SkinCeuticals peels are professional chemical peels that exfoliate the skin to improve tone, texture, dark spots and fine lines. Paz Dermatology offers the SkinCeuticals MicroPeel, Gel Peel, Pigment Balancing Peel and Advanced Corrective Peel at its Fresno and Visalia, California offices.
Brighter, smoother skin, peel by peel
A chemical peel uses a professional solution to lift away the dull outer layers of skin, so fresher skin shows through. Light peels heal in 1 to 7 days,[1] which makes them easy to fit into a busy life.
SkinCeuticals peels range from gentle and hydrating to more corrective, so there’s an option whether you want a pre-event glow or a plan for dark spots and dull skin.
