What is a chemical peel?
A chemical peel is a procedure in which chemicals are applied to your face that cause old, dead skin to slough off, revealing fresh new cells. You’ll experience improved skin tone, texture, and youthfulness.
Different levels of peels are offered, and the experts at Samaeo Skin Spa determine just the right one for you.
Peels range in intensity:
- Superficial peels are the mildest and involve minimal downtime
- Medium peels are more intense and require 3 to 5 days of recovery
- Deep peels are most intense and require 7 to 10 days of recovery
Deep peels are most effective at reducing discoloration, scars, age spots, and wrinkles.
Who is a good candidate for a chemical peel?
Men and women who experience a variety of skin issues benefit from chemical peels. Chemical peels address a number of skin issues, including:
- Acne and acne scars
- Rough skin
