Chemical Peels
A chemical peel is a cosmetic procedure that improves skin appearance and texture by applying a chemical solution to remove the outer layers of skin. The depth of the peel, ranging from superficial to deep, determines the extent of skin regeneration and the severity of potential side effects. Chemical peels can address issues like fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and acne scars, with deeper peels offering more dramatic results but longer recovery times.
How Chemical Peels Work?
These use mild acids like alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) to exfoliate the outermost layer of skin, promoting a fresh layer underneath.
These utilize trichloroacetic acid (TCA) or glycolic acid, penetrating deeper into the skin to address moderate wrinkles, sun damage, and acne scars.
These use stronger agents like TCA or phenol to reach the middle layer of skin, offering significant rejuvenation for severe wrinkles, scars, and pigmentation issues.
Types of Chemical Peels:
These are the mildest, using AHAs or BHAs to address fine lines, dryness, and uneven pigmentation.
These utilize TCA or glycolic acid to treat sun damage, wrinkles, and acne scars.
These use phenol or TCA for significant skin rejuvenation, but have the longest recovery time.

IPL
Photo facials use the energy of intense pulsed light (IPL), also known as Broad Band light (BBL), for rejuvenating the skin. Photofacials direct pulses of intense light at a targeted skin imperfection. The Alpha system uses powerful 3D IPL technology that safely passes through the skin tissue into the deep layers of the skin, heating the area with thermal energy capable of stimulating many therapeutic responses.
