Chemical Peels
Chemical Peels are one of the oldest types of cosmetic procedures to make skin look younger and healthier. During a chemical peel, we will apply a safe, medical-grade acid to your skin to remove damaged skin layers. Removing old or damaged skin layers rejuvenate your skin, making it look brighter and smoother. Chemical peels are mainly used to treat:
sun damage,
uneven skin coloring (like pigmentation problems from melasma),
acne scars,
fine lines and wrinkles,
blemishes caused by aging, and
a dull complexion.

Salicylic Acid Peel
About Chemical Peels
Salicylic Acid Peel - This medical-grade peel penetrates and cleans out the pores to encourage cell turnover. Anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory properties improve skin clarity and texture. It will refine pores, improve radiance, and reduce acne symptoms.
DO NOT book this peel if you have had any of the following
* prior negative reaction to similar treatment
* allergy to aspirin, salicylic acid, onion or apple extract
* use of Accutane in the past 6-12 months
* use of any retinol products in the past 2 weeks

* if you are unable to use SPF post-treatment
For optimal results, we suggest 3-6 peels spaced 3 weeks apart.
You should expect slightly flushed skin for 24-48 hours post-peel, with a possibility of slight flaking or light peeling on days 3-5.
We emphasize at-home care to enhance your results. We recommend purchasing our medical-grade Acne Defense Kit. We cannot guarantee how the skin will react if you are using other products.
APPeex Peel
APPeex Peel is a revolutionary three-phase medical grade, specifically designed to address a variety of skin concerns including uneven skin texture, facial skin laxity, sunspots, enlarged pores, chloasma, melasma, blotchiness, dull complexion, and different types of scars. This new generation peel boasts a unique and patented formula with three main components: TCA 20%, PDRN 5%, and Cyanocobalamin.
1st phase – EXFOLIATION – stabilized trichloroacetic acid provides fast and uniform exfoliation of the stratum corneum of the epidermis
2nd Phase – INACTIVATION. Vitamin B12 inactivates nitric oxide (NO), and reduces vasodilation, helping to avoid extreme redness post-procedure
3rd Phase – REGENERATION – Due to the PDRN contained in the peel, it has a regenerating effect which as a result has no visible recovery period
What to Expect:
Step 1 – thoroughly cleanse the skin paying particular attention to the T-Zone, rinse and dry
Step 2 – Apply 1ml of APPeex peel to the face – applying zone by zone, forehead first, then cheeks, chin, and nose. Gently spread (do not rub) product over the face
Step 3 – after 2 minutes, apply another 1ml of peel to the face and leave for 5 minutes
Step 4 – without rinsing off the peel, next apply a thick layer of APPeex cream over the top of the peel. This cream contains polynucleotides and moisturizing ingredients which, due to its PDRN, has regenerative, anti-inflammatory, and brightening effects
Step 5 – At Home - after 6-8 hours, the client washes off the Peel
PlasmaPen Spary Peel
PlasmaPen Spray Peel is a complete skin renewal and rejuvenation process. Plasma peel treats tired, dull, lax, aging skin, brightens the skin, fades pigmentation and treats sun-damaged skin. The peel treatment also treats acne scarring. The treatment increases product absorption into the skin by 80%!
PlasmaPen Spray Peel differs from Plasma pen treatment, using a different technique, there are no post-treatment skin dots, your skin will be red for 24 -48 hours, and the minute scratches will oxidize and turn a reddy brown color. From here over the next few days, your skin will start to flake off and reveal a new fresh layer of skin. You can wash your face post-treatment. You must avoid direct sunlight, hot tubs, hot yoga, and saunas in the week after.
The Plasma Spray Peel treats:
Pigmentation
Sun Damaged Skin
Rough Texture, Crepey Skin
Enlarged Pores
Acne Scaring
Dull, Sallow complexion
What to Expect
Chemical peel facial usually takes 30 to 60 minutes. You’ll lie on a comfortable table, and your skin will be cleansed and prepped. Then chosen peel will be applied.
Downtown Time - One Day
The exfoliation process also helps to improve blood circulation to the skin, resulting in a brighter and more youthful complexion. After the procedure, a moisturizer and sunscreen are typically applied to protect and hydrate the skin.
