A chemical peel involves the use of a chemical solution to improve and smooth the texture of the facial skin by removing its damaged outer layers.

Is a chemical peel painful?
Most clients report a mild stinging or slight burning sensation that lasts for a very short amount of time, however, it really depends on the type of chemical used during the process. Alpha hydroxy and beta hydroxy acids are quite gentle and are used for mild skin damage, fine lines and discolorations. Thanks to cutting edge technology such as Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and laser procedures that offer excellent results with little or no downtime, fewer and fewer clients are opting for seriously deep chemical peels
