Chemical Peels
Peels are a way to immediately resurface and improve the health of the skin. They are a tremendous way to address both the cosmetic and medical concerns associated with aging and sun damage.
Peels are recommended for skin rejuvenation, treatment of brown sunspots and melasma, fine to moderate wrinkles, acne and acne scarring, and the treatment of precancerous lesions and the prevention of certain types of skin cancer. Peels can be performed on the face, neck, chest, hands, arms, lower legs and upper back. Often a series of peels may be necessary for best results.
