Facial Peels


Description:
A facial peel is a procedure that removes the top layer of skin. It is performed using varying types and amounts of chemicals. With the top layer of the skin removed this allows a new layer of skin to grow back in its place. This procedure results in a healthier, freshener, smoother looking skin, removes wrinkles, and fine lines. The deeper a facial peel the more the skin that is affected by the renewal/healing process. A medium to deep peel will also stimulate collagen in the deeper skin levels; this results in a firmer skin and reduction or removal of wrinkles.

Time Required:
The time required varies based on the strength of the peel. Light peels take about 30 minutes while heavier peels may take about 2 hours.
