WHAT is Facial Peels?
A facial peel is a cosmetic treatment in which a chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove the top layers, revealing smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin underneath. This treatment is typically performed on the face, but it can also be done on the neck and hands.
WHY to get treated?
Facial peels can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, sun damage, acne scars, and uneven skin tone. They work by exfoliating the top layer of dead skin cells, which can improve the skin's texture and promote the growth of new, healthy skin cells.

The process of a facial peel can vary depending on the type of peel and the skincare professional administering the treatment. However, here is a general overview of what you can expect during a typical facial peel:
- Consultation: Your skincare professional will first conduct a consultation to assess your skin type, identify any skin issues you have, and determine which type of peel is most suitable for your needs.
- Preparation: Your skin will be thoroughly cleaned and prepped for the peel. This may involve removing any makeup, oils, or dirt from your skin and applying a pre-peel solution to ensure that your skin is ready for the treatment.
- Peel application: The peel solution will then be applied to your skin, either with a brush or a cotton swab. The solution will be left on your skin for a set amount of time, depending on the type of peel and the desired results.
- Neutralization: Once the peel has been on your skin for the appropriate amount of time, your skincare professional will neutralize the solution by applying a special solution that stops the chemical reaction and prevents further peeling.
- Post-treatment care: Your skincare professional will provide you with post-treatment instructions, which may include avoiding sun exposure, using specific skincare products, and avoiding certain activities for a period of time.
The recovery time and results of a facial peel can vary depending on the type of peel and the individual's skin type and condition. In general, however, most people will experience some degree of peeling or flaking of the skin in the days following the treatment. This is a normal part of the process and should subside within a few days to a week. The final results of a facial peel can take several weeks to become fully visible, as the skin needs time to heal and regenerate.
BENEFITS
Facial peels offer a range of benefits for the skin. Here are some of the most common benefits of this cosmetic treatment:
- Improved skin texture: Facial peels can help to smooth out rough, uneven skin texture by removing the top layer of dead skin cells and stimulating cell turnover.
- Reduced fine lines and wrinkles: Certain types of facial peels, such as medium and deep peels, can help to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating collagen production and smoothing out the skin.
- Diminished hyperpigmentation: Facial peels can help to lighten dark spots, sun damage, and other types of hyperpigmentation by removing the outer layers of the skin and revealing fresher, more evenly-toned skin.
- Reduced acne and acne scars: Certain types of facial peels can help to reduce acne breakouts and fade acne scars by unclogging pores, reducing inflammation, and promoting cell turnover.
- Improved overall skin health: Facial peels can help to improve overall skin health by removing impurities, stimulating cell renewal, and promoting a more youthful, radiant complexion.
It's important to note that the specific benefits of a facial peel can vary depending on the type of peel and the individual's skin type and condition. It's also important to work with a licensed skincare professional who can recommend the most appropriate type of peel for your needs and ensure that the treatment is safe and effective.
