All chemical peels dissolve the alkaline bonds (the cement or glue) between dead skin cells. This allows the cells to flake off evenly and at a faster rate. The cells beneath are newer, fresher and less dehydrated. This gives a softer and smoother appearance to the skin. While all AHAs and BHAs facilitate the natural exfoliation of skin cells, different acids serve different purposes and help treat various skin conditions. Our experienced medical aesthetician will select the appropriate type of acid and modify the strength of the peel based on the patient’s needs.

At GMA, we avoid traditional aggressive peels that may strip away the vital layers of the fragile epidermis, essentially revealing skin that is not ready to be exposed. Peels that are too aggressive may be counterproductive, destroying the natural barrier of the skin, making skin more dehydrated and sensitive. An effective, yet nonaggressive peel we offer is the Mummy Cool Peel. The Mummy Cool Peel involves the application of a lower concentration of lactic acid over a series of gentle treatments. This treatment supports the skin’s natural functions and processes and builds healthy skin gradually over time.

We also provide other Peel treatments, including our Cosmelan Depigmentation Peel, Mandelic Acid Peel, and GMA Acne Peel. To determine which treatment is suitable for your skin condition and needs, please book a complimentary skin assessment and consultation with one of our skin experts.
