Skin Peels
A skin peel involves the use of a chemical solution that improves the skin by removing the top damaged layers, promoting the production of elastin and collagen and new skin formation. They are most commonly used on the face but can be used to improve the skin on other areas such as back and decolletage.
A chemical peel is most effective when used in conjunction with the correct skin care regime and may require more than one treatment to give optimal results.
