One or Three Microdermabrasion Treatments or Chemical Peels at Inverness Dermatology in Hoover (Up to 65% Off)
Like an iceberg, beauty mostly resides below the surface, but only its visible portion can gain the attention of an ocean liner. Look shipshape with today’s Groupon to Inverness Dermatology in Hoover. The office is open Monday–Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Choose between the following options:
- For , you get one microdermabrasion treatment or one chemical peel (up to a value).
- For , you get three microdermabrasion treatments or three chemical peels (up to a 5 value).
Dr. Elizabeth Jacobson—a board-certified dermatologist and the voice behind ABC 3340’s Doc Talk—leads Inverness Dermatology’s skincare specialists in resurfacing complexions with advanced abrasion technologies. Chemical peels come in two varieties suited to different skin types. The first, a salicylic-acid peel, targets oil, blackheads, and skin volcanoes by stripping away the skin’s superficial layers over the course of two–three days. Alternatively, a glycolic-acid peel sheds rough, dry, or discolored skin by breaking up the lipids that link dead skin cells. Glycolic peels have a shorter recovery period and are considered gentler and more likely to win high-school yearbook polls than salicylic-acid peels. To administer microdermabrasion treatments, technicians employ a mechanical wand that buffs away exterior layers and reveals the fresh skin just beneath.
