Peels
Peels are a specialized skincare treatment that eliminates damaged and dead skin cells by applying a chemical solution to the skin. This treatment is effective for the face, neck, hands, and chest. The active ingredients, such as glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and lactic acid, work by dissolving the weaker bonds between the older skin cells, which helps exfoliate the top layer and reveal smoother, more youthful skin beneath. Peels are particularly effective for improving skin texture, reducing fine lines, managing acne, and lightening hyperpigmentation.
Peels are ideal for individuals seeking non-invasive skincare solutions to rejuvenate their appearance. Typically, results can become visible after just one session, but multiple treatments may be necessary for optimal outcomes. The results of peels, such as improved skin clarity and elasticity, generally last for several months, depending on the individual’s skin type and condition and the maintenance regimen followed post-treatment. Regular sessions every one to three months help maintain the benefits. To experience the benefits of peels and customize the treatment according to your skin needs, book an appointment with us today.

For best results, it is recommended to undergo peel treatments, generally once a month for about 3 to 5 sessions, followed by maintenance treatments every 1 to 3 months.
Post-treatment care includes using gentle skincare products, avoiding direct sun exposure, and applying sunscreen regularly. Additionally, it’s important to keep the skin hydrated and avoid using any harsh chemicals or exfoliating products on the skin for at least a week after the treatment. Refrain from picking or peeling any flaking skin to prevent scarring. Ensure regular follow-up appointments to assess the progress of your skin’s improvement and adjust the care routine as recommended by your skincare professional.
