Chemical Peels

Chemical Peels are a method used to improve and smooth the texture of the skin. Dependent on the strength of chemical solution applied it can cause the dead skin cells to slough off, flake off or in more aggressive applications, peel off. The regenerated skin is typically smoother, fresher and less wrinkled than pre- treatment skin.

Chemical peels can be done on the face, neck, hands, back and body. They can be used to:

• Reduce fine lines under the eyes and around the mouth
• Treat wrinkles caused by sun damage and aging
• Improve the appearance of mild scars
• Treat certain types of acne
• Reduce age spots, freckles, and dark patches (miasma) due to pregnancy or taking birth control pills
• Improve the look and feel of skin

After a chemical peel, skin is temporarily more sensitive to the sun, so it is important to wear “broad-spectrum” sunscreen every day. Limit your time in the sun and please bring a wide-brimmed hat to Esthetika when expecting a chemical treatment.
