Neck Peel
Our neck peel formulated with Pyruvic acid helps to decrease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, lighten dark spots and improve skin firmness and elasticity. Pyruvic acid, an alpha-keto acid often used to treat acne, is also an effective agent in lessening the appearance of fine lines and hyperpigmentation in photo-aged skin. It is combined with Lactic acid (an alpha-hydroxy acid) and Ferulic acid (a powerful antioxidant) for a treatment that produces a brighter, firmer and more even skin tone. It can be used on the neck or upper chest and decolletage. The best results will be obtained with a series of 3 to 6 peels about 2 weeks apart.
You may be a good candidate for a Neck Peel with Pyruvic acid if you would like to treat any of the following:
:: fine lines or wrinkles
:: mild dark spots of the neck or decolletage
:: decreased skin elasticity
:: uneven skin tone
Office procedure: You will be asked to wash the areas with a gentle cleanser. Your neck or upper chest and decolletage will be cleansed and the areas to be treated prepped with a preparatory solution. The Pyruvic acid solution will then be applied. You may feel a mild tingling. 1 to 3 layers will be applied depending on how your skin reacts. To complete the treatment, a neutralizer will be applied.
What to expect with treatment: Immediately after your peel, you may have some red areas, like a sunburn, which will fade within a few days. Your skin may feel a little dry or tight after your peel – we recommend that you use a good moisturizer to help keep your skin hydrated and a sunscreen with SPF of 15 or higher. You may experience some mild flaking.

Q: Will the Neck Peel help to remove dark spots?
