A chemical peel using Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) and Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) is a procedure used to revitalize skin that appears dull and non-vibrant. It can also be used to improve acne, uneven skin tone and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. The face, neck and back can be treated.

How it works

The active ingredients in chemical peels work by speeding up and repairing cell regeneration, while bringing new cells to the surface of the skin, permitting new healthy cells to take their place, effectively renewing the skin’s surface.

The procedure takes 30 minutes to complete a full face. Larger areas may take longer.

How does it feel?

You may feel a very slight tingling sensation that will subside in a few minutes. The AHA/BHA peel is neutralized with water within minutes of the application, followed by a cooling gel. This procedure is very effective and produces no downtime.
