What Are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are professional treatments that use gentle acids to exfoliate the skin, removing dead surface cells and promoting cell turnover. This process helps to improve the appearance of:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

  • Sun damage and pigmentation

  • Acne and acne scars

  • Uneven skin tone or texture

Unlike at-home exfoliants, professional chemical peels penetrate deeper for visible, lasting results.

How they work

Our chemical peels from AlumierMD and IMAGE Skincare are formulated with medical-grade ingredients to target your specific skin concerns. Peels work by:

  1. Loosening dead skin cells on the surface

  2. Stimulating new cell growth and collagen production

  3. Revealing fresher, smoother skin underneath

The strength and type of peel are customized based on your skin type, goals, and tolerance, from light “lunch-time” peels to deeper rejuvenating treatments.

Who’s the ideal candidate?

Chemical peels are safe for most healthy adults who want to improve their skin’s appearance. They are ideal for those:
