Are you still battling acne, wondering if you will ever
have the clear skin you desire? For stubborn hard to treat
acne, chemical peels and acne facials may be just what the
doctor ordered. To supplement your current acne regimen
or control episodic flares due to stress and hormones, chemical
peeling and/or acne facials can be added to standard acne
therapy for faster results.
Dermatologists have been using peeling agents for the last
50 years. Light “lunch time” peels can
treat those annoying sun spots and blemishes or “jump
start” and freshen your skin by stimulating the production
of new healthy skin. Deeper peels can reverse changes
due to a lifetime of sun exposure, hormonal changes, more
severe acne, acne scars, smoking and other environmental
stresses.
Ever wonder how Cleopatra kept her skin so youthful and
soft despite the harsh conditions of her time? She
new the secret of bathing in sour milk, which contains a
natural peeling agent, lactic acid!
