What Is a Chemical Peel?
(http://ow.ly/AAYH30jNKw2)

A chemical peel is a specially formulated solution applied directly to your skin. It delivers intense exfoliation, removing layers of dead skin cells from the surface and revealing the brighter, healthier layers growing beneath. Regular chemical peel sessions can be an effective way of treating acne, smoothing uneven skin tone or texture, and generally improving the vitality of your skin. We offer two types of chemical peels at U Shape Med Spa in Coconut Creek. The PCA Skin® peel is a very gentle, surface-level treatment while VI Peel® penetrates more deeply. You can call our office on 954-368-9196 for an appointment or make one online. Learn more about chemical peels at our website.

Most beauty experts recommend the use of some form of facial scrub to remove dead skin cells and improve the way in which your skin absorbs serums and lotions.
