Why Chemical Peels Are the Secret to Perfect Skin

Did you know a flawless complexion exists directly beneath your skin surface? It’s so close you can almost touch it, but how do you get there?

Like Seinfeld, chokers, and wide-legged jeans, chemical peels were the height of fashion in the ‘90s. However, this treatment is enjoying a renaissance today and enjoying even more popularity than in their original heyday.

Chemical peels can deliver specific benefits for all skin tones and types, like reversing acne breakouts and melasma better than most advanced aesthetic technologies. In addition, they improve discoloration, acne, fine lines, and more by casting off dull surface skin cells for glorious fresh ones. And they can do all this for a fraction of the price of the costlier, flashier options.

New Peel Technology

As with most enduringly popular treatments, chemical peels have continued evolving with the times. While glycolic peels were fashionable in the ‘90s, they left skin raw and painful. Now, acid formulas are more refined, and so are the treatments offered by cosmetic specialists, dermatologists, and plastic surgeons. Today’s goal is less about causing flakiness and peeling. Instead, its purpose is to infuse your skin with ingredients that diminish facial flaws and build collagen to improve texture and tone.

Peels Make Your Skin Products Work Better

In only minutes, chemical peels lift dead cells and trigger a beauty restoration reaction. As your skin sheds its top layer, it sends signals to the living cells below to increase production, jumpstart collagen regeneration and hyaluronic acid production, and make your facial skin act and look younger.

A thorough sloughing of dull tired skin cells offers an immediate upshot — smoother skin that is more radiant and receptive. In addition, your skin products will perform better after a chemical peel because no dead cells impede penetration.

Customizable and Low Risk

Chemical peels have plenty of options for your individual needs.
