Chemical peels are an effective skin treatment that rejuvenate and replenish the skin, going beyond everyday facial skincare products. By removing the exterior layers of skin, chemical peels reveal a smoother, fresher complexion underneath. At Freya's Lair Medical Spa in Albuquerque, NM, we offer various chemical peels to address various skin concerns for the best possible results.
At Freya's Lair Medical Spa, our experienced and qualified team of nurse practitioners and estheticians help patients reach their aesthetic goals through medical aesthetic treatments. We focus on each individual's overall health and wellness, ensuring naturally glowing, youthful skin.
