Your spot for a PCA Chemical Peel in Mount Pleasant, SC.
A technique used to improve the appearance of the skin by chemically removing the top layers of the skin/dead skin cells, revealing new and healthy skin. A PCA SKIN® chemical solution is applied to the skin that causes it to exfoliate and eventually flake off. This new, regenerated skin is smoother, reducing the appearance of age spots, hyperpigmentation, scars, fine lines, and wrinkles.

Chemical Peels FAQ
-
As skin cells mature, they rise to the top where dead skin cells normally slough off to make room for newer ones. In some cases, dead skin cells build up on the surface of the skin. A chemical peel removes this layer, or even portions of layers underneath, to encourage the formation of new skin tissue that displays fewer imperfections.
