Read more about our different peels below
+ VI Peel
Our most intense peel offered, VI improves tone, texture, and clarity of the skin while also reducing or eliminating age spots, freckles, and hyperpigmentation (including melasma). It also reduces pore size and helps clear acne conditions.
The VI Peel will promote the stimulation of collagen for firmer skin, as well as soften fine lines and wrinkles. This chemical peel is virtually painless and takes approximately 20 minutes. Except for sunscreen, little to no skin preparation needed. Severe peeling is what makes it so effective, but it will only last 7 days.
+ Obagi Blue Radiance Peel
The Obagi Blue Radiance Peel helps to reverse the effects of aging, sun damage and other skin conditions.
Using salicylic acid, this chemical peel treatment sloughs off dead cells while stimulating the skin’s natural renewal process. The chemical peel reduces breakouts and the appearance of enlarged pores, balances skin tone, diminishes fine lines and acne scars resulting in clear, beautiful skin.
This peel is typically not recommended for pregnant women. The Obagi Peel is designed to complement the Obagi Skin Care System.
+ Glycolic Peels
With the use of alpha hydroxy acids (aha’s), our Glycolic Peel increases your skin’s performance to allow fresher skin cells to surface. This chemical peel stimulates collagen production, refines large pores and improves fine lines and texture.
+ Lactic Acid Peels
This superficial and no downtime chemical peel is ideal to give you picture perfect skin before any big event.
The lactic acid gently exfoliates and hydroquinone gradually lightens pigment and sun damage.
The addition of hydroquinone is optional. This chemical peel is very popular for brides needing that last minute “glow.”
