ABOUT CHEMICAL PEELS
WHAT IT IS
A medical grade chemical peel that is applied to the skin to visibly rejuvenate and elevate the skin. This formulation blends potent acids, antioxidants, and glutathione to target various skin issues by gently accelerating cellular renewal and supporting collagen production.
HOW IT WORKS
A chemical peel involves applying a chemical solution to your face to remove damaged skin cells and stimulate a fresher, younger-looking complexion. When the dull, damaged surface layer of your skin is removed, new, healthier cells grow in its place.
WHAT TO EXPECT
This peel only takes 15 minutes to administer. During the application, you may feel a warming sensation but this peel is virtually painless and requires minimal skin prep. Once the peel is applied, you will leave home with on while it self neutralizes. You will experience peeling of the skin on day 3-4 and total recovery is 7-10 days. It is essential to avoid the sun and active skincare ingredients (retinol, vitamin C, etc.) until your skin is fully healed.
KEY BENEFITS OF CHEMICAL PEELS
Exfoliation: Removes dead skin cells to reveal a fresher layer of skin.
Rejuvenation: Stimulates the growth of healthier skin cells.
Youthful Appearance: Helps achieve a radiant and youthful complexion.
Hyperpigmentation: More even texture and tone, helps with melasma.
