Professional skin peels are powerful treatments that exfoliate and rejuvenate the complexion. They are skin treatments, sometimes likened to a results-driven facial, designed to accelerate cellular turnover and reveal healthier skin beneath the surface.
It is important not to confuse this with physically peeling off the skin. While some peels are designed for the skin to experience a light shedding a few days afterward, this flaking usually only lasts for a few days and can be effectively covered up with a gentle, post-care hydrator provided at the end of the treatment.
Why Peels Are Good for the Skin
Professional peels use potent, chirally correct ingredients to penetrate deeper layers of the skin than at-home products, stimulating regeneration and boosting collagen production.
Benefits include:
- Improved Texture and Tone: Peels smooth rough skin and create a brighter, more even complexion.
- Reduced Signs of Aging: They help minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sun damage by boosting collagen and elastin production.
- Acne and Congestion Control: Specific peels decongest pores, control excess oil, and reduce inflammation associated with breakouts.
- Pigmentation Correction: They are highly effective in fading dark spots, age spots, and hyperpigmentation.
