Chemical Peels
Lactic acid - $85
Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), but it’s gentler than glycolic acid and is derived from milk or fermented vegetables. It’s great for both exfoliation and hydration, making it a favorite for sensitive or dry skin types. Lactic acid sloughs off dead skin cells to reveal brighter, smoother skin, but it does so more gently than glycolic acid, making it ideal for sensitive or reactive skin. Brightens and evens skin tone, smooths skin texture, improves appearance of fine lines.
Glycolic acid - $85
Improves skin tone and radiance, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, helps with acne, boosts aborption of other products and exfoliates dead skin cells. One of the most commonly used AHAs in skincare due to its small molecular size, which allows it to penetrate the skin easily and effectively.
Salicylic Acid - $85
Salicylic acid is derived from willow bark and is oil-soluble, meaning it can penetrate into pores and break down excess oil and debris. Unlike AHAs (which work on the skin’s surface), BHAs like salicylic acid work deeper inside the pores. It breaks down the mixture of oil and dead skin that causes blackheads and whiteheads, making it ideal for clearing and preventing breakouts. Reduces acne and inflammation, exfoliates inside and out, controls oil production, and shrinks the appearance of pores.
AFA amino acid peels - $95
They provide antioxidant protection and exfoliation without the irritation often caused by traditional peels. Gentle yet effective exfoliation. AFAs remove dead skin cells, improving texture and tone without causing the stinging or redness common with AHAs. They attract and retain moisture, leaving the skin feeling soft and plump. Improves skin clarity and glow, minimizes fine lines and wrinkles, reduces pigmentation and sun damage, provide antioxidant protection, safe for sensitive and rosacea-prone skin, and can improve the appearance of acne and blemishes.

MCCM™ ANTIAGING CHEMICAL PEEL - $145
MCCM Antiaging Peel is particularly recommended for mature skin and photoaging, indicated for use on all skin types, on the face and eye area, weekly. It’s also effective for expression lines, puffiness, and dark circles, a broader indication range than most single-acid peels cover.
How It Works: The two active acids work on different levels of the aging cascade. Pyruvic acid, an alpha-keto acid naturally present in honey, vinegar, and fermented fruits, acts as both a keratolytic and a collagen stimulator. At the dermal level, pyruvic acid stimulates new collagen production, the formation of elastic fibers, and glycoproteins, reducing wrinkles, photoaging, and hyperpigmentation.
MCCM™ AZELAIC CHEMICAL PEEL - $145
Azelaic acid, a naturally derived dicarboxylic acid with a clinical track record across acne vulgaris, rosacea, melasma, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
How It Works: Azelaic acid works through several mechanisms simultaneously, which is what makes it unusually useful across multi-concern presentations. It’s keratolytic, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antimelanogenic all at once.
MCCM™ MANDELIC CHEMICAL PEEL - $145
Patients with pigmentation or active acne need a peel that clears and corrects without triggering the post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that undoes the result. The MCCM™ Mandelic Chemical Peel is perfect for hyperpigmentation, photoaging, and acne-prone skin.
How It Works: Mandelic acid’s large molecular size, the largest among AHAs, means it absorbs into skin slowly and evenly. That controlled penetration is what makes the difference with darker skin tones: faster acids disrupt the epidermis too abruptly, triggering the melanocyte response that produces post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
MCCM™ SALICYLIC CHEMICAL Peel - $145
How It Works: Salicylic acid works through three simultaneous mechanisms. The anti-aging benefit comes through accelerated surface cell turnover. Six sessions of controlled exfoliation gradually reduce photoaging markers, soften acne scarring, and improve overall skin tone in presentations where congestion and aging overlap.
MCCM™ LACTIC CHEMICAL PEEL - $145
Lactic Acid targets collagen production, skin elasticity, and surface renewal in mature, dry, and aging skin.
How It Works: Lactic acid breaks desmosomal bonds between keratinocytes, the cellular adhesion points that hold dead skin cells to the surface. Once those bonds are disrupted, cell turnover accelerates, and fresh skin appears faster than it would naturally. It draws moisture from the collagen layer up to the skin surface, producing a plumping effect that dry skin responds to immediately.
MCCM™ GLYCOLIC CHEMICAL - $145
Glycolic Acid is indicated for expression lines, photoaging, acne scars, melasma, psoriasis, and seborrheic keratosis.
How It Works: Glycolic acid acts as an enzymatic exfoliant, breaking the intercellular bonds that hold dead cells to the skin surface rather than abrading them mechanically. That action clears the stratum corneum layer by layer, tightening pores and revealing the fresher skin beneath.
