SkinCeuticals Micropeel

The Micropeel consists of three steps combining dermaplaning or exfoliation, chemical peel solution, and cryogenic therapy to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, laxity, dullness and skin imperfections.

Step 1: Dermaplaning is a manual exfoliation that safely removes the dead skin layer and velous hair.
Or an effective alternate for manual exfoliation is a mask with serum for patients with acne and breakouts. This step primes the skin for Step 2.

Step 2: Chemical Peeling Solution resurfaces the skin by removing the outer epidermis and stimulation collagen remodeling to improve hyperpigmentation, post acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, texture and skin impurities. There are 5 peel variations. I start with a baseline and work my way up when necessary.

Step 3: Cryogenic Therapy (CO2) is an anti-inflammatory and antibacterial freezing procedure that increases the rate of cell turnover and leaves skin feeling cool and tight.

  • Improves the appearance of epidermal lines
  • Even the appearnace of epidermal pigmentation
  • Refines the appearance of pore size
  • Makes the skin appear smoother and feel softer
  • Reduces the appearance of dull skin


I customize Micropeel programs based on my skin assessment and what my client's skin needs. For optimal results, 2 series of 4-6 procedures per year are recommended. The benefits are amazing!
