What is a Micro Peel?
Micro Peels have been used for decades
to revitalize and resurface skin. They involve applying
a chemical solution to remove the damaged outer layers
of skin and reveal a younger, clearer, more radiant
complexion. They are commonly performed on the face,
chest and hands.
Light, medium and deep peels penetrate
to different levels and, consequently, produce different
aesthetic results. Generally, the deeper the peel penetrates,
the more profound the results, but the more lengthy
the recovery period. An individual's skin type, degree
of damage and personal expectations will help determine
which Micro Peel is most appropriate.
How Does It Work?
The process usually takes 30 to 45
minutes and although some patients' faces may seem a
bit pink afterwards, there is no "downtime"
and makeup can be applied immediately after the treatment.
You can return to your normal schedule right away (though
we recommend allowing the skin to breath for up to 24
hours post treatment). Two to three days following an
ultra light peel, patients may experience temporary
flaking, dryness and scaling, which can be controlled
with a topical emollient.
How Do I Get Started?
We have a wide range of different peels,
so we can customize a treatment specifically for your
skin's needs. Please do not hesitate to ask one of our
knowledgeable staff for more information.
