What is a chemical peel?
Chemical peels have been used for hundreds of years in enhancing the skin’s texture, tone, and overall appearance. These peels use a special blend of chemical ingredients that can help in removing dead skin cells and stimulating the body’s natural collagen and elastin production. The final result is clear, supple, glowing skin that will last for many months!

Which peel is right for me?
The team of Aura Skin Spa has a selection of VI Peels that can be used in treating all types of skin colors and concerns. However, a treatment right for one patient may not be right for another. During the initial consultation with Dr. Anthony Waechter, patients can bring up the skin concerns they have and determine if the chemical peel can help improve these issues. Otherwise, our team may make another suggestion for a different type of treatment available in the practice that may benefit the patient more.
