What is a CosMedix Peel?
CosMedix peels are new generation peels. They are powerful yet gentle chemical peels that help fight the effects of time, sun and environmental damage. CosMedix peels are suitable for all skin tones and complexions. The special formulation includes a unique blend of peeling agents: alpha-hydroxy acids, beta-hydroxy acids, resorcinol and retinoic acid. While results are predictable and noticeable after just one peel, dramatic results are seen after a series of peels. This is a highly effective rejuvenation procedure with no downtime and mild, controllable post-procedural peeling.
