Chemical skin peels are used to resurface the skin. They assist in the removal of dead skin cells, which are causing the skin to look dull, sallow and contribute to congestion. There are various types of chemical skin peels, some that will make you shed like a snake and others that will increase your glow and radiance. More downtime aka active flaking doesn't always mean better. It all depends on what we want to treat and the result we're wanting to achieve. At Fig Aesthetics we offer chemical skin peels that will do both glow and physical skin shedding. The patients who are indicated for chemical skin peels have the following concerns with their skin; uneven texture, congestion, comedone, hyper pigmentation, uneven tone and aging skin. We do recommend patients stop the use of AHA, BHA, Retinoids and home exfoliators 5 days before coming for their treatment. The appropriate homecare will be discussed with you at your appointment.
