Chemical peels are a great treatment all year round. They work by applying a chemical solution to the skin which exfoliate the outer layers, stimulating cell turnover and collagen production and revealing fresh, rejuvenated skin.
Chemical peels are effective for acne, acne scars, hyperpigmentation and anti-aging. They provide safe and noticeable skin rejuvenation with minimal downtime.
We offer both superficial and medium depth peels. Superficial peels are peels that generally do not peel! They are a great stand-alone treatment, but some can also be used before any injectable treatment to give your complexion that radiant glow. Medium depth peels may give a bit of peeling, usually around day 4 to 5 after treatment. They are a great option for improving lines and wrinkles and also reducing the appearance of acne scarring.

What DR Lizzie thinks
They are a great option for skin conditions such as hyperpigmentation, acne, rosacea and textural problems. They are a quick and easy treatment, with zero or minimal downtime.
