Chemical Peels
Chemical Peels aka micro-exfoliation utilize ingredients such as beta-hydroxy acids, alpha-hydroxy acids, Vitamin A and other actives. They differ from over-the-counter skincare as they are stronger in percentage and must be used by a trained professional. Depending on your skin condition and concern, there are superficial, medium and deep peels that can address acne, hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, texture and enlarged pores.
