Chemical peels

You can get a chemical peel to treat a skin concern, or you can get one as a cosmetic solution. We often see a mix of both types of clients. Often, someone will get a chemical peel to reduce pigmentation or the appearance of freckles.

Our regular clients will sometimes book a chemical peel before an upcoming event, like a wedding.

Superficial skin peels

This is a natural enzyme peel used to brighten the skin, treat imperfections and small blemishes, and brighten dull skin. This is our mildest skin peel, and there's no downtime required after receiving the treatment.

Mesoestetic & Dermaceutic chemical peels

Chemical peels, also known as skin peels, promote collagen growth and regeneration, leaving you with an even skin tone and brightness.

TCA peel

TCA stands for Trichloroacetic Acid, a type of chemical which exfoliates the skin at a dermal level. Depending on the strength of the solution, a TCA peel can be used to treat sun damage, acne scarring, pigmentation, wrinkles, and enlarged pores.

Cosmelan and Dermamelan treatment

Cosmelan is the cosmetic version, while Dermamelan is the medical-grade solution. Both are made of the same chemical compounds. We use this mask to treat melasma and hyperpigmentation, and can be used on a wider variety of skin tones.

Depending on which chemical peel we use, there will be some differences in pre- and post-treatment care. Generally speaking, though, you'll need to:

• Avoid natural or solarium tanning for a month prior
• Avoid waxing the area to be treated two weeks prior
• Avoid laser treatments two weeks prior

We'll give you more comprehensive information during your initial consultation.

After receiving any kind of skin peel, you'll need to avoid sun exposure and vigilantly apply sunscreen every day. 48 hours after your treatment, you should avoid exercising, applying excessive heat to the area (such as steam baths and saunas), and steer clear of chlorinated pools.
