Chemical Peel & Microdermabrasion Information:

A Chemical Peel is a treatment in which an acid solution is used to remove the damaged outer layers of skin. A chemical Peel is typically administered as a facial peel, and as such the chemical peel enhances and smooths the texture of the skin.

As we age, our skin's ability to shed its top layer of dry skin diminishes. In order to breathe and exfoliate, the pores increase in size creating an aged dull appearance. In just thirty minutes the Nu U Esthetician covers the surface of the face with a hand piece that combines gentle abrasion and suction.

Once chemical peel treatment is complete and the dead skin is removed, your skin will instantly feel like it is breathing again. Not only will the pores shrink, but the area treated will also retain its natural glow. Other side benefits of a chemical peel include smoother, tighter skin, reduction of the effects of acne scarring, lightening of pigmented areas, and elimination of fine lines. The most common area to treated with a chemical peel is the face, but the back, hands, and bottom of feet are also treated as well.
