peels:
the game changers

Peels carefully employ solutions of low pH - meaning they're acidic - to remove layers of skin to help with issues of aging, sun damage, porosity, texure and scarring. They are one of the champions of anti-aging. 

Alone, but better in combination with microneeding or microchanneling as a treatment plan, peels can significantly change the look and feel of your skin. 

​

What are peels?
Peels fall into categories: alpha-hydroxy acids or AHAs and beta-hydroxy acids or BHAs are the two most notable. There are also others, like TCA, resorcinol and resveratrol that also act as exfoliants and help to regenerate better skin. 

Peels, often called chemical peels or acid peels (the words seem frightening but really are just terms of science) are one of the best methods to non-mechanically (meaning without scrubbing with hard things) exfoliate and regernerate your skin.

 

Depending on your skin's sensitivtiy, your goals, your tolerance for the actual peeling and downtime you can do peels that range from superficial or light to medium to deep.

 

We work within a range of mild to  high-strength superficial to medium depth peels at the most.

Chemical peels treat most skin issues: wrinkles, fine lines, discolored skin, hyperpigmentaion, melasma, acne, acne scars, textural issues, porosity. There isn't much that won't look better after a peel.

Don't worry if you're late to this game. You can catch up, lol

At Kim Crawford Skin Revision we use glycolic, mandelic, salicylic, lactic, TCA, Jessner and the Red Carpet.

Superficial peels generally have little to no flaking or peeling. Higher-strength medium-depth peels generally have moderate to significant peeling that can last a number of days.

 

Together we'll assess your tolerance for downtime, your skin's needs and your skin's level of sensitivity and choose which is the best peel for you. 

The high degree of efficacy in a clinical environment is why the peel protocol is one of the most sought after treatments for most skin concerns. They achieve noticible results in a cost-conscious manner.

(Yuk, that was stiff. Can somebody real please rewrite that?)

Peels freaking work. They're not expensive. We LOVE them!
(Ahhhh. Much better!)

Psst, guess what?
Peels paired with microneedling with custom-blended serum and stem cell growth factors are what I do for my skin.
