Granite Bay Chemical Peels
Acne scars, brown spots, dullness, fine lines and wrinkles. These signs of “aging,” on the skin’s surface begin to appear when we’re relatively young, and only persist as the years go by. One great solution (quite literally) to these issues: a chemical peel!
Chemical peels are acidic solutions that exfoliate the outer layers of skin to reveal smoother, healthier skin cells beneath. They are quick, cost-effective treatments that can yield dramatic improvements for a variety of skin types and issues.

Types of peels and how they can help you ♥ your skin
Chemical peels are like cocktails for your skin—they come in a variety of recipes and strengths to suit a variety of skin types and target different skin concerns. Peels can be applied to the face, chest, hands, back and other areas of the body.
Light chemical peels: tone, brighten & tighten
The lightest peels only remove the outermost layers of skin to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion. Common light peels include Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA), glycolic acid, fruit enzymes, and salicylic acid. Light peels require no special prep, no anesthetic, and little to no downtime. One peel can achieve moderate improvements; a series can yield dramatic results. You might consider a light peel to:
- Reduce brown spots and sun damage
- Minimize fine lines
- Calm acne and inflammation
- Balance the complexion
- Smooth rough patches
- Get radiant, glowing skin for that big event
Deeper peels: minimize blemishes and restore a more youthful complexion
If you’ve let your guard down against the sun a little too long, a medium peel can help reduce fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, and other signs of visible skin aging. Deeper peels may require special pre-treatment skincare prep.
Expect a few days of downtime at most while visible peeling occurs, and you may need to veto makeup for a little while. The reward is skin that appears noticeably smoother and more youthful. You might consider a medium peel to:
- Reduce mild to moderate acne scars
- Reduce hyperpigmentation
- Smooth out fine lines and wrinkles
- Tone and tighten a crepey appearance
