Why we love chemical peels
Despite the intimidating name, chemical peels are our favourite way to challenge the skin, seeing visible results. All of our peels are gentle on the skin resulting in no down time or physical peeling of the skin. All ‘acids’ used in our peels are derived from natural ingredients. This is the best way to stimulate collagen and elastin, exfoliate the skin and correct skin care concerns!
What should I book for my first peel?
We highly recommend the ‘Lactic Resurfacer’. This peel will rebalance the skin and is safe for all skin types including sensitive.
What can I expect from my first treatment?
Each treatment is always customized to your specific skin. Our chemical peels are both effective and very relaxing. Expect a slight tingling sensation during the peel, skin will feel fresh and exfoliated when completed.
But First, A Consultation!
Skin consultations are complimentary! If you are a new client we recommend booking a consultation before a peel. Your aesthetician will go over your current skin care routine, evaluate your skin, offer suggestions and create a custom plan for your needs.
