Chemical peels improve skin texture and firmness, decreasing fine lines and wrinkles. Acids are applied to the skin to lower the PH, which loosens the connections between dead skin cells, including exfoliation and stimulating new cell growth. This process causes superficial layers of the skin to peel off, revealing a smoother more radiant complexion. Peels also even out skin tone, improve acne-prone skin and reduce pore size appearance. They work by causing intentional damage to the epidermis and/or dermis with the goal of stimulating new tissue to improve skin texture and tone. Should have a consultation if initial peel.
