Chemical skin peels
Chemical skin peels can improve the skin’s appearance by removing the outermost layers of varying thickness and thereby encourage regeneration of the underlying layers of skin.
Clinic based chemical skin peels are a great way of restoring the skin’s healthy glow. Peels always work synergistically with a home care protocol to deliver an integrated skincare regimen and enhanced results.
