Chemical Peels
Our PCA Chemical peel helps to improve the visibility and appearance of acne scars and thickens skin texture; while assisting in reducing the effects of sun damage. Our peels help to bring to the surface the brown hyper-pigmentation in dermal layer which can allow to lighten or brighten sun or age spots.
