Improve the Tone & Texture of Your Face
Remove skin damage with chemical peels at The Retreat Restorative & Aesthetics.
About
Chemical peels are treatments that rely on certain types of skin-safe acids to remove damaged cells. Skin damage appears as blemishes, acne, brown spots, fine lines, wrinkles, and other abnormalities.
The acids that are used for the treatments can also be found in many consumer-level skin care products, but at lower and less effective concentrations.
Benefits
Chemical peels offer a range of skin-enhancing benefits by exfoliating the outer layer of the skin and promoting cellular turnover. Whether you want to reduce signs of aging, clear up acne, or brighten your complexion, chemical peels can provide:
- Smoother skin texture: By removing dead skin cells, chemical peels reveal softer, more refined skin.
- Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles: Peels help stimulate collagen production, which reduces the appearance of wrinkles and promotes firmer skin.
- Improvement of skin tone: Chemical peels can fade dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage, giving you a more even complexion.
- Reduction of acne and blemishes: Peels help to clear clogged pores and reduce inflammation, making them an excellent choice for those with acne-prone skin.
- Boosted radiance: The exfoliation process leaves the skin with a brighter, more youthful glow, revealing your skin’s natural vibrance.
Candidates
Our selection of chemical peels means that we can treat almost every skin type and condition. Chemical peels are not recommended for women who are breastfeeding or pregnant.
If you have an active skin infection or other medical issue that affects your skin, Dr. Baker may recommend that you manage the medical concern prior to having a chemical peel.
