Chemical exfoliation is the most effective option, delivering lighteners deeper into the skin . This chemical exfoliation treatment will be customized to your needs . It involves application of a chemical solution to produce a “removal” of outer layers of the skin . This allows the fresh , new layer of the skin underneath to develop and grow, leaving you with a radiant and brightened complexion. This peel is used to gently exfoliate acne-prone, hyperpigmented, and aging skin without excessive irritation or dehydration. It may cause mild flaking of the skin.
*PLEASE NOTE* if you need a more aggressive option/peel, you need to refer to a dermatologist.

The high velocity of this procedure effectively removes dead skin cells at first contact, exfoliating and soothing the skin at the same time.  Hydrodermabrasion hydrates, cleanses, and revitalizes skin while supporting healthy blood circulation. Better circulation, in turn, promotes the production of collagen and elastin fibers that tighten the skin and promote a youthful look.

•Benefits sensitive skin that cannot undergo other forms of microdermabrasion
•Decreases visibility of scarring and dark shadows
