With aging comes skin imperfections, ranging from discoloration to age lines and wrinkles. While some complexion complications are unavoidable, we at Hale Cosmeceuticals believe that there is no reason to live with dull, aging skin when medical science has a solution.

 What is a Chemical Peel?

A professional chemical peel, also known as derma-peeling or chemexfoliation, is a skin treatment in which a specially-designed solution of chemicals is applied to the face in order to remove damaged outer layers in order to reveal a younger, more vibrant appearance.

Meet With Your Doctor

Prior to scheduling a chemical peel, you should meet with your doctor to discuss whether the procedure is right for you. Speak openly with your doctor, and disclose any medications, skin conditions, and medical conditions. Your doctor may advise you that a chemical peel alone is right for you, or she may recommend additional procedures to help you achieve your best complexion.
