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.

Follow these steps to prepare your skin for a successful Chemical Peel at Refresh Med Spa:

  1. Address Broken Skin: Wait until any cuts, open wounds, or skin irritations have fully healed before your peel.

  3. Hydrate Your Skin: Use a gentle moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated in the days leading up to your peel, especially if your skin feels dry or tight.
  4. Avoid Exfoliants: Discontinue retinol, acids (e.g., glycolic or salicylic), or scrub exfoliants at least 48 hours before your appointment to prevent over-exfoliation.
  5. Skip Hair Removal Treatments: Avoid waxing, dermaplaning, or any exfoliating hair removal methods for 24 hours prior to your peel.

Follow these guidelines:
