Chemical Peels
in Jonesboro, AR.
A chemical peel is a solution applied to your skin that removes the outer layers in a controlled way, so newer, smoother skin comes through as it heals. Light peels refresh texture and tone with little downtime. Stronger peels go deeper and need more recovery. We match the peel to your skin at your consultation.
Here’s exactly what happens at a first visit — and you can come and see the place before you book anything.
Tone, texture and marks.
A peel can help with uneven tone and dark spots, mild acne and acne marks, rough texture, enlarged-looking pores, fine lines and mild sun damage.
The peel is matched to your skin at your consultation, and light peels are often done as a series rather than once.
Light peels, little downtime.
Typical ingredients
Glycolic, lactic or salicylic acid.
