chemical peels
Starts at $100
What
At Restore, we have an array of chemical peels based on your individualized skin type. There are three types of chemical peels: superficial, medium, and deep. Superficial peels are the mildest and can be used to treat fine lines, acne, and uneven skin tone. Medium peels are more intense and can address more severe skin concerns, such as deeper wrinkles and hyperpigmentation. Deep peels are the strongest and can help improve the appearance of scars and deep wrinkles, but require the longest recovery time.
How
Chemical peels are used to improve the appearance of the skin by removing the damaged outer layers of skin. The chemical solution used in the peel causes controlled damage to the skin, which triggers the body's natural healing response, leading to the growth of new, healthier skin cells. Peels are used to treat scars, hyperpigmentation, texture, tone, melanoma, acne.
When
During the procedure, the chemical solution is applied to the skin and left on for a specific amount of time, depending on the strength of the solution and the depth of the peel. After the peel, the skin may be red, tender, and flaky for several days to several weeks, depending on the type of peel performed.
It is important to follow proper aftercare instructions and avoid sun exposure to ensure proper healing and to minimize the risk of complications.
