Chemical Peels in San Carlos, CA
Chemical Peels in San Carlos, CA
We offer light and medium-depth medical-grade peels that contain certain acids to help improve the texture and tone of your skin. Chemical peels are great at reducing the visible signs of sun damage, rough texture, fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, uneven skin tone, and acne. Choose between one that has little to no peeling or one that sheds sheets of skin for better results.
We recommend a series of 3 peels one month apart for correction, or one peel every 4 months per year for anti-aging and prevention.
