Are Chemical Peels Worth the Hype?
If you’re looking in the mirror this morning and feel horrified at your dull, dry wintery skin, a chemical peel is calling your name. It will give you a fresh Spring glow that takes less time than a visit to your hair stylist and is a perfect way to celebrate the end of winter gloom. But if it’s not laser, is it worth the hype? Absolutely! YES!!! In the 90s, chemical peels were common, which may give you the impression that they’re outdated and blasé. And yes, there are some incredible treatments available in our medi spa right now, like the new Clear and Brilliant, a mini fraxel treatment with less downtime, but chemical peel popularity, believe or not, is on the rise. What Are the Benefits of Chemical Peels? First, your time is important, and a chemical peel can be done in as little as 20 minutes. Once you’re done, you can leave our spa looking radiant and not have to hide in your house for days. You can even sit down for a lunch meeting soon after or attend a charity event later that same night. Next, chemical peels are extraordinarily versatile. They treat many different skin conditions, like hyperpigmentation, discolouration, acne scars, sun damage, melisma, fine lines, wrinkles and other signs of aging by refining the upper layer of your epidermis.
