A chemical peel is a skin treatment which is used to improve and smooth out the surface of the facial skin. A chemical solution is used to remove top layers of skin which allows the dead surface skin to peel off. The peel speeds up your natural skin’s healing process by stimulating the production of collagen and improving elastin fibers which give skin its youthful form and shape. It also revitalizes sensitive skin and helps improve the appearance of irritated or inflamed skin. Superficial peels are a non-invasive way to immediately resurface and improve the health of skin with no downtime. A more intensive peel will result in general exfoliation (peeling) of the skin over 5-7 days to soften, smooth, and tighten the skin.
Revive offers several types of chemical peels formulated by SkinCeuticals and ZO Skin Health, Inc. They are categorized by the strength of the acid solution used in the peel, how deeply they penetrate the skin, and the skin condition we are treating. We will discuss what is best suited for you in our consultation with you.
