Chemical Peels

Chemical Peels in Holladay

Chemical peels remove damaged outer layers of skin to make skin smoother, reduce scarring and remove blemishes. Ranging from mild to strong, there are many types of chemical peels: alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and phenol. The strength of each peel is tailored to the patient. Peels can be combined with other procedures, such as microneedling, mesotherapy, or prescription medications, for additional improvement to your skin.

Chemical peels are performed within an aesthetic appointment at Medical Spa and Wellness by Michelle NP, by Michelle. Anesthesia is not required because TCA and phenol have anesthetic properties, and AHA produces only a slight stinging.
