A medical grade chemical peel is a non-surgical, in-office treatment that exfoliates the skin to improve its appearance:
What it does
A chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and stimulate collagen production.
What it treats
Medical grade peels can treat a variety of skin conditions, including acne, fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and uneven skin tone.
How it works
The strength of the peel and the depth it penetrates the skin depends on the skin’s condition and desired outcome. Peels can be customized to your skin’s needs and come in different strengths.
How it’s done
A licensed skin care professional cleanses the skin and applies the chemical solution. You might feel a warm or hot sensation followed by stinging, which can be relieved with a cool compress. The chemical is then washed off or neutralized.
How it compares to other peels
Medical grade peels are more powerful and effective than over-the-counter or spa peels because they contain higher concentrations of active ingredients.
