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 damaged outer layers. This promotes the growth of new, smoother, and more evenly toned skin.

How It Works:

1. Solution Applied: A blend of acids is applied to the skin

2. Exfoliation Begins: Old, damaged skin cells are sloughed off

3. Healing and Renewal: New, healthy skin cells regenerate

4. Visible Improvement: Skin appears brighter, smoother, and clearer
