Exfoliate dead skin and
reveal a radiant complexion

Chemical peels are skincare treatments that use chemical solutions to exfoliate the outer layers of the skin, promoting cell turnover and revealing a smoother, more radiant complexion. They work by applying a solution to the skin, which causes it to peel off, removing dead skin cells and stimulating the growth of new, healthier skin cells. Chemical peels come in different strengths and types, ranging from superficial to deep, allowing customization based on individual skin concerns. Chemical peels improve overall skin texture, tone, and radiance.

Chemical peels treat:

  • Acne and acne scars
  • Hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Sun damage and age spots
  • Rough or dull skin texture
  • Melasma (skin discoloration)
  • Enlarged pores
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Mild to moderate skin laxity
  • Rough or dry patches
  • Some types of superficial scars

How do chemical peels work?

ZO Skin Health

ZO Skin Health peels utilize a combination of exfoliating agents like salicylic acid, glycolic acid, and lactic acid to penetrate the skin’s surface layers. These acids break down the bonds between dead skin cells, promoting their shedding and revealing fresh, new skin. Additionally, ZO Skin Health peels contain ingredients like retinol and antioxidants, which further enhance cell turnover and repair damaged skin. By stimulating collagen production and improving skin texture, these peels promote a smoother, brighter, and more youthful complexion.

PRX-T33

PRX-T33 is a chemical peel solution containing a combination of trichloroacetic acid (TCA), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and kojic acid. Unlike traditional TCA peels, PRX-T33 does not cause visible peeling or downtime. Instead, it works by penetrating deeply into the skin’s layers, where the TCA stimulates cell renewal and collagen synthesis without damaging the outermost layer. Meanwhile, hydrogen peroxide enhances tissue oxygenation and provides antioxidant benefits. This synergistic action boosts skin rejuvenation, improving texture, tone, and firmness.
