Physician-Grade Chemical Peels
Rejuvenate your skin and achieve a radiant complexion with a physician-grade chemical Peel at Refresh Med Spa. Over time, sun exposure, pollutants, acne, and aging can take a toll on your skin, leading to dark spots, wrinkles, and uneven texture. Our professional-grade chemical peels use advanced formulations like glycolic acid, salicylic acid, TCA, retinoic acid, and glutathione to restore your skin’s natural glow. By gently exfoliating the top layer of skin, these peels reveal healthier, younger-looking skin underneath.
What Are Chemical Peels?
A chemical peel is a transformative exfoliation treatment that removes the outer layer of dead skin cells, leaving your skin refreshed and rejuvenated. By altering the skin’s pH and dissolving protein bonds, a chemical peel effectively addresses a variety of skin concerns, including:
- Dark spots
- Textured Skin
- Acne scars
- Facial Redness

Suitable for all skin types, chemical peels can be applied to the face, neck, and décolletage, making them a versatile solution for achieving smooth, even-toned skin.
