What Are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels are professional skin treatments that use safe, medical-grade acids to exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin. By removing the outer layer of damaged skin, chemical peels reveal a smoother, brighter, and healthier complexion.

Benefits of Chemical Peels

Minimize fine lines and wrinkles.
Treat acne and reduce the appearance of acne scars.
Improve uneven skin tone and discoloration.
Smooth rough skin texture.
Reduce the visibility of large pores.

Thank you for the care you gave my husband!!

Solstice Dermatology is THEE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! I have been to several dermatologists over the past couple of years and not ONE comes close. They take TOTAL CARE of your needs. The atmosphere is always so nice, clean and pleasant. The staff is so amazingly welcoming! Their energy is so gravitating. I originally went for keloid removal and now since that surgery has been performed and post opt is underway, I decided to embark upon a journey to receiving flawless skin under her care! I give them 100/10! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
