A Non-Surgical Solution to Younger, Smoother Looking Skin
Derma Peel is a revolutionary new skin restoration process, commonly referred to as "the lunchtime peel" because the procedure takes only minutes to perform and most people can return to work immediately. Used at exclusive European spas for over five years, this unique skin rejuvenation technique has recently received clearance from the Food and Drug Administration in the United States.
The Derma Peel procedure uses highly controlled vacuum and pressure to move microscopically abrasive crystals over the surface of the skin. This action causes little or no discomfort while it gently removes the outer layer of the skin. By repeating this process over the course of several weeks, or months, the younger, softer skin moves to the surface, revealing significant textural and color changes.

The procedure. Derma Peel is performed in a sterile environment. Treatment time varies from 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the severity of the skin problems and the area being treated.
