WHAT IS A CLINICAL PEEL

A clinical peel is a professional skin treatment designed to improve the texture, tone, and overall appearance of the skin by exfoliating its outermost layers. Using medical-grade ingredients tailored to your specific skin type and concerns, clinical peels target a wide range of issues, including:

. Fine lines and wrinkles
. Acne and acne scars
. Hyperpigmentation and melasma
. Uneven skin tone and texture
· Sun damage
. Enlarged pores

Unlike over-the-counter exfoliating treatments, clinical peels penetrate deeper into the skin for more effective and long-lasting results. The treatment is performed by trained professionals in a safe, controlled environment.

How Does a Clinical Peel Work?
During the procedure, a specially formulated solution is applied to the skin to gently exfoliate dead skin cells and stimulate cellular renewal. Depending on the type and strength of the peel, you may experience mild to moderate peeling, revealing fresh, healthy skin underneath.
