How are the CosMedix peels different?
Traditional chemical peels typically consist of chemical solutions applied to the skin to form flakes or blisters that eventually peel off. This painful, old technology process destroys healthy tissue, forcing the body to heal itself. Instead, CosMedix’s chirally correct, non-traumatic peels succeed by stimulating healthy change. The soothing collagen therapy enhances skin’s appearance resulting in a beautiful, renewed complexion.
