Salicylic Acid Peel: Tailored for oily and acne-prone skin types, the Salicylic Acid Peel excels at unclogging pores, reducing breakouts, and controlling surface oil. Its anti-inflammatory benefits also soothe the skin, reducing redness and promoting a clearer complexion.
Mandelic Acid Peel: The Mandelic Acid Peel is gentle yet effective in reducing skin redness, improving skin color, texture, and reducing pore size. It’s particularly suitable for sensitive skin types, offering a less irritating solution to achieve radiant skin.
Jessner’s Peel: The Jessner’s Peel targets mild to moderate hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and wrinkles, illuminating the skin with a brighter, more even complexion.
Eye and Mouth Peels: Specifically formulated for the delicate areas around the eyes and mouth, these peels utilize lactic acid and TCA to firm the skin, diminish fine lines, wrinkles, and reduce dark circles. They provide targeted treatment for these sensitive regions, restoring a youthful vitality and brightness.

Our diverse range of acid peels offer targeted solutions for a variety of skin concerns, ensuring that every client can achieve their optimal skin health and appearance. Treatment sessions typically last between 15-20 minutes, depending on the type of peel and the areas being treated. For optimal results, we generally recommend undergoing a series of about 4 peels, done every 2-4 weeks, followed by a maintenance peel every 6-8 weeks. This frequency allows your skin to recover fully between sessions while maximizing the benefits of the peel.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Chemical Peel?

A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing procedure in which a chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove the top layers. The skin that grows back is smoother and younger-looking. Chemical peels are used to treat wrinkles, skin discoloration, and acne scars.

Are Chemical Peels safe?

Yes, when performed by a qualified skincare professional, chemical peels are safe. The key to safety is following the pre-treatment and post-treatment care instructions provided by your specialist to avoid any complications.

How long does a chemical peel take?

The procedure typically takes between 15-20 minutes, depending on the type of peel being performed and the area being treated.

Will I experience any pain during the treatment?

You may feel a tingling or a slight stinging sensation during the application of the peel, but this is generally not painful. The sensation is temporary and usually subsides once the peel is neutralized.

What can I expect after a chemical peel?

After a chemical peel, you can expect some redness, dryness, and peeling of the skin, which can last from a few days to a week, depending on the depth of the peel. Following the post-treatment care instructions is crucial for a quick and smooth recovery.

How often should I get a chemical peel?

The frequency of chemical peels depends on the type of peel and your specific skin concerns. Generally, superficial peels can be done every 2-4 weeks, while deeper peels may require more time between sessions.

Can chemical peels remove acne scars?

Chemical peels can improve the appearance of mild acne scars by removing the outer layer of the skin and promoting new, healthy skin growth. However, the effectiveness varies depending on the depth and type of the scars.

Is there anyone who should not get a chemical peel?

Individuals with active skin infections, certain acne medications, or a history of keloid scars should consult with a skincare professional before undergoing a chemical peel. Pregnant or nursing women should also avoid chemical peels.

How do I know which type of chemical peel is right for me?

The best way to determine the most suitable type of chemical peel for your skin concerns is by consulting with a skincare specialist. They can assess your skin type, concerns, and goals to recommend the most effective treatment.

What is the difference between a chemical peel and a facial?

While both treatments aim to improve the appearance of the skin, chemical peels are more intensive, targeting deeper layers of the skin to address issues like fine lines, wrinkles, and hyperpigmentation. Facials are more superficial and are geared towards cleansing, exfoliating, and hydrating the skin.
