Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are medical-grade skin treatments that use acid solutions to exfoliate damaged outer layers, revealing smoother, brighter, and younger-looking skin. They effectively treat acne, wrinkles, pigmentation, and uneven texture with minimal downtime.

How Do Chemical Peels Work?

Controlled Exfoliation – Acids dissolve dead skin cells and stimulate collagen production.
Customizable Strength – From light (lunchtime peels) to deep (clinical peels).
Multi-Layer Benefits – Improves skin texture, tone, and elasticity over time.

2. Medium Peels

  • Ingredients: Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) 20-35%
