Chemical and medical peels, also known as medi-facials, are skincare treatments aimed at rejuvenating the skin’s appearance by promoting exfoliation and cell turnover. Peels are a great way to address a variety of skin concerns including uneven skin tone and texture, acne, scarring, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, dull and dry skin, and wrinkles.
Our skin naturally renews itself every 28 days, however, over time this process slows down or can be disrupted during certain periods like pregnancy, adolescence, and menopause. Depending on your skin goals, we apply a non-invasive solution to the skin’s surface which encourages the shedding of dead skin cells and stimulates the growth of new skin cells, leading to a refreshed, smoother, and more even complexion.
