What is a Chemical Peel?
A chemical peel is a technique used to improve the appearance and texture of the skin on the face, neck, hands, back and chest. A chemical exfoliant is applied to the skin, which creates a superficial exfoliation of dead skin cells, revealing new, smoother skin, and facilitates the effectiveness of topically applied essential ingredients. Results achieved are dramatic, measurable and impressive, without the negative side effects associated with mid-to-deep peels.
Our Environ cool chemical peel does not have the negative side effects associated with mid-to-deep peels.
