Chemical Peels
in West Palm Beach, FL
Chemical peels are a popular cosmetic treatment designed to exfoliate and remove the damaged outer layers of the skin. This process promotes the growth of new, smoother skin and can significantly improve the appearance of various skin imperfections. Chemical peels vary in strength and can be customized to address specific concerns, making them suitable for all skin types.
Benefits of Chemical Peels

- Improve Skin Texture: Enhance the overall texture of your skin, making it smoother and softer.

Types of Chemical Peels Available in West Palm Beach, FL
- Superficial Peels Ideal for first-time peel users, superficial peels use mild acids like alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) to gently exfoliate the outermost layer of skin. These peels are great for improving minor skin imperfections and providing a fresh, healthy glow.
- Medium Peels Medium peels penetrate deeper into the skin, targeting the middle layers with trichloroacetic acid (TCA). These peels are effective for treating moderate skin issues such as age spots, fine lines, and uneven skin tone.
- Deep Peels Deep peels use stronger acids like phenol to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin. These are best suited for more severe skin concerns, such as deep wrinkles, significant sun damage, and prominent scars. Due to their intensity, deep peels require a longer recovery period.

It’s important to use a good cleanser. You do need a toner, although people tell you a toner is not necessary. You definitely need to tone the skin, and you have to use a good moisturizer, and you also have to use a good sunscreen. But it’s not just good enough to maintain the skin, you also want to prevent aging. So you need to have some sort of a vitamin C serum. And you also have to use something that is a light exfoliant. And if you don’t use it every night at least once a week. The other thing is, I’m very holistic and I believe in detoxifying the skin, and I believe in using certain types of mud. We particularly like muds from the Dead Sea. Treatment once a week to help remove the toxins that you get in your skin, basically by being exposed and also by just the foods and things you introduce into your body.
