The MicroPeel® is a three-step process that removes a micro-thin top layer of skin.  The top layer is a significant obstruction to having better skin because it is pore-clogged.  For patients with drier skin, this peel may also be performed without the use of alpha hydroxy acids.  The procedure is safe, effective, and is accomplished in approximately 20-30 minutes, so it can be done on your lunch hour.  You are able to reapply your makeup directly after the procedure.  

The MicroPeel Plus was specially formulated for patients who struggle with acne.  This treatment uses of beta hydroxy (salicylic) acid, which is very antiseptic and will help eliminate the overproduced sebum that causes breakouts.  The MicroPeel Plus is great in refining skin texture and clearing up irregularities.  You may or may not continue to peel after this treatment.  Some patients experience anywhere from 3 to 5 days of exfoliation of the skin.
