Chemical Peel
What is Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a procedure in which a quick chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove outer skin layers, dead cells, and other impurities. This process stimulates skin renewal and collagen regeneration. In addition, Chemical Peels also unclog pores and kill acne-causing bacteria. The skin that grows back is brighter and smoother.

Chemical peels improve your skin’s appearance because as mentioned above, they get rid of the dead skin layers and reveal the beautiful smoother layers. They minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and they even help even out your skin tone. Chemical peels also work to improve the appearance of scars, treat acne, reduce aging spots, and reduce dark patches and freckles. Chemical peels are great for treating sun damage too!
How Does Chemical Peel Works?
Chemical peels are a skin treatment that can be done to your face, neck, chest, or hands, however, they are most commonly done on faces. Chemical peels use acid to break down the top layer or layers of your skin. The chemical solution used will make these layers of skin blister and peel off. By peeling off the top layers you are revealing the other layers of your skin which are smoother and less wrinkled.
Chemical Peel Process
1. Double Cleansing
After a welcome head massage, the treatment starts with a double cleanse to free the skin of the day’s build up.
2. Customised Medical Peel
Following a strict protocol, a medical peel is specifically customised and tailored for your skin condition and goals.
3. Extraction
After the medical peel has deep cleaned and softened your skin, our skilled therapists carefully perform an extraction.
4. Equipment Add-On
Pair this treatment with our FDA-approved I2PL Photorejuvenation for even greater results.
