Chemical Peel
At our Anchorage, Alaska, med spa, chemical peels are an integral part of basic skin care maintenance for patients from Wasilla, Palmer, and surrounding areas. Chemical peels also effectively treat a number of skin conditions, including acne, rosacea, hyperpigmentation and photoaging (wrinkles). When you visit FACES, a skin care specialist who is trained to evaluate your skin and its needs will determine the appropriate peel solution for you.
Chemical peeling increases the skin’s natural turnover cycle, which can slow as we age. Repeated, regular chemical peeling can stimulate collagen and elastin, which are the skin’s support structures. A chemical peel can also give the skin a smoother, clearer appearance, as well as assist in the treatment of acne or other skin conditions.

Request My ConsultationYour Chemical Peel Procedure
Chemical peels generally require a 30-minute appointment but may need to be longer if combined with extractions for acne treatment. Our specialists at FACES may recommend periodic treatments every 4 to 6 weeks.
I have been going to the Medical Spa for several years and have been enormously pleased with how they've kept up with the latest technology and available treatments. They provide me with the information I need to make good decisions, don't keep me waiting when I arrive and always make sure I am comfortable throughout the procedures. [They] explain what [they are] doing and adjust [their] pace to fit my tolerance, if necessary. I have been quite pleased with the results I've had from the Medical Spa.
