| The skin is the largest organ in our body. It is made up of millions of cells that protect us from the environment and regulate our body temperature. Every day thousands of cells die, flake off and are replaced by new cells from beneath the skin. As we age, this process begins to slow down. Our skin may become dull. Dark blotches, fine lines and other signs of sun-damage and aging begin to appear. | |||||||||

Peels have been used for over 100 years to create an even and controlled
shedding of damaged skin cells. Each year thousands of chemical peels
are performed in the United States. A chemical peel uses a solution
applied to the skin to remove dead skin cells and stimulate the production
of new skin cells. Chemical peels tighten skin, reduce wrinkling and
restore a more youthful appearance. Chemical peels can effectively improve a wide variety of skin conditions including: • Fine lines and wrinkles • Uneven pigmentation • Shallow acne scars • Sun-damaged skin • Age spots • Freckling Following any skin peel, it is important that you avoid any exposure to the sun. Your new skin is very sensitive and susceptible to injury. Always apply a wide spectrum (UVA and UVB blocking) sunblock of at least SPF 15 twenty minutes before you go outside. |
