For those with acne, enlarged pores and/or oily skin that does not respond to facials and home skincare, a series of our No More Acne Peel might be that right choice for you!  We are proud to offer this service to our clients in Philadelphia, Bala Cynwyd, Bryn Mawr, and other nearby areas in Pennsylvania.

Our No More Acne Peel at Essent Spa is a physician only liquid that help to increase the speed of skin exfoliation, inhibit bacterial growth and reduce oil production.

There a number of reason why our professional staff may recommend a chemical peel.

Firstly, normal skin exfoliation when you are younger takes about 2 weeks.  As we age, skin turnover slows.  This results in dead, dull skin coating the surface of our skin.  Chemical Peels gently stimulate cell turnover to give back that radiant look we remember.

Secondly, you maybe experiencing higher levels of abnormal bacteria on your skin surface.  This condition maybe reflected in acne, uneven skin tone, congestion, and enlarged pores.  There are many causes for this abnormal bacteria count.  Most often, this condition is related to hormonal changes.  Chemical Peels are an excellent choice to help correct this problem.

Chemical Peels can be used for all skin types.  We will help chose the right peel for your skin and goals!

Yes.  In fact, at Essent Spa, a chemical peel is an add-on to a facial!  You need to cleanse the skin and open the pores for the chemical peel to have the best effect.  Your provider may also recommend you combine this service with dermaplaning or another anti-aging procedure.  During your consultation, the appropriate treatment plan to achieve your desired results will be discussed with you.
