Chemical Peels
Chemical peels are treatments designed to address various imperfections of the skin including dullness, abnormal pigmentation, fine lines, wrinkles and acne scars.
How It Works
Chemical peels work by penetrating the deep surface layers of the skin, hence triggering increased collagen production and turnover of new skin cells. Regular treatments result in a refreshed, rebalanced and revitalized appearance. They are an excellent option for skincare as they can:
Improve skin tone, texture and firmness, diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, clear acne-prone skin, revitalize sensitive skin, decongest pores and minimize milia.

Treatment Process
The treatment process for a chemical peel will vary among individuals as it is tailored for each person. Generally, the skin in thoroughly cleansed and prepared with a balancing solution. Corrective products are then used. A thin layer of acid ( i.e. glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic, acid) is applied by a soft brush to the face. Individuals may feel mild stinging while the chemical solution is on the skin.
A neutralizing solution or wash is used to remove the chemical solution from the treated area. A combination of products from AlumierMD home care line will be added to enhance treatment and to address the individual’s concern. Finally, products are used to calm and protect the skin.
