What are Chemical Peels?
Chemical peels improve your skin’s appearance and texture by applying a specialized chemical solution that removes the tired outer layers of skin to reveal the fresher, healthier skin underneath. The result is a clearer, smoother, and more radiant complexion with minimal interruption to your daily life.
At MedGlo, we offer the Enlighten Peel — a powerful treatment that targets persistent sunspots, melasma, uneven skin tone, and dullness. It refreshes and rejuvenates the skin, providing a brighter, more uniform complexion without the downtime associated with more intensive procedures.
Every chemical peel at MedGlo is performed personally by Dr. Violeta Recalde, MD — customized to your specific skin concerns, tone, and goals.
Transparent Pricing
