Acne peels
Suitable even for younger patients with milder acne, acne peels include treatment with enzymes to remove dead skin layers to encourage healthy skin growth and renewal.
We also offer specialized and customized acne peels for moderate to severe acne.
Chemical peels including glycolic, salicylic, amino acid, and enzyme-based, among others, are offered to help you achieve even-toned, healthy-looking skin by removing the outer layers of dead skin. These peels help stimulate the production of collagen that is the natural skin tightening agent.
VI Peel
VI Peel is a medical-grade peel used to improve the appearance and health of the skin. It can treat various skin concerns, including acne, scarring, fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and hyperpigmentation. The peel combines a blend of ingredients that work synergistically to remove the upper layers of damaged skin, promoting cellular turnover and regeneration.
