Facial Peels
WHAT IS A PEEL?

A facial peel, or what is also called a chemical peel, is a skin treatment that can reduce acne, scarring, wrinkles, and sun damage to give the skin a clearer and brighter appearance. A carefully selected peel treatment is applied to penetrate the outer or middle layers of the skin to remove damaged skin cells. 

The type of chemical peel used will be determined by your aesthetician during your initial consultation based on your skin type, it's current condition, your lifestyle and your desired outcome.
