Chemical Peels~ are some of the simplest and most effective treatments for achieving that radiant glowing skin. Not only can you expect smooth and clear skin from these treatments, but chemical peels can also help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Chemical peels work by ‘burning’ the top layer of the skin with an acid solution; this slowly removes dead skin cells and the outer layer of skin to reveal a softer and smoother layer underneath. With some many different variations of chemicals to choose from, such as  glycolic acid, lactic acid, salicylic acid, etc. The options for getting beautiful skin in a few short weeks is endless. If you’re looking for a dramatic ‘lift’ to your appearance without expensive surgery, chemical peels could be just what you’ve been looking for to get that youthful look back!

Here are some great benefits of chemical peels:

• Reduction or removal of blotchy patches.

• Eliminating sun damage and evening skin tone.

• Acne management and scar reduction.

• Improved collagen growth and smoother skin.

• Better skin quality.

Here at Skinetics we offer many different peels~ Here are a few of our most popular………

We would like to introduce you to The Perfect Peel.  This unique formula debuts a new era in skin health and as we simply put it (Perfection: The Future of Skin Rejuvenation).  Never before has a peel offered results at this level to all ranges of skin types.  The Perfect Peel founds itself on a key anti-aging ingredient never before used in a peel: Glutathione.  Glutathione is the ultimate antioxidant known to prevent damage to important cellular components caused by free radicals and peroxides. As we age, our Glutathione levels are depleted due to sun exposure, air pollutants and environmental stress.

Best Wishes for 2012!

2012 is here and so are yearly resolutions. We all have bad skin habits to break, so why not add some skin care resolutions? Below is a list of our top 5 bad habits to break for the New Year.

1. Stop touching your face

Trying to self treat blemishes or other imperfections on your face can mostly lead to making the problem worse. Stay away from facial extractors available in your local drugstore, and leave it to a professional.

2. Appointments

For healthy skin, be sure to keep monthly appointments with your aesthetician, dermatologist, or doctor. And don’t forget to make an appointment for a yearly mole check up!

3. Stop sleeping with your makeup on

Once you get in the habit of cleansing your skin before bedtime, it will become routine and your skin will thank you!

4. Sunscreen

Levels of SPF can be found in almost any beauty product these days, so there really aren’t any excuses on why you are skipping this life saving step.

5. Set your own skin care goals

Setting skin care goals can only lead to you fully achieving what you would like most for your skin. We all have them, we just need to stick with them and the results will truly be rewarding…a younger looking you!

Best wishes for the New Year and new improved you!
