Kojic Acid Peels

What Is Kojic Acid?

Kojic acid is a natural product used in the treatment of pigmentation problems of the skin, by inhabiting the production of brown pigment.

What Does It Help To Improve?

Kojic acid is used to improve brown-spotting of the skin (hyperpigmentation). Brown spots are a common problem for those who have had excessive sun exposure, are taking hormone replacement, or are undergoing hormonal changes, such as pregnancy or menopause.

How Does It Work?

Kojic acid is performed by providing the patient with a series of peels, done at four week intervals. During that time, the pigmented areas slowly become lighter, leaving the skin tone much more even.

Who Performs The Peels?

The peels are performed by only registered nurses, who have had extensive training with this particular peel system. They are supervised by qualified dermatologists or a plastic surgeon.

Who Is A Candidate For This Peel?

This peel can be utilized on any skin type. Individual assessments are performed prior to initiation of the peels.

What Do I Look Like After The Peel?

Following the peel, expect to be slightly pink for usually about two hours. The skin will feel dry and tight for a couple of days, with a minor amount of flaking. You are able to wear makeup during this time. There is no "down time" period.

What Do I Do Once I Have Completed The Series Of Peels?

Once you are done, and the skin tones have become much more even, one of the most important things that you can do to prevent further reoccurrence is to always wear sunscreen.
