The VI Peel corrects skin defects such as acne, scarring, hyper-pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles improving the overall quality, tone and texture of your skin. Suitable for all skin types. It has a unique blend of Salicylic Acid, Retinoic Acid, Phenol Acid and Vitamin C, delivering powerful results on the neck, hands, and chest as well as face.
Obagi Radiance
Obagi Radiance Peel is gentle yet effective without downtime and with little to no flaking. Using a blend of Salicylic, Lactic and Glycolic Acids and other soothing ingredients, the Radiance Peel exfoliates the uppermost damaged skin layers, leaving your skin fresher, tighter and renewed.
AHA BHA Peel
Alphahydroxy acids (AHAs), including Glycolic Acid are the mildest of the chemical peel formulas and produce light peeling. It could be used as an additional exfoliating treatment to some of our facials or as a series of treatments to exfoliate dead, damaged skin, minimize fine lines, clear breakouts, and brighten your complexion.
Customized Peel
We have many peeling agents to choose from, but it is important to consider your life style when selecting the right peel. Consider the potential downtime with your treatment, as the degree of peeling varies and depends on the depth of the peel, which can range from superficial to deep.
Chemical Peel FAQ's
Q: What are chemical peels?
A. Chemical peels contain different chemical solutions to produce a separation and peeling of the outer layers of the skin and stimulate the production of new cells. They vary from very light and superficial to medium and more intense medical grade peels. The depth of the peel recommended will depend on your skin condition, type, and desired result. The skin's reaction to the chemical peel is similar to what you would experience with a sunburn and generally, the deeper the peel the longer the recovery.
We offer several different types of chemical peel blends to fit everyone's skin care needs such as: Vita Active Peel, Glycolic Acid, Salicylic Acid, medical grade Vi Peel, Trichloroacetic Acid, Retinolic Acid, and Obagi Radiance.
