This treatment effectively targets acne, reduces the appearance of scars, and improves overall skin texture. Skin peels promote cellular turnover, revealing fresher and clearer skin underneath.

Treatment Time
Approximately 30-60 minutes, depending on the specific peel used.
Target Areas
Face, neck, and décolletage.
Downtime
Varies based on the strength of the peel; some patients may experience peeling for several days.
