Treatments

Chemical peels remove the outer "dead" layers of the skin or epidermis. This allows the epidermis to be more permeable for nutrients and moisturizers reducing fine lines and smoothing the skin, providing stunning anti aging results. Peels reduce the appearance of scars, produce a softer, suppler appearance to the skin and also reduce uneven pigmentation.

At Safire Medical Spa, these medical grade peels are available only with physician supervision due to its strength and effectiveness.

• Reversal - 4 treatments

What results can I expect?

Are there any risks with chemical peels?

Complications from superficial peeling agents are rare. The most common side effects may include persistent erythema, irritation and increased sensitivity.

How many treatments are required?

Depending on the desired result, each chemical peel treats different areas. Generally, 4-6 treatments with any chemical peel, once a month will give a desired result.

Can I combine a peel with a microdermabrasion?

This is by far the most effective way to improve your skin's appearance and is referred to as a Micropeel. It more effectively breaks down the cell walls so that nutrients and moisturizers can deeply penetrate the skin. This innovative skincare solution is offered at our Richmond, Indiana office.
