Chemical Peels

Chemical peels use either glycolic or salicylic acid to create a superficial peel that helps to minimize fine lines, lighten brown spots, even out skin tone, improve skin texture, and reduce acne blemishes. Taking approximately 30 – 45 minutes, these peels can be done during your lunchtime and you can resume normal daily activities immediately following treatment.
