Chemical Peels
Chosen for your skin after an assessment.
A solution applied to the skin so that it sheds and renews. Which peel and what strength depends on your skin type and how it has been prepared, so we decide that with you at the consultation. If your skin reacts in a way we do not like, we stop.
Results vary and are not guaranteed. If screening shows it is not right for you, we will postpone it or suggest something else.
