The chemical peel is one of the most honest skincare treatments around. It doesn’t hide behind a fancy name. It is what it says: a chemical solution that harnesses your body’s natural processes of renewal, which can largely be summed up as “removing dead skin cells or discard old skin cells to make space for new ones.” In other words, it causes the skin to peel so that the new skin can grow in its place. So how long does a chemical peel take?

Depending on the treatment, they can take anywhere from 45 min to 75 min.

• MELINE® MEDICAL GRADE PEEL -Targets hyper-pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, as well as acne and acne scarring. The MELINE process includes preparation and peel, followed by specific aftercare products to use at home designed to control pigmentation, decrease melanin production, promote skin cell renewal, improve sun damage, and promote an even skin tone.MELINE® chemical peels provide controlled chemical dermabrasion, exfoliating the top layer of dead skin, resulting in a more even-toned and healthy glowing complexion.

•  GLYCOLIC ACID PEEL- A concentrated glycolic acid formulation that ranges in strength from 20—70% glycolic acid to gently exfoliate layers of the skin. Glycolic peels slough off the surface and middle layers of the skin, removing dead skin cells and other types of debris from the skin and its pores.

• JESSNER'S PEEL- Light- to medium-depth chemical peel created from a blend of salicylic acid, lactic acid, and resorcinol which all work together to exfoliate the outer layers of the skin. Patients also benefit from the noticeably youthful glowing skin after a Jessner's peel.

• TRICHLOROACETIC ACID (TCA) - Analogue of acetic acid in which the three hydrogen atoms of the methyl group have all been replaced by chlorine atoms. Salts and esters of trichloroacetic acid are called trichloroacetates

• LACTIC PEEL - Lactic acid peels offer benefits like gentle exfoliation, improved skin texture, and hydration. They can also help address hyperpigmentation, fine lines, and rough texture. Lactic acid peels are considered gentle and suitable for sensitive or mature skin.

•  RETINOL- Offers various skin benefits, including reducing wrinkles, acne, and hyperpigmentation, while also brightening the skin and improving overall texture. It works by exfoliating the skin, promoting collagen production, and accelerating cell turnover, leading to smoother, more vibrant, and younger-looking skin. 

• SALICYLIC ACID - Offers numerous benefits for the skin, particularly for those with acne, oily skin, or clogged pores. It helps unclog pores, reduce inflammation, exfoliate dead skin cells, and improve skin texture, leading to a smoother, clearer complexion. Salicylic acid also has comedolytic properties, meaning it helps dissolve and remove buildup of oil and dead skin cells that can cause acne and blemishes. 

• ALPHA HYDROXY ACIDS (AHAs)- Alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) peels offer a range of benefits for the skin, including improved texture, reduced hyperpigmentation, and a smoother complexion. AHAs, like glycolic and lactic acid, work by exfoliating the skin's surface, stimulating collagen production, and promoting cell turnover. This can lead to a brighter, more youthful appearance, reduced fine lines and wrinkles, and improved hydration. 

• PHENOL - Phenol peels offer significant skin rejuvenation by penetrating deeply to stimulate collagen production and improve skin texture. They can effectively address deep wrinkles, acne scars, sun damage, and precancerous growths. However, due to their intensity, they require a higher level of expertise and come with potential risks like skin necrosis and prolonged downtime.
