CHEMICAL PEELS

About Chemical Peels

Chemical peels are highly effective professional treatments designed to exfoliate the skin, improve texture and tone, and address concerns such as acne, dullness, fine lines, and uneven pigmentation. Using active ingredients like Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs), or fruit-derived enzymes, these treatments work by encouraging cell turnover and breaking down the bonds between dead skin cells—revealing a fresher, brighter complexion underneath. Despite their powerful results, these peels are formulated to work with minimal downtime, making them a convenient option for clients seeking visible improvements without extended recovery.

AHAs, such as glycolic or lactic acid, help to deeply hydrate and smooth the skin, while BHAs like salicylic acid are ideal for clearing pores and reducing oil buildup. Enzyme peels—made from natural sources like papaya or pumpkin—offer a gentle, non-irritating exfoliation and are well-suited for sensitive or reactive skin. These treatments not only refine skin texture and enhance radiance but also prep the skin to better absorb other skincare products. With consistency, chemical peels can significantly improve skin health and reveal a clearer, more even-toned complexion.
