Chemical Peel
Tighter and brighter!
What is it?
For chemical peels we use a brand called CLINICARE.
CLINICARE’S peels contain a mixture of Glycolic, Lactic and Salicylic Acids. They work by removing the upper layer of the epidermis encouraging regeneration and rejuvenation of new skin cells.
CLINICARE peels come in three targeted ranges for specific skin indications/skin types and are well tolerated with minimum side effects.
