What are Chemical Peels?
A chemical peel is a technique used to improve the appearance of the skin and diminish the signs of aging. A chemical solution is applied to the skin which causes it to exfoliate and eventually peel off. The new, regenerated skin is usually smoother with fewer lines and wrinkles, a more even skin color, and a brighter complexion. Downtime can vary depending on which treatment is done.
- Superficial Exfolation
- GREAT FOR SENSITIVE SKIN
- 2% Lactic: Hydrating acid for an immediate skin benefit and “red carpet glow”. Acts as a humectant to bind water in the skin for an immediate increase in smoothness and hydration.
- 2% Niacinamide
- Phytic Acid: for additional brightening, with additional antioxidant properties to fight free radical damage. Ideal for problematic skin to reduce the appearance of pores and blemishes.
- Phenol
- Glycolic Acid: the gold standard AHA for gentle, effective exfoliation. Derived from sugar cane although now generally synthesized for clinical use. Smallest AHA molecule allows the deepest (superficial) penetration
