What are Chemical Peels?

Chemical peels in Mission Viejo 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.
