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.

The terms chemical peel and medical peel are often used interchangeably. Superficial peels are lighter and address mild issues, while medium to deep peels are more intense and target significant skin concerns.
Chemical solutions typically used include glycolic acid, trichloroacetic acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid or carbolic acid (phenol).
To maintain results, you can repeat mild and medium chemical peels. During your consultation and chemical peel, your specialist can tell you how often you can have a repeat treatment. A person can have only one deep peel.
Chemical peels are effective in treating a wide range of skin conditions, from active acne to acne scarring, uneven skin tone to sun damage, fine lines to severe wrinkles. They are also good for rejuvenating rough and aged skin.
