Euphoria Aesthetics at On The Fringe Salon and Spa Now Offers Chemical Peels and Microdermabrasion Chemical Peels and Microdermabrasion Enhance Skin and Repair Damage Chemical Peels: Chemical Peels modify signs of aging, sun damage, and acne. Peels also work to fade age spots and stimulate collagen production in the cells below the surface, softening fine lines and wrinkles. Because chemical peels fight aging and restore youthful skin, we recommend regular monthly peels. Microdermabrasion: Microdermabrasion is a process that involves exfoliating the skin using microscopic particles to stimulate new cell growth. This procedure can be used to treat age spots, shallow scars, fine lines and wrinkles, and uneven skin tone and texture. There is no downtime or recovery period. At Renew Dermatology and Laser Center, we follow the microdermabrasion treatment with an Omnilux light treatment to combat acne and aging of the skin.
