skin, revealing fresh youthful skin underneath. The different types of peels can treat many different skin conditions including:

  • Acne

  • Tone and Texture
  • Dark spots and pigmentation
  • Redness
