Techniques Used
The treatment involves a professional multi-step process:
- Deep Cleansing – Removes makeup, oil, and impurities to prepare the skin.
- Chemical Peel Application – A carefully selected medical-grade peel solution is applied to exfoliate the outer skin layer and stimulate regeneration.
- Neutralization & Rinse – The peel is neutralized and removed after the appropriate time to ensure safety.
- Brightening Serum Infusion – Serums with vitamin C, niacinamide, peptides, and antioxidants are applied to calm, repair, and enhance radiance.
- Soothing Mask – Hydrates and reduces irritation while enhancing the peel’s brightening effects.
- Moisturizer & Sunscreen – Protects the treated skin and supports recovery.
Sessions typically last 45–60 minutes, and the peel strength is tailored to the patient’s skin type and concerns.
Recovery & Aftercare
Recovery is usually minimal, with mild peeling, redness, or dryness expected. Recommended aftercare includes:
- Using gentle cleansers and hydrating skincare products.
- Avoiding direct sun exposure, harsh exfoliants, or retinoids for 48–72 hours.
- Applying broad-spectrum sunscreen daily to protect treated skin.
