The Arctic Peel™ offers a number of benefits for aging skin. The Arctic Peel is designed for people with sun-damaged skin and blemishes, and can help make skin noticeably smoother after just a single treatment.   The laser vaporizes superficial layers of skin on the face in order to treat damaged skin.

The Arctic Peel is a minimally invasive peel that can be performed without anesthesia. The peel is often referred to as a ‘weekend peel’ because it can be administered in less than 30 minutes and starts to increase cell turnover within 24 to 48 hours. 

- Some of the key anti-aging benefits of this peel include: Diminishing fine lines, smoothing out wrinkles, increasing collagen production, reducing visible signs of skin damage, lightening up scar tissue, improving texture and tone of the skin, and tightening loose skin.

 

Procedure: The peel is named the ‘Arctic Peel™’ because a Zimmer Cooler is used to stream cool air directly onto the skin after he peel is applied.

Duration: Arctic Peels take under 30 minutes to perform.  Although you will have noticeable results following one treatment, for maximum improvement multiple treatments are recommended at intervals of 4 to 6 weeks.

Anesthesia: none required; numbing cream may be used.

Hospital Stay?: No. Arctic Peels are comfortable, in-office procedures.

Recovery period: Recovery time is minimal and people return to normal activities within a day.
