Chemical Peels

What are Chemical Peels?

Our skin, composed in layers of millions of cells, is a living organ. Every day, thousands of skin cells are shed from the surface and are replaced with healthy, new cells. As we age, the skin renewal process slows down and becomes less precise, causing the accumulation of dead skin cells on the surface where they are not efficiently shed. This inefficiency results in a lifeless, dull complexion. The purpose of a chemical peel is to facilitate the controlled shedding of damaged cells in the various layers of skin in an even, precise manner for optimum results.

What Are The Benefits Of A Chemical Peel?

How Does Chemical Peels Work?

In the chemical peel process, a fresh new layer of skin with a smoother texture and even color is exposed. In addition, new cell growth is stimulated by the peel, thereby giving the skin a fresh glow and a more youthful appearance. Our aesthetician uses a variety of effective, safe, and naturally-derived peeling substances to treat the skin, depending on the needs of each patient. We offer a variety of effective chemical peels, each of which improves the skin texture, color, and helps to diminish acne pimples.

Testimonials

I took my grandaughter to see Dr Soohoo today. The front office staff was great as was the MA. Everyone was patient and helpful. Dr Soohoo was not only intelligent and knowledgable, but made you feel like you were her most special and interesting patient. She was wonderful. I almost wish I had a skin problem so I could be her patient too! I also want to comment that I saw several staff interact with other patients, including two elderly people and they were excellent. Not at all condescending, but were helpful and supportive. Overall, this is one of the nicest offices I have been to.
